€25k invested in prize bonds

pbwinner

Hiya,
Thought I'd update this thread on the success (or not) of €25k (yes, €25,000) I invested in PBs since February.

Purpose of this thread is to give some indication of the success rate of PBs for the ordinary punter as I assume €25k is large amount to invest in one go.

Planning to keep it in there for a year or so.

Winnings to date: €25

€50 for me today, after nothing in July.

Extraordinary bit of luck for someone in Sligo.

But I think rather than extraordinary luck they just prefer first prize

Imagine if they'd only bought the minimum amount of Prize Bonds; 4 units for €25... that would be some return!

I'm looking to invest 50K into prize bonds. Can I make this purchase online or will I need to go to the post office?

Post office and they are quite strict on what documents they accept

Are you sure? The rate of return is random, if not utterly ****e.

and yet another annoying aspect of that poxy new website ... I was wondering why I hadn't received any acknowledgement (from mother of new baby) of prizebonds I ordered online as a gift - I discovered yesterday when I asked outright had they received them that the NTMA in their 'wisdom' no longer sends the accompanying 'Congratulations/Happy Birthday' type message and name of donor with the gift prizebond.

And as a follow-on, if the recipient received two prizebonds and subsequently won the million one one of them, he/she wouldn't know who to share the champagne with!!!

Well holy god, €50 for me today!

Back in the fray.... 6x 5k put in over the last 3 weeks. My besties ( the revenue commissioners) sorted for November. Under no expectations,,,but even 1 little win would be sweet.
My Friday fix back on.... &#55357;&#56832;&#55357;&#56832;&#55357;&#56832;&#55357;&#56832;

Yeah the site sucks so bad now!

Try https://www.statesavings.ie/prize-bonds/tracker#findwinners after logging in.
Then you can change the date range to return all your winning history.

The people that designed it obviously aren't using it to check their numbers every Friday afternoon!

how long dose it take to recive money in your bank account from a win ?

dxhound2005

I'm on a bit of a roll. Another €50 today, which makes 7 in the last 20 draws. Before that I went 26 draws with no win.

My winner today was from a reinvestment of 2 x €75 wins in the last week of December 2012.

Well I got exactly what I expected. Diddly squat. I guess I need to get accustomed to the Sorry message.

Don’t forget to familiarise yourself with the sad face too, you’ll be using it a lot
