My son had $50 invested and so far on average he wins $20 a year so it's still better than a savings account at a normal bank.]]> Sat, 27 Nov 2010 17:09:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36836&PID=1209113&title=bonus-bonds#1209113 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36836&PID=1208493&title=bonus-bonds#1208493 Author: fattykat

We've put all the money from our coin jar in bonus bonds for DD (since having her) She's probably got about $500 and has won two lots of $20

A workmates sister won $1,000,000 prize a few years ago]]> Fri, 26 Nov 2010 14:05:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36836&PID=1208493&title=bonus-bonds#1208493 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36836&PID=1208042&title=bonus-bonds#1208042 Author: Jaune

I've won a few times, nothing major, just $20-$30 each time...I don't have heaps, just a couple of hundred dollars or so. My Mum buys them for me, my sister and our partners for our birthdays...we don't really 'need' anything and it's the kind of gift that potentially keeps on giving!]]> Thu, 25 Nov 2010 21:39:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36836&PID=1208042&title=bonus-bonds#1208042 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36836&PID=1207990&title=bonus-bonds#1207990 Author: tictacjunkie

My mil said she was buying some for the kids for their birthdays etc, she's never said anything about them winning anything though?! Her mum used to win a couple of times a year, nothing major though. ]]> Thu, 25 Nov 2010 20:47:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36836&PID=1207990&title=bonus-bonds#1207990 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36836&PID=1207973&title=bonus-bonds#1207973 Author: peachy

I have had some since I was a kid and have won $30 here and there, but nothing major.

My Mum has set up a great thing for DD though, she has invested some money in Pumpkin Patch shares in DD's name instead of buying bonus bonds. Something a little different. I thought it was quite a cool idea!]]> Thu, 25 Nov 2010 20:31:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36836&PID=1207973&title=bonus-bonds#1207973 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36836&PID=1207957&title=bonus-bonds#1207957 Author: HuMum

My MIL does them for the kids for birthday and xmas, they get a cheap toy or lollies to open on the day.

I think its a good idea as I don't have any more room in my house for toys!]]> Thu, 25 Nov 2010 20:16:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36836&PID=1207957&title=bonus-bonds#1207957 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36836&PID=1207829&title=bonus-bonds#1207829 Author: heaf3

MIL won $500 off hers earlier in the year, and DH had one that MIL bought him when he was little - a $2 one (cos you could buy them like that then) and he won $20 on it. I havent got any but keep meaning to get some. ]]> Thu, 25 Nov 2010 16:26:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36836&PID=1207829&title=bonus-bonds#1207829 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36836&PID=1207815&title=bonus-bonds#1207815 Author: jazzy

My mum and dad win all the time (not large amounts), they draw all of theirs out though and then put it back in. Dad thinks they win more that way...he obviously has way too much time on his hands!]]> Wed, 24 Nov 2010 22:56:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36836&PID=1207400&title=bonus-bonds#1207400 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36836&PID=1207341&title=bonus-bonds#1207341 Author: jazzy

I have won 4 lots of $20 last yr. We do it online now.

My friends dad & uncle put money they inherited & won big one. Her dad won $20k on $70k he had & her uncle won 2 lots of $50k on about 70k invested.

I think they are a great way of saving ]]> Wed, 24 Nov 2010 21:34:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36836&PID=1207341&title=bonus-bonds#1207341 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36836&PID=1207322&title=bonus-bonds#1207322 Author: freckle

I think my mom won something last year....with the bonus bond her brother had given her for an xmas present when they were kids. Apparently they don't expire. Other then that, no.
