If the child is under 16 the responsible parents manage the account, so the decision regarding what to do with the funds is theirs.\u201d<\/p>\n Another person responded to say they had come across four cases where a child had won the jackpot.<\/p>\n NS&I chief executive, Dax Harkins, said after the announcement the prize fund rate would increase: \u201cPremium Bonds are one of the nation\u2019s favourite savings products, so increasing the prize fund rate to its best level since 1999 and improving the odds means that more people will have the chance to win prizes each month.<\/p>\n \u201cThese rate increases will help ensure that our savings products remain attractive to customers, whilst ensuring that we continue to balance the needs of savers, taxpayers and the broader financial services sector.\u201d<\/p>\n For the latest personal finance news, follow us on Twitter at @ExpressMoney_.<\/b><\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/23\/590x\/secondary\/Premium-Bonds-prize-draw-4937631.jpg?r=1693556881424\")
