Premium Bonds Prize Winner: Mrs Griffin
Mrs Griffin's big win on the Premium Bonds doesn't divert her from her regular 6am milk round in Honiton, Devon
Overview
Luck has come the way of Mrs Griffin, a Honiton milk lady, who still makers her regular 6am milk delivery round despite her big win on the Premium Bonds. She's refreshingly awkward and initially monosyllabic in her interview for this short advert. The concluding motto is a resoundingly clunky "You can't lose and you could win."
This is one in a series of TV adverts made to promote Premium Savings Bonds, which were still relatively new, having been launched in 1956. The government-guaranteed bonds were unveiled by Harold Macmillan and soon became popular. Each £1 bond purchased qualified for a monthly draw with a top prize of £1,000. Premium Bonds are now held by more than a third of the UK population, and the monthly prizes range in value from £25 - £1,000,000.
