A lucky Waterford winner has scooped €500,000 in this month's Prize Bond Star Prize Draw.
The winning Prize Bond number is JY677374 and the lucky bond was purchased in 2009.
Prize Bonds are a State Savings product which, instead of paying interest, offers bond holders 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.
In addition to a €500,000 prize awarded on the last weekly draw of every calendar month, 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 Bond holders can check draw results online at www.StateSavings.ie.
The main winning numbers are also available in most Post Offices.
