Irish Prize Bonds
Prize Bond Draw Dates: When Is the Next Draw?
Irish Prize Bond draws are held every week. On the last draw of each calendar month, an additional €500,000 jackpot prize is added on top of the usual weekly prize tiers — every other draw that month is a regular draw with a €100,000 top prize.
Next Draw
The next Prize Bond draw is Friday, 23 October 2026 — a regular draw, with a €100,000 top prize. Confirmed straight from statesavings.ie's own published schedule.
How the schedule works
- Weekly draws: every Friday, prizes range from €100 up to €100,000.
- Monthly jackpot: the last Friday of each month adds a €500,000 top prize — 12 jackpot draws a year, one per calendar month.
- Prize fund: recalculated at the end of every month based on net Prize Bond sales, which is why the number of smaller prizes varies slightly month to month.
When a draw date moves
Draws almost always fall on a Friday, but a bank holiday around Christmas, New Year, or Easter (Good Friday itself is a bank holiday) can shift a specific week's draw by a day or two either way. We don't guess these shifts in advance — the Latest Results and archive only ever show a draw once statesavings.ie has actually confirmed it, so the date here is never a calendar assumption.
Why "pending" instead of a result
A draw shown as pending simply means it's been held but the full results aren't published yet — usually resolved within a day. See How We Source and Verify Our Draw Results for exactly how results get from statesavings.ie onto this site.
