Premium savings bonds were introduced by the then Post Office Savings Department (POSD) in 1956, and first sold in November of that year. The sale of these bonds has continued without interruption from that date, the routine administration of the scheme being handled by the Bonds and Stock Office, originally part of the POSD but, from October 1969, part of the Department for National Savings.
The novelty of the premium bonds scheme is that bond-holders qualify for inclusion in periodic prize draws, winning bond numbers being randomly selected by 'ERNIE' - electronic random number indicator equipment.
