How they work
Prize bonds are purchased in units of €6.25. There is a minimum purchase of 4 units costing €25.
Each individual prize bond is entered into a weekly draw with prizes ranging from €75 up to the top weekly star prize of €20,000.
In the first draw of each month, other than December, the top weekly star prize is replaced by the monthly jackpot prize of €500,000. In December, the Christmas jackpot prize of €1,000,000 is awarded.
All prizewinners are contacted following each draw. In order to maintain confidentiality and security, correspondence is sent in plain envelopes. For prizes worth €250 or less a cheque is enclosed. For any prizes worth more than €250 a form is enclosed for the investor to claim their prize.
