€25k invested in prize bonds

cold case

If my figures are correct it would seem the PB fund is now about 1,872,228,571 Euro as of the end of Oct 13,
Which means at the moment there are about 299,556,571 bonds.

During Oct I reckon the PB fund grew by 20,800,000 Euro,
Which means there will be an extra 3,328,000 bonds in each draw during Nov compared to Oct.

I would estimate that on average there was a net growth in the PB fund of 945,454 Euro for each working day during Oct.
An increase of 68,883 Euro per day over September

How come the prizes are reduced so? :mad:

Nothing today
Nothing last week
Nothing last month
Nothing since March, when I bought

I'm noticing a pattern :-)

Nada here either but I've only about €1000, €500 of which were bought during 2013. The other €500 is 10 years old now and won 2 x €75 about 5 years ago, as far as I can remember.

Planning to buy a few hundred in my husband and our children's names for Christmas and just forgetting about them, hopefully we might get lucky at some stage.

Nothing on 5k is disappointing chef, hopefully a win is just around the corner :-)

As of today I will be reducing my Prize Bond fund by 40% so I expect my winnings ratio to fall as well

No, Mr. Chef, don't give up - you should know better than the rest of us that your goose is not cooked yet!

Unfortunately in the past six months there are no Winning Numbers that match the Prize Bonds you entered but you may have winnings that go back before that date please check here https://www.prizebonds.ie/online/register/numbers__unclaimed.asp

Don't forget that there is a draw every Friday - the next draw could be your lucky one.

BusyMum12

Nothing here either.
I love the excitement of checking every Friday though
