    Rather than add a single £1 million prize it would have been wiser to add more small prizes. e.g. 100 prizes of £10,000 or 1000 prizes of £1000– I think Premium Bond investors would find this a more attractive proposition. Most people would like to see some return on their money and smaller prizes will provide more frequent payouts. Adding another £1 million prize just means that everyone will have an even smaller chance of winning any prize.
