The Central Directorate of National Savings (CDNS) has announced the 100th draw for Rs 200 denomination prize bonds, held on Monday in Sialkot. This milestone event marks yet another successful effort by the CDNS to promote savings culture among Pakistanis through its prize bond schemes.
The prize bond draw offered participants an opportunity to win substantial cash rewards. According to the official announcement:
• The First Prize, worth Rs 750,000, was awarded to the lucky bond number 746219.
• The Second Prize, valued at Rs 250,000 each, was granted to five fortunate winners with the following bond numbers: 108108, 310560, 723668, 892569, and 937806.
Prize bonds remain one of the most popular saving instruments in Pakistan, catering to individuals across all socioeconomic backgrounds. The Rs 200 prize bond, in particular, is among the most affordable and widely circulated denominations. These bonds allow participants to invest small amounts of money while providing a chance to win large prizes through regular draws.
The 100th draw is a significant achievement for the CDNS, reflecting the organization’s longstanding commitment to fostering a culture of financial responsibility and savings among the population. Over the years, prize bond schemes have encouraged financial inclusion and offered a reliable saving mechanism for millions of Pakistanis.
To ensure transparency, the prize bond draws are conducted in the presence of a committee comprising representatives from various stakeholders, including the Ministry of Finance, CDNS officials, and independent observers. This rigorous process helps maintain public confidence in the fairness and credibility of the system.
Participants can check their prize bond numbers against the winning results online or through authorized CDNS outlets nationwide. Winners of the draw are advised to claim their prizes within the stipulated period by presenting their original prize bonds and identification documents at designated CDNS offices.
As the CDNS continues its mission to promote savings and financial stability, the prize bond draws remain a cornerstone of its efforts to empower individuals and encourage economic growth through small-scale investments. The next draw is expected to attract even greater participation, further cementing the popularity of this scheme.
