€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

Nothing again.

I reinvested 2 five figure batches in June. The smaller of the two won €50 today:) , giving me €200 on it since 7th September.
Edited to correct: The larger of the two (which is three times bigger than the smaller batch) has won 1 X €50 - last July .... all the other batches are still floundering in the bottom of the barrel....

my overall result for 2017 was .59%

from Aug 17 to July 18- .36%

Jan 2018 - Oct 2018 - .25%

You've had better luck than me anyway Bubblypop - I've had one €50 on 100k since last September, that win was a couple of weeks ago 😭

Just fill out form and send them back in but as you'll see from my post, the bigger batch is still MIA or maybe M (and out of) Action

€50 for me today, last win August 10th, grand total of €100 this year.
The win on August 10th was on 30k batch, the win today was on 20k batch.
10k batch purchased in September 2017 has never won anything, that series is AIP

very unlucky series.

What's been your total winnings to date

15x50 = 750
On 100,000 Euro since October 2016
So basically 2 years!
If I knew in the beginning I would be out of the country this long, I would probably have seen if there was anything better.

That, bubblypop, is an incredibly bad return - hope your luck changes very soon.

€65k since July 2017 with wins to date
€150

(Well €50k from July, €15k in a few weeks later)

Like lots, I’m now thinking how better off I’d have been with other NTMA options.

The majority of the €€€€ will be there up to the two year mark at least

Andrew Flexing

€50 this week

Lot of people on here are overdue a win...Hope everyone's luck changes soon

Yeah I've won about a thousand since October 16 myself on 130k+ but the rate change last year screwed everything up(50 Euro this year only)so its even hardly worth checking anymore !!!!

Markets starting to crash? Might be time to cash in these useless bonds and get ready for some real investing...
