- When is the prize bond draw held?
- Four times a year: on 31 January, 30 April, 31 July and 31 October. If that day is a holiday, the draw moves to the next working day.
- Do I need the series letters to check my bond?
- No. Bangladesh Bank uses a single common draw, so the same 46 winning numbers apply to every series (কক, কখ and so on). Only the 7-digit number matters.
- How much is each prize?
- Each draw has 46 prizes per series: 1st ৳6,00,000, 2nd ৳3,25,000, two 3rd prizes of ৳1,00,000, two 4th prizes of ৳50,000 and forty 5th prizes of ৳10,000. 20% tax is deducted at source.
- How long can I claim a prize?
- Within 2 years of the draw date. That's why this site checks the last 8 draws.
- Which bonds take part in a draw?
- Every bond sold at least 2 months before the draw date. A bond keeps taking part in every draw after that.
- Is it safe to enter my bond numbers here?
- Yes. Your numbers are checked inside your own browser and saved only on your device; Clear removes them. They are never sent to any server, so this site has no list of who holds which bond, and nobody can get one from us. The code is public on GitHub for anyone to check.
- Someone called offering to buy my winning bond. What should I do?
- Say no, and don't hand over the bond. Claim the prize yourself at Bangladesh Bank or where you bought the bond; it's your money. This site never contacts anyone and doesn't know who won, so such calls don't come from us.
