Prize Bond
A Prize Bond is a lottery bond, a non-interest bearing security issued on behalf of the Irish Minister for Finance by the ''Prize Bond Company Limited''. Funds raised are used to offset government borrowing and are refundable to the bond owner on demand. Interest is returned to bond owners via prizes which are distributed by means of random selection of bonds. Prize Bonds are also offered in Pakistan,〔 http://savings.gov.pk/prize_bonds.asp 〕 by the Ministry of Finance, and in the UK, under the name Premium Bonds.
==Background==
The 1956 Finance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act〔See the (Finance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1956 (Part V) )〕 is the primary legislation under which the bonds are authorised; the similar concept of Premium Bonds were introduced in the United Kingdom at the same time. Bonds were first sold in March 1957, with the first draw held in September of that year. Originally the Bank of Ireland, as the government's banker, was the operator of the scheme. When the scheme commenced, the biannual draws were in September and March where by means of six drums the winning serial number was drawn randomly; in 1972 the serial number was increased from six to seven digits for bonds issued after that time. In 1993 regulation was made for the conduct of the draws on a weekly basis using a computer-driven random number generator to determine winning numbers.
