Bangladesh Bank 100 Taka Prize Bond Draw Result: July 31, 2025

On July 31, 2025, Bangladesh Bank announced the results of the 120th Prize Bond Draw for the 100 Taka Prize Bonds, a highly anticipated event for bondholders across the country. This quarterly lottery, conducted at the Dhaka Divisional Commissioner Conference Room, offers participants a chance to win substantial cash prizes through a government-backed, risk-free savings scheme. The draw, held at 10:00 AM, attracted thousands of bondholders eager to check their numbers against the winning list.

Overview of the Prize Bond Scheme

Introduced in 1972 by the National Savings Division, the Bangladesh Prize Bond is designed to encourage savings among citizens. Priced at Tk. 100 each, these bonds are accessible to all Bangladeshi citizens, including children, and can be purchased from any branch of Bangladesh Bank, commercial banks, or post offices. Unlike traditional savings instruments, prize bonds do not accrue interest but instead offer bondholders the opportunity to win significant cash prizes through quarterly draws held on January 31, April 30, July 30 or 31, and October 31.

Each bond must be held for at least 60 days before becoming eligible for a draw, and winners have up to two years to claim their prizes. A 20% tax is deducted from the prize money as per Bangladesh tax law. With approximately 78 to 82 series in circulation, each containing 1,000,000 bonds, the system ensures a broad range of winners, with over 3,500 prizes distributed per draw, totaling more than Tk. 12 crore in payouts.

Prize Structure

The 120th Prize Bond Draw follows the standard prize structure, with each of the active series offering the following rewards:

• 1st Prize: Tk. 6,00,000 (1 prize per series)
• 2nd Prize: Tk. 3,25,000 (1 prize per series)
• 3rd Prize: Tk. 1,00,000 (2 prizes per series)
• 4th Prize: Tk. 50,000 (2 prizes per series)
• 5th Prize: Tk. 10,000 (40 prizes per series)

With 46 winners per series and multiple series in play, the draw offers numerous opportunities for bondholders to win.
