Way to much coincidence of this unsupervised private draw.

Especially as scothy stated that he PRINTED the form, not that he SUBMITTED it- must be telepathy!!! :D:D:D

Nothing again this week, this is now the longest period without a win, a full six months, last win 22nd September 2017 €50 euro.

I'm going to try the withdrawal form printing trick next week!

Im hoping Trump vs China vs the EU turns into a proper trade war with a chance to cash in these joke tickets and pick up a few bargains in the markets.

This week's Prize Bond Draw will be held on Thursday 29th March.

Andrew Flexing

has everyone printed their "Withdrawal Forms"?

tuisginideach

After another 'Sorry', I am - genuinely - printing and withdrawing another large batch today. :(:(:(:(

Cork Lass

Got the sorry message again today. I downloaded the form as I had forgotten it before the draw. Getting seriously sick of it now

Taylor365

Good to hear others are bailing out

The current batch (€15k) has gone 1 year without a win.

dxhound2005

Long overdue winner for me today. As it turns out, if I only held about €6,300 it would have got me €150 in the last six months.

Congratulations you have new winners.

People in the UK go a step further than printing withdrawal forms. They send Valentine's cards to the Premium Bonds random number generator.

Among the stranger myths are the idea that you can influence the outcome by sending Ernie a Valentine's card or that Ernie (the Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment that picks the numbers) 'knows how you think'.

Andrew Flexing

First e50 in 15 weeks !!!!

On current form my next win will be mid-July.

It is ridiculous!!! Nothing this week, last win 22nd September 2017, still I live in hope, I dream big, and there is always next Friday.....

The laws of chance can be unfair to some and more than fair to others. This happened in Thursday's draw.

While printing out our withdrawal forms, and invoking other forms of magic, we have to remember that there are 4,161 winners and over 500 million losers.

For anyone that's considering withdrawing your funds, I'd be interested to know if you plan to 'invest' them elsewhere.

I would say US ETFs, but since the new year they're off the cards.

The only reason i have any money in pbs is that i will probably need it in the next 2-3 years.

Nothing for me since the €50 on 19th January on c.€70K. Happy Easter and good luck to you all!

Cork Lass

Good luck to all today. I downloaded the withdrawal form last week so let’s see what happens.

tuisginideach

I submitted the withdrawal forms last week for 2 batches and guess what ..... nothing, zilch, conspiracy theory out the window :(:(:(

Andrew Flexing

hard luck Tuis....are you definitely taking some out?

tuisginideach

Yes, I submitted i.e. posted them during the week.

Cork Lass

Didn’t work for me either. Nine weeks without a win

Checking I can submit a reply

Hello All     we are UK based and recently were forced to cash in over 100k of bonds,  the Irish authorities insisted I hold a PRSI no (my husband has one) but would not allow me to have one, so the bonds had to be cashed,     total inequality since Irish residents can hold UK bonds,    the return rate on the prizebonds had deteriorated  last win Eu50 last April   total mess, together with the frequent requests for proof of identity (authenticated) it was becoming a nightmare to hold them.  Have invested in UK Prem bonds and won a small prize first month,     I presume it will be a job for Kerry     Had absolutely no problem getting the cash, it was dealt with efficiently

Andrew Flexing

No Joy.
Weeks since last win: 01

Bassboxxx

Long time since I posted here..still hang around to see how others get on..

Can't believe I got a cheque this week for €50!!!!

Just checked, it was 2 years and 3 weeks since last winner (8k scattered in small bunches).

I'd gave up :rolleyes:
