@FedUpWithBriiiiick yes, your first draw will be December. It should state somewhere when you bought them.

Thanks 101, just found it after digging around on the app 👍

Nearly time for the November draw. Fingers crossed 🤞

I've added an odd amount to my holding. This will make it easier to pick out on the high value list when if I win. My savings goal is full holding, so I will lose this odd amount at that point I guess.

Eaumyword · 29/10/2021 14:54

I'm at that stage of the month when I'm dreaming about winning and what I'd do! Grin

WhatsWrongWithMyUsername · 29/10/2021 14:54

Me too!

Same here as in odd amount so can spot easily

£50k would be amazing. Can’t even imagine having that about

I wonder when Agent million shows his/her face when the first of the month is on a Monday?

They apparently tell the two million £ winners on the last day of the month, so will that be Sunday, or the last working day of the month, ie today?

Eaumyword · 29/10/2021 18:31

Well nobody's been round to mine yet, so...Grin
I'm assuming they'd come on Sunday?

SlugRose · 29/10/2021 18:34

Do they actually turn up? What if I'm not in?

RockaLock · 29/10/2021 19:18

Well, I'm hoping they come around on the last actual day of the month, seeing as no one's showed up here today!

Dyrne · 30/10/2021 09:08

Yes I wonder about the logistics of the Agent Million visit. I’ve gone away for the weekend - do they just keep trying or would they eventually try another method? (Can’t remember if we provide a phone number when we set them up?)

Roseyleaf · 30/10/2021 09:22

I would imagine they would call or text before arriving at your door. Do they expect us to believe they turn up unannounced?
Half of mumsnet don't answer the door to unexpected visitors Grin

h0rsewithn0name · 30/10/2021 09:25

As long as they don't knock, then go to the next number on the list if I'm not in.

WhatsWrongWithMyUsername · 30/10/2021 09:26

If you only worked one day a month I don’t think you could object to working Sunday, so I’m assuming they’ll be round tomorrow.

LizziesTwin · 30/10/2021 09:28

I am going to get a new fridge when I get a big enough win, £25 here and there will take forever.

SlugRose · 30/10/2021 09:55

Imagine if they just leave a "sorry you were out" card

BarbaraofSeville · 30/10/2021 11:46

And your cheque for £1M your wheelie bin or with a neighbour a la My Hermes.
SwedishEdith · 30/10/2021 15:24

If I buy some today, will that be in time for Dec draw or am I too late for that?

SlugRose · 30/10/2021 15:41

And your cheque for £1M your wheelie bin or with a neighbour a la My Hermes hahaha oh nooo

Eaumyword · 30/10/2021 16:03

@SwedishEdith

I think so, yes, so you could buy today or tomorrow to qualify for Dec draw. Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong, but I think we naively bought on 4th of the month and missed a month due to that (#rookie error!)
SwedishEdith · 30/10/2021 17:06

Thanks @Eaumyword. I was wondering if the weekend meant I was too late. But, I suppose it makes no difference to now anyway.

TulipsTwoLips · 30/10/2021 18:19

Up to about 13,000 now. Fingers crossed for everyone 🤞🏻

KeyboardWorriers · 31/10/2021 08:58

I've put some money I inherited into premium bonds. Around £10k. I think I bought in July and have won £25 so far...

RockaLock · 31/10/2021 09:03

Dilemma: the DC decided they were too old to carve pumpkins this year, so I thought maybe we would just ignore the whole trick or treating thing and not answer the door this evening.

But now I realise that a knock on the door could be Agent Millionaire!

I'm going to have to go and buy some sweets, aren't I!Grin
