This winner has a total holding of £50,000 and purchased her winning Bond in July 2015.
The results of this prize draw means she is the third jackpot winner from the East Anglian city.
The second millionaire is a man who is based in Cambridge.
He has a total holding of £15,700, and his winning Bond number 334AX125846 is part of a Bond worth just £25 that was reinvested from a prize win in July 2018.

Following the jackpot win, he has become the fourth jackpot millionaire from the area.
Jill Waters, NS&I’s Retail Director, said: “Spring is well and truly here for these two jackpot millionaires, as well as more than three million other people who have received tax-free prizes this month.
“Our millionaire from Cambridgeshire won with a Bond that was worth just £25 following a reinvestment from a previous prize win they’d had.
“With £25 being the minimum amount that people can invest, this shows that any holding, whether small or large, has a chance to win the magic £1 million jackpot.

“The £25 minimum investment is just one of the ways that Premium Bonds have become more accessible.
“We’ve recently launched text message notifications to inform people of wins, as well as enabling child winners to have their prizes paid directly into the bank account of their nominated responsible parent or guardian, ensuring that children get their prizes more quickly.”
NS&I is urging Premium Bonds holders to check whether they could claim a prize.
The government-backed savings bank said that more than 1.7million prizes worth more than £65million altogether are still waiting to be claimed by Premium Bond holders.
