Suspicious Prize Bond wins

Billiejo

Two years ago I bought some PBs and within 2 months I won E75.
Soon after, I bought some for my immediate family members and hey presto! All won E75 two months later.
Around the same time the 'win' topic was discussed during a meeting with a group of relatives, friends & work colleagues, some of whom followed suit with the same result.
Now to date 20 people within my circle who bought PBs won the exact same E75 within 2 months of purchase,,,,,, and not a bean since.
The 'nothing since' does not surprise, but how 'Random' can the above be?
Sounds awfull suspicious. Or does it?

Sounds like an odd coincedence, unlikely to be anything more sinister.

That happened to me, only I got two separate checks for €75 in one month, about 2 days apart. Apparently I won twice!

I have four prize bonds for nearly 30 years now; I haven't won a single penny. In the meantime, I have probably lost 80% of the value through inflation.

Same happened me - I bought some and within a couple of weeks I won ( I think £75 - some time ago ). Anyway, after not having won anything for a couple of years I emailed to complain saying that a bank account would have returned much better interest rates and hey presto - €75 within a week !

Ditto - I've had a bunch since I was born and I've never one a penny/cent.
