    Is €8600 all in one batch or is it a few smaller batches and how long have you got them ??
    €200 pa is a super return that I'm sure none of the regulars here are getting
    You must be one lucky person :)

    That’s it in a nutshell, some people are just lucky, I am neither unlucky of lucky, if you know what I mean. But I have a friend, who, if he fell into a river would climb out dry. Needless to say he’s lucky in PB’s too, regular winner, including the odd €1,000. And no, he doesn’t have thousands invested, just lucky.

    I have more then double that invested and have won nothing since Oct 2017. You should be happy with that, beating a savings account with 0.5% interest rate.

    €50 today - from a batch of 7600+ bonds (that's the number, not the value) - won €50 in January 2018 and €50 today!:). This batch won €400 in 2016 and €400 in 2017. €100 euro by the skin of its teeth in 2018.

    Happy Christmas and a Prosperous and Successful (in all sorts of ways) last draw of the Year and 2019!

    Nothing for me today, won a total of €100 euro in 2018, won far more in 2016 and 2017, 3 batches 30k 20k and 10k, the 10k was purchased in September 2017 and hasn't won anything.
    A very nice Christmas present today for a Dublin punter, winning the top prize of €50,000.

    Next week the million is up for grabs, I live in hope, I dream big, and next Friday the million, I wish, happy Christmas to all.

    Untrue, every cent you own goes into your estate, including PBs.

    The crappy new website told me I had won again this week - of course I hadn't - it was still announcing the win I had last week. Boo!:(

    A very disappointing year, just over €60k in bonds and absolutely not a red cent this year.

    You win anything last year or is this the first year you've had the 60k in prize bonds? I'm considering putting a five figure sum in as it's surely better than the couple of euro I earn in interest on it in a savings account. :o

    We're all in this psy-op together.🤨

    Wow that's unbelievable , myself I won 3x50 on 130k+ which is just ridiculous really and a cautionary message for anyone thinking of investment take it from me it'll just break your heart maybe green shield stamps would be a better option!!!
