    Friday again. So to try a different approach just before the results are out I will confidently assert that I haven't won anything today.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    I’ll match your pessimism with my optimism and I’m going to win the top prize.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,224 ✭✭✭✭The Continental Op


    I think we have all the options covered. Well all the non winning ones anyway ;-)

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    My 20 punt one is still around and in the last 35 years I've a grand total of …………… zilch.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,224 ✭✭✭✭The Continental Op


    Thats like having a bit over 10k in one draw. Just look back and see how much good that would do you :-)

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    €75 for me this week.

    The monthly €500k prize is gone to Cork and the weekly €50k to Carlow. The €500k winning bond, BFG079275, was purchased in Nov 2023 and the €50k winner GK895388 was purchased in Jan 2006.

    Dublin got 5no. of the 20no. €1,000 prizes and Cork got 5no. leaving 10no. for everybody else. The UK got 1no.  

    New bonds issued today commence BKS52.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 355 ✭✭carrickbawn


    Nothing here last week or this week.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68 ✭✭Gettin Auld


    I have of course won nothing, despite my optimism.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 24,768 ✭✭✭✭dxhound2005


    April count, the same 9 million bonds BKC to BKK in each of the 4 draws. Not counting €500 won by BKE on the 10th.

    Thursday 02. 114 wins. Highest BKC & BKJ 16 each. Lowest BKF 10.

    Friday 10. 115. BKF 18. BKE 6.

    Friday 17. 117. BKE 20. BKF 9.

    Friday 24. 116. BKC 23. BKJ 7.

    Highest overall BCC 64 (16,13,12,23). Lowest BKH 40 (12,9,11,8).

    Starting BKC. 64,56,51,47,54,40,52,43,55. Average 51.33.

    36 million bonds won 462 prizes, average per million €12.83. x 52 x €75 = €50,050. Divided by 62.5 to get what €100K would win in a year with the same luck = €800.80. Nearest to 11 x €75.

    Stuck €50k with Bankinter.ie there today for six months @2.6%(1.75% nett) AER with 25% access if that floats anyone's boat.

    Unfortunately the outcome was as predicted.

    Wake me up when it's all over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,203 ✭✭✭tuisginideach

    Some recent Dáil questions about Prize Bonds. May have been prompted by the recent revelations about Premium Bonds? Prize Bonds has a Bereavement Support Team, which I never heard of before.
