More than 3,500 prize-winners in Suffolk are among the culprits, with five leaving £1,000 lying idle.
It is believed many Premium Bond holders fail to register a change of address, meaning they disappear off the system.
The news of unclaimed prizes comes on the back of a record-breaking month for the bonds.
More than £1billion was ploughed into the scheme last month – by far the highest total in the 47 years since it was launched.
Nearly 250,000 people heeded warnings about Britain's volatile stock market and headed to Ernie for a safer home.
Each £1 bond has a one-in-30,000 chance of winning a prize ranging from £50 to £1million.
The five top winning tickets in Suffolk are:
n 06BT931371 – last known living in Felixstowe
n 14KW564213 – last known living in Suffolk
n 26WL499046 – last known living in Ipswich
