The Family Building Society has launched the Windfall Bond, which in some ways is similar to Premium Bonds from National Savings and Investments, in that holders of the account are entered into a monthly prize draw.

The account also pays an interest rate of 0.50%, the rate is guaranteed to match the Bank of England base rate, though this guarantee is reviewed annually. £10,000 must remain in the account at all times. There are ten prizes of £1,000, two of £10,000 and one prize of £50,000 given out every month.
