Maximum Premium Bond holding?

I hold the maximum of £50K in P/Bonds and have just been notified that I have won a £25-00 prize.
What happens to that prize? Is it payed to me as cash or is it added to my holding as I have wished for any other prize wins in the past.

    If you have instructed them to pay prizes to your account then that's what they will do. If you have asked for them to be reinvested then ...
    • Reinvested prizes are subject to the holding limit of £50,000. We will reinvest prizes up to the limit and send you a warrant for any balance. If the holding limit is exceeded inadvertently, by an automatic reinvestment, or because you have bought additional Bonds before learning of the reinvestment, we will return the value of the Bonds to you - but not any prizes which may have been won on them.
