The weather’s awful today, I do hope Agent Million isn’t having too much trouble getting to my house.

@RockaLock

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

I think alas we would have had that knock by now

No, no! It says afternoon or evening so there's still hope!Grin

SlugRose · 31/10/2021 16:30

I'm going to have to answer the door to all the trick or treaters just in case now

Cheeseandlobster · 31/10/2021 16:38

Waiting for my Agent Million visit too!! So a quick question. Is there only 1 Agent Million? If so perhaps it will be a late call for one person if they have to travel the length of the country in one day. Also, how do they recruit Agent Million? I can't imagine they advertise in the job centre with "Agent Million" wanted. I imagine they advertise covertly but where and how?

poolblue · 31/10/2021 16:57

I read that Agent Million is just a regular guy that works for NS&I and was chosen for his people skills. Apparently he keeps his job quiet and doesn't tell his family or friends know exactly what he does. I hope he wears a special suit decorated with £££s when he calls. I'll let you know!

poolblue · 31/10/2021 16:58

Just had a thought that perhaps he's not allowed to make home visits now due to covid and has to make contact another way?

Cheeseandlobster · 31/10/2021 16:59

Hahaha. We will have to compare notes as obviously he will be visiting us both. I hope you have the good biscuits in Biscuit

Eaumyword · 31/10/2021 17:04

Visit not forthcoming here, so sadly having to shut up shop and pretend we're not in for Halloween now Wink

Ooh found this. Very interesting Smile

poolblue · 31/10/2021 17:25

No jeans to fit in 😀 not coming to my house then!

Blondeshavemorefun · 31/10/2021 19:06

Wonder how they contact then. Email. Phone call

And tbh now life is back to as normal as we can. They should come and knock again

Interesting chat about agent million. Driving rain here, he'd better pop over for a cuppa.

recklessgran · 01/11/2021 06:28

Wow. Both this month's millionaires are from Bristol.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow and hoping for at least £25!

That's a bit selfish, come on Bristol share the love. 🤣🤣

But imagine if it was a couple with seperate premium bonds, and they both won. Grin

Someaddedsugar · 01/11/2021 06:36

There’s only one person in my area on the high winner list and they have the same holding as me - gutted it’s not me 😂

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/11/2021 06:41

Nothing big for me. Again

Let’s hope for£25

OP posts:
Eaumyword · 01/11/2021 06:45

Nothing big here either, hoping for a smattering of little winnings tomorrow now!

RockaLock · 01/11/2021 06:48

Needless to say, nothing big for me either.

Good luck everyone for a £25 or two tomorrow(!)

Polmuggle · 01/11/2021 07:01

Hi all I'm new to this - can someone explain why the prize checker is live but the results aren't drawn till tomorrow?

Eaumyword · 01/11/2021 07:06

Hi, the 2 millionaires find out the last day of the month (ie: yesterday), then the big winners (£5k and upwards) find out on a spreadsheet on the first day of the month. Then everyone else finds out the next day.

Starcaller · 01/11/2021 07:06

They do the big winners on the 1st and then the rest are available the next day. You can see the big winners on the website but the app etc. won't show the standard prizes till after midnight tonight.

Eaumyword · 01/11/2021 07:08

I mean the spreadsheet is made public on the Premium Bonds prize checker page!
I bet loads of folks are doing what I did earlier - anxiously read down the spreadsheet looking for my county and then cross matching date of purchase.
Then not finding a match Grin

It's worse when you find a match, and it's still not you. Grin
