    I used to dream about winning the million. After 6 months or more without a win I started dreaming about winning €50. Enough was enough :-D

    No win again today, longest spell without a win of about 6 weeks since I began in February. Beginners luck may be wearing off!

    I wish you well honey. Holding breath while waiting can be dangerous, so just dream on, like the rest of us. We all MIGHT be lucky some day. your Mam saw a few Blue Moons, super; I netted €300 since 1/1/15 on €60K+. :mad:

    Good luck, the hens will come home to roost, perhaps. (You know very well that there are no musty drawers in Kerry!)

    Time to jump ship i think, I'm out. 2.3b is ~368m bonds, very slim chance of winning. Best you luck to everyone!

    Some seriously heavy hitters on this topic obviously, €130m 'invested' in Prize Bonds in the first 6 months of this year, did pbwinner realise the impact he was going to have on the number of bonds in circulation when he started the topic?

    Maybe I can ask for a Referer's Fee - might boost my returns a bit :)

    Wow, Really must be a blue moon..2x50 today,, Been a long time since I saw that...
    Cashed in some during the week,, They must have realised I was losing faith..
    Am worried that pbwinner might change his username if his luck doesn't change.

    They could at least give you that elusive 50 euro to bring you up to 2k !
