Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.National Savings & Investments is trying to trace more than 898,000 premium bonds winner who have not yet claimed their prizes, worth a total of £44m.
One of the top unclaimed prizes is £100,000. All NS&I knows is that the bond-holder is female and she has £25-worth of Premium Bonds and that she lived in London.
The woman – or girl – won in February 2007 but NS&I has been unable to contact her, probably because she has moved home and has not updated her details since.
There is no deadline for claims, so winners can come forward for their prize at any time.
You can check whether you have a winner at nsandi.com.
