Rs25,000 Premium Prize Bond Draw to Be Held on March 10

The next draw of the Rs 25,000 Premium Prize Bond is scheduled to take place on March 10, giving investors another chance to win big cash prizes while benefiting from regular dividend payments.

Issued under the supervision of the State Bank of Pakistan and the Government of Pakistan, Premium Prize Bonds provide investors with returns on their investments every six months.

The dividend amount is determined as per the rate announced by the government and is calculated either from the date of bond issuance or from the date of the most recent dividend payment.

In addition to dividend payments, Premium Bond holders are also eligible for quarterly prize draws that offer substantial cash prizes. To be eligible for these draws, investors must hold the bonds for the required period.

For the first draw of 2026, which will be held on March 10, the prize structure includes several attractive prizes.

Two winners will be awarded a first prize of Rs 30 million, while five investors will be awarded a second prize of Rs 10 million. Additionally, 700 winners will receive a third prize of Rs 300,000.

Another feature of premium prize bonds is that the prize payout is automatic. Investors do not need to file a claim to receive their winnings.

If the bond number is selected in the draw, the prize money is transferred directly to the bank account that was registered at the time of purchasing the bond.

Financial analysts note that premium prize bonds remain an attractive option for many investors in Pakistan as they combine fixed dividend payments with the opportunity to win big prizes.

With the upcoming draw approaching, investors are eagerly waiting to see if their bond numbers will be among the lucky ones.
