I do hope your investments will rise soon again. I wouldn't have the nerve to go near the stock market plus I'm semi retired so can't afford to risk whatever savings I have.
I really thought I would win the odd €50 here and there with that much money invested in prize bonds. I checked the website deligently every week for 7 months but as the months went by without a win in sight, my enthusiasm waned.

that's disappointing to hear but very common unfortunately,best of luck for the future.

Nothing for me.

Why is it on Thursday this week? Is it because tomorrow’s Good Friday or is it always like this on Bank Holiday weekends?

Given the day that it is, it's just a little reminder from NTMA that we're all fools for having any money invested in prize bonds :pac:

The number of €50 prizes in the April draws is 4,009, up from 3944 in March. The newest bond to win on 01 April is AWB169570. On 05 March it was AVS260357, sales of around €55.7 million in a short month. Sales in March 2018 and 2019 were around €45 million, so the Covid effect still seems to be strong.

Bond number 10306 won €50 today, would have been issued in 1957.

You must be trying to log in to the brand new profile, which must be registered for. I assume the old tracker log in to check is still there too.

No. Cannot find the old log in. Annoying as I didn’t know about the new log in system. Should read on here more often!

My grandmother found her mothers bond certificates who has passed. Does anyone know anything about being able to cash them in? Or even check was there ever any winnings on them? As i assume they would of been registered at an older address as they are years old.

I would have thought with zero and indeed negative interest rates that’s reasonable

It's not totally useless information - he is showing whether he did (€) or didn't (X) win in the 4 or 5 draws of the month. I think it's a very clear way of laying out his success (or sadly, the lack of it). Other posters state they haven't won for 2/5/8/11 weeks - this is just a different way of giving the same information.

Thanks @Tuis!
No joy for me this week in Kildare.
