The cousin has 25,000 in prize bonds and said she has not had a win since last October.
Even then I think it was only a 50 euro win or I would have heard about it.

how much did you catch out

I cannot find my prize bonds. What do I do if say I win a big amount? Hee Hee.

Got a schedule off Fexco last year with all the numbers and that. But I cannot find the actual bonds. House move disaster! They are somewhere, but I don't know where.

So can anyone advise?

Have you emptied all the suitcases yet, the attic is always a good place to check, what about the letters press beside the microwave in the kitchen, so many possibilities.

To be serious....

You do not need the actual bonds if you are a winner (well for the smaller amounts anyway), they will just send the cheque (once they have the right address for you). The problem would arise if you want to cash them, they would probably want the actual bonds then, ring them is the best bet.

No win since August last, on nearly €8k worth of bonds - longest dry spell in years

Nothing.

I'll give it until Xmas. If I get nothing, I'm withdrawing everything..

eamonn147

nothing today either :mad:

Im pretty much done with PBs now aswell, will have another 15k tranche ready after my next payslip to bring my holding up to 45k but Im just not winning anything anymore so Ill probably just give up and look for something else, any suggestions welcome. Or I might leave 50k in PBs for 5-6 months and use it as a deposit on an apartment depending on what prices do.

eamonn147

Thargor out of interest how much have you won in prizebonds and over what period of time..Im relatively new to PBs myself and thought id have won more my now

Thargor

Hard to say I didnt keep good records, I was doing well on 25k for a long time in college, usually a €75 or €50 when they reduced it waiting for me at home when I went home from college every 3 weeks or so, then cashed all that in.

A year ago I put 15k in and increased that to 30k just as they reduced their prizes, Ive only one twice on that money so a pathetic performance.

Unscientific but there were winners in this thread every week until they reduced the amount of prizes being given out and then there was nothing, people just stopped winning overnight.

Absolutely right - sadly:(

Another 50 today, that's €100 on 1k in the last few months, good returns for me :-)

The exception to the rule.

Always 1 :pac:

Another win today of €50. Quite happy considering I've been 'in' a little over three months. I've already exceeded the amount of interest(after DIRT) that I earned in a leading 6 month term account with the same investment amount.

With some luck I'll have a few more winners.

Total winnings since February 2015: €200
Last win: 17th April 2015 (1 x €50)

How much did you invest to win €200 in 3 months?
