€25k invested in prize bonds

€50 for me today, last win Friday 22nd January, €100euro so far in 2021.
Today's €50 is my first win on my 40k batch which I purchased in October 2020, January's win was on my 30k batch purchased in June 2016.
A 10k batch purchased in September 2017 is not a lucky batch only 1 €50 win on that.
Total holding 4 batches, 10k 20k 30k 40k =100k and 100 vintage bonds from the 1980s.

What’s rare is wonderful.
The drinks are on me after my 50 euro win today.

Nothing for me again. October’s win a long way away now.

good helpful info there,and not keeping your investment a secret either.thanks

You keep claiming that you are getting a very poor return, but you never give us the figures. I asked you to provide the information a couple of months back.

If you can, go back to 01 August 2017 and see how much you won up to 31 January 2021. With average luck you would have made an annualised return of approximately 0.35%. Obviously take into account any changes to your holding during the period.

Deepest apologies for offending you Hibernicis - I have deleted the updated information

sorry can't go back that far as i have so many withdrawals in the last few years as i bought a site and built a house.the best i can do is up to December 2019 when i had 131k invested,cashed in 50k jan 2020,cashed in 15k march 2020/won 50 euros February 2020 and 50 euros july 2020(last win).66k currently so.so maybe you can put a percentage on that?ps you can castigate me all you want it's water off a duck's back but i'm very suspicious of some of the figures on here(and i'm not the only one) especially the consistent wins and lack of a dry spell on small amounts.sure keep the faith and the stats coming and we'll agree to disagree.

Seeing as you asked, here are results today which disprove your conspiracy theory.

Your 66K is performing no worse than Hibernicis with no wins from €252K in the last 15 draws. And the thread is full of similar tales of woe, including my own 26 week dry spell. You are the only one going on with this nonsense.

i said it once and others agreed with me ,you're the one who keeps bringing it up.what's the thing with multiple wins within a small range?-that's not what i said.you also insinuated that i begrudge people their winnings,you couldn't be further from the truth.good night now.

How do you go about getting the SSN number? I need this to buy prize bonds online correct?

I bought some bonds in the post office recently and thought they would send out the SSN after that

I've always used my PPS number even since I was sent an SSCN and have never had any issues.

Anyone get their access pin yet and see what this new account profile has to offer?

No but I got an email yesterday to say my pin was being posted out to me. Nearly there!!

First I've heard of this,a updated site would be nice.

I posted about it here. There doesn't appear to have been any publicity. Maybe they are going for a soft launch to allow early adopters to do all their testing and debugging for them.

In addition to being quite convoluted, the registration process appears slow and erratic. I initiated three registrations at the same time almost two weeks ago. So far, one received the authorisation letter mid last week, returned it but no mention of the PIN being despatched so far, the second one received the authorisation letter yesterday (a week later) and nothing has been received for the third one.

Had another win last week, so I've updated my table. I've also changed the data from daily to weekly (not quite sure why) but I'm happy to change it back if people prefer.
