50 won yday!

100 won so far for 2022 :)

What is the rationale behind saying you won x amount without saying how much prize bonds you have in total ?

Agent Smyth · 27-03-2022 1:38pm

Personally I think we'd all like to know the rational behind your chosen name?? 😉

Replace face with tease, and you have my rationale.

Had my third win of the year last week. Updated table set out below.

dxhound2005 · 01-04-2022 2:09pm

Nothing for me today. The number of €50 prizes in the April draws is 4,488 up from 4,448 in March.

The newest bond to win on 04 March was AZO 409052, newest 01 April AZW 288139, sales of around €49 million.

pbtracker · 01-04-2022 6:53pm

Have not checked in here in a long time but got the email today to say I'd won so prompted me to come back and update. Nothing major to report just a €50 win, the first of the year! Last year ended on €250 which I guess is about expected - wish I could bag something a little bigger than the €50 once in a while :-)

How big is the big batch.

€50euro today on my 20k batch, last win 18th February on my 30k batch, total wins €100euro in 2022

I see the Greek bond holder was very lucky today with 2 wins €1,000euro and €50euro on top of wining €50,000 in 2021, they must have an enormous gigantic batch, I've 4 batchs 10k 20k 30k 40k, total 100k split into 4 batches.

dxhound2005 · 08-04-2022 4:13pm

Nothing for me today.

I have been keeping a note of the Greek bonds winnings since 12 November 2021. I posted their performance between 06 May and 05 November 2021, on 06 November. I will update that to a 52 week report after the draw on 06 May 2022.

Their €1,000 winner today ZH775160 is just a few hundred away from their €50 on 16 March 2022, ZH775637. Their €50,000 winner on 28 May 2021 was ZH784006, and ZH774155, ZH774018, ZH778808, ZH778016 and ZH778415 also won in the last 11 months. So you don't have to have a massive amount if you have the luck.

The next draw in on Thursday 14 April.

Nothing for me today. Cavan got 52 prizes, well above their usual. And more than Louth with 49 which I never saw before. Previous 4 draws for Cavan 20,20, 33, 29.

dxhound2005 · 14-04-2022 2:51pm

The 14 April 2022 draw is the first with Bxx winners. Newest bond to win 08 April AZY 426538, newest 14 April BAA 385033.

The AAA series started July 2015, so with the completion of the AZZ that is 676 million bonds issued in just under seven years. Before that, it took from March 1957 to July 2015 to issue the previous 703 million bonds. The first draw took place in September 1957, six months after the first bonds went on sale. For that draw 1,087,633 Bonds had been sold in six months. It took up until around 1984 for the first 27 million bonds to issue, with the completion of the Z series and the start of the AA series.

Draws continued twice yearly every March and September until 1993, when they went weekly, and a version of the current electronic random number draw was introduced.

The first bond denominated at €6.25 Euro was DL000001, so 116 million bonds were issued at IR£5, now worth €6.35. The draws give those bonds a weighting to reflect their value. Up to the end of the AZZ series the total value of bonds issued is €8,630,350,000. Roughly half of those have been cashed in going by the value of the fund at year end 2020, €4.1 billion.

Great information there, what was the prize structure back in them early days of the late 1950s, I remember the top monthly prize in the 1980s £100,000, then a £50,000, £25,000 and two £10,000, a number of £5,000 £1,000 and so on down to £250, then the weekly draw top prize £15,000 rising to £20,000 and now the present €50,000.

Nothing for me this week, last win 8th April €50euro.

dxhound2005 · 14-04-2022 10:00pm

We had a bit of discussion about it back on Page 209 . Based on that I need amend something. It seems that the draws went monthly in 1971, then weekly in 1993.
