me neither , also on 40k . just a thought , is there any limit to the amount of bonds
anyone can hold ? , if not then anyone with a spare million or two lying around can pile
prize bonds and sweep all the prizes ! i would like michael o'leary , j.p.mc.manus and other
multimillionaires to join this thread so they can tell us their hard luck stories about not
winning anything for a whole week !

That's what I plan to do for the three months after I win the €1m - I won't be here, of course, to log on weekly and keep you updated!

I have two separate bonds one with 10k other set of bonds is for 30k my mother also has 20k in bonds she has won 100 euro they're there about two years now! I think there is a limit of 100k euro max per person (as far as I know)

Honey,,, I have no idea where you got that from... Definitely not the case..
I don't think there is any upper limit to the amount of bonds you can have...

Website says "No Maximum limit on the number of Prize Bonds held" and totally useless fact of the day is that the UK premium bonds have a £50k limit.

My very generous godfather gave me a UK Premium Bond when I was born - nearly 60 yrs ago .... I have updated my address but not a sausage after all that time!

I dont think that JP mc Manus or Michael O Leary made their millions by leaving their money sitting in prize bonds in the hope of a big win..

You are quite correct about the UK Premium Bonds , the limit was recently upped from
£40k to £50k . i have £40k invested , winnings so far in 2015 , £450 pounds sterling ,
not a lot but better than Prize Bonds , winnings so far in 2015 , zero . on euro40k

Your bonds are in the same musty drawers in kerry as mine are ! now that Kerry have
lost the all-ireland , there will be even less chance of winning !
