prize bonds?

Hi, I don't know if this is the right place to post this but here goes. I'm just wondering if anyone has prize bonds, or knows someone who has them and have you / they had any luck.

i have won mulitple times on prizebonds, 75 each time still crossing my fingers for the big one. here is my philosophy u must own at least a grand & if u have that grand six months and u have not won anything cash it in and buy again with new numbers.

thats how i did it, its up to u after that.

Forgive me for bumping an old thread but Prize Bonds are a load of crap in my opinion.

I've had a large four figure sum in Prize Bonds for almost three years and I've never won a cent.

Time for me to remove those funds and put them on deposit somewhere.

I had 5k of prisebonds for 2 years, won €75x4 times, that was it.
Still better than the interest rate in the banks at the time i suppose.

€300 over two years isn't bad at all. It's probably quite rare to win that much.
