Friday the 13th proves lucky to tune of €50k for Clare prize bond holder

Friday the 13th has certainly not been an unlucky date for one prize bond holder in Clare who is now €50,000 richer.

This week’s Prize Bond Star Prize has gone to a Prize Bond holder in the Banner county.

The lucky bond was purchased in 2017 and there were over 4,733 prizes awarded in this week’s draw, amounting to over €300,600.

In addition to a €250,000 prize awarded on the last weekly draw of March, June, September and December, there are weekly draws where the top prize is €50,000. Other cash prizes awarded each week include 10 of €1,000 and 10 of €500.
