£75 on max holdings for me, nothing for DP or DS (not max holdings). First month since I bought them that I forgot to check!

If you contact NS&I they can send you a form to track missing accounts if your mum can't turn up the paperwork.
At one stage I had 2 holdings which they merged for me.

Thank you. I will do that of she can't find it.

I really appreciate the advice.

15 days until winners are announced 🤞

ElizabethTudor · 17/09/2021 18:43

Great - I could do with a million 🤣

DontGiveAFlyingFig · 17/09/2021 19:11

I think the millionaires get a special call earlier, not that I know personally Grin

Maybe I will this month & I'll let you know Wink

ElizabethTudor · 17/09/2021 19:22

🤞🏻🤞🏻 for the call!

IfYouCantSeeMyMirrors · 17/09/2021 19:26

Apologies if this has already been asked, but I'm curious. If you win a small amount (£25, £50 - all I've ever won), you get a nice email with a heading like 'Hooray! You won!'. But do you get the same email heading if you win, say £5,000? £100,000? Or is it more exciting?

Basically, how excited is it reasonable to be when I get one of those normal emails?!

cheesyunyin · 17/09/2021 20:22

I have £30k and four draws in now. No wins yet. I guess im heading for the big one. It should happen soon as i have identified the property i want on RightMove

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/09/2021 05:08

Once £100 but thatbwww before emails

About a year ago I won £1000 and I've just looked back through my emails and the email I got that month looks exactly the same as all those I've had when I won £25. I don't know if there's any difference for the much bigger prizes like £50k.

But those of us on here in the know don't need to wait until the emails arrive to know how much we've won because we've already:

Noted the lack of a visit from Agent Million on the last day of the previous month.

Looked on the NS&I website on the first working day of the month where the big winners (£5k+) are listed along with total holding amount and town/county.

Looked at the app on the second working day of the month where you learn about whether or not you have won a smaller prize and how much.

In my experience the emails don't arrive until after all of the above.

IfYouCantSeeMyMirrors · 18/09/2021 08:49

Right, thanks. In that case, I'll continue with my current tactic of staring hard at the email, trying to work out from the vibrations in the air around me whether it is a 'slightly lucky' or 'really lucky' email. So much more fun!

I'm not really in it for the millions. I'd be a bit freaked out by that car coming to my house.

My mums friend (the 25k win) got the same message you normally get but just had a larger amount in.

Oh nearly time again

Well a week to go 😂

So is it Thursday I can expect a knock on the door from Agent Million?

Like a pp I’ve identified my future house on rightmove. I’m also keen to invest in an electric car right now.

I’ve had £0 so far and I’m 5 months in, so they owe me.

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/09/2021 17:33

Unless they knock at mine 😂

I like to see who has won big with a small holding. Someone has won £25k on £55 of bonds bought in 1979.

You mean Oct ?

Sept is this month

RockaLock · 29/09/2021 19:39

THANK YOU Blondes - I was looking at the high value winners feeling a bit despondent at the thought of no big win again - but now I realise that I have another couple of days of feeling hopeful (before my hopes are dashed once again Grin)

Blondeshavemorefun · 29/09/2021 19:57

Yes another 2 days to wait

Sighs

£20k wouid be amazing

I’m not greedy. Don’t need a million
