I'm confused about this, is the winning bond number the same as your account holders number?  if not, where this winning bond number comes from?
I noticed all winning bonds have a string of numbers and letters. My account holders only have numbers, so I don't know if it's the same thing

Your account holder's number is a number uniquely identifying you as an individual, so you have one and only one holder's number.

Bond numbers are the numbers uniquely identifying each bond you purchase, so you can have up to 50,000 of these, and any of these can win prizes.

Not sure I'm understanding the confusion but hope that clears it up....

Every £1 you put in is an individual bond. Each one has it's own number. If you buy them together they will run in sequence. It is those individual numbers that are 'drawn' to decide whether you have won.

I was lucky to get a big win in June, as well as a £50. The latter went into my account as usual but the bigger wins you get sent a claim form to complete. So I'm waiting on that prize to be credited at the moment.
