    2 x €75 - one of those is just 8 bonds away from an April €75!

    I don't understand why people choose prize bonds. You'd be so much better off with nearly any other investment vehicle. If that money was sitting in a high interest account (4%), you would have made 1K over the last 12 months.

    Since this thread started, 25K in Bitcoin would be worth €50M. Even something "boring" like the S&P 500, it would be worth 106K.

    “I don't understand why people choose prize bonds.”

    Generally speaking it’s because ”people” understand their financial needs far better than you do.

    €75 for me today

    Nothing for me today.

    July count, the same 10 million bonds BGK to BGT in each of the 4 draws. Not counting €1K won by BGP on 5th and 19th, and €500 by BGL on 12th and BGR 26th.

    Friday 05. 123 prizes. Highest BGR 18. Lowest BGN 7.

    Friday 12. 127. BGN 18. BGL 9

    Friday 19 127. BGK 18. BGT 7.

    Friday 26. 138. BGT 18. BGM 10.

    Highest overall BGS 61 (15,14,15,17). Lowest BGP 45 (9,11,13,12).

    40 million bonds won 515 prizes, average per million 12.875. x 52 x €75 = €50,212.50. Divided by 62.5 to get what €100K would win in a year with the same luck = €803.40. Nearest to 11 x €75.
