Lucky Dubliner scoops €500k with Prize Bond bought over a decade ago

A lucky Dubliner has scooped a massive €500,000 thanks to a Prize Bond bought over a decade ago.

The lucky Prize Bond, held in county Dublin, was purchased in 2013 and wins the monthly Star Prize of €500,000.

In a lucky week for Dubs, the top weekly prize of €50,000 was also won by a Prize bond holder in Dublin. The bond was purchased in 2018.

There were over 9,318 prizes awarded in this week’s Prize Bond Draw, amounting to over €1,275,700 in prize money.

A €500,000 prize is awarded on the last weekly draw of every calendar month, while there are weekly draws where the top prize is €50,000.

Other cash prizes awarded each week include 20 of €1,000 and 20 of €500.

Prize Bonds are a State Savings product which, instead of paying interest, offers bondholders the chance to win cash prizes every week.

All winnings are tax-free, and Prize Bonds can be cashed in at any time after the minimum holding period of three months.

Prize Bonds can be purchased by Direct Debit, online at StateSavings.ie, by telephone at 0818 20 50 60 or at your local Post Office.

Prize Bond holders can check draw results online. The main winning numbers are also available in most Post Offices.
