New thread for when old one is full and for October - exciting time as lots more prizes for October - less £25 ones but many more £50

Friday 30th is last working day of the month so maybe one of us will get THAT VISIT - saying won a million - blondes faints

wouldn’t it be lovely if we all won something even £50 in October

No, the results are released on the 1st of the month via a high winners list at midnight. By the time the list is produced, the million pound and other high value winners have already been notified @TheGoodEnoughWife
The draw is the last working day!

TheGoodEnoughWife · 29/09/2022 06:44

Then does that mean those extra prizes start from next month? If last day of month then this draw is September? Confused now lol.

I didn't win anything last month but usually do so hopefully will this month whenever the draw is!

SunnySusan83 · 29/09/2022 06:48

@TheGoodEnoughWife
No, the draw is the last working day but it's the draw for October, it's announced on 1st October, but the big winners are already notified, that's all.

If the prizes are due to take place 'from Octobers draw' (sorry I don't know when the prizes start?) then it should be this draw.

Essentially you still think of it as Octobers draw as the vast majority of us don't find out until at least then (a day or two later via the app). It's only the lucky few that will hear earlier.

Thanks for the new thread. Good luck for the October draw. 😀

That's great - thank you. I do have to pop out on Friday but someone will be in lol

Hearthnhome · 29/09/2022 06:55

Last month I did some digging about Agent Millions. Apparently when they come they will only discuss with the bond holder and only when they are alone.

So whenever I am out during the special days I always hope for a call from adult dd or dp saying ‘someone came to the door for you but wouldn’t say who they were’ 😂😂😂

Blondeshavemorefun · 29/09/2022 06:55

So if that is true first working day means Monday oct 3rd winner get told

so I can go out Sunday now 💕😂

thi might miss them Monday doing school pick up

I’d love to win 1p. Never won a thing in over 50 years.
I even bought some more to convert my old numbers to up to date ones.

Blondeshavemorefun · 29/09/2022 06:59

@KangarooKenny 1p no. £25 yes

How much do you have in your holding?

Also changing the bonds to new numbers doesn't change the odds of winning. Every bond has the same chance.

lightlypoached · 29/09/2022 07:13

Ooh that's exciting.

However I feel in my bones that it means I won't get a £25 win this month as the odds are worse. Bugger.

So in summary did we settle on agent millions coming on Friday, Sunday or Monday? I have plans so might need to rearrange stuff so I can be in, waiting 😂😂😂😂 <starts tapping fingers impatiently on the table>

SpringCalling · 29/09/2022 07:14

wow this thread is so informative! realise i've been neglecting my bonds

I personally think agent millions is coming Friday...at the latest. NS&I have confirmed the draw takes places 'a few days' from the end of the month! Exciting!!

SunshineLollipopsAndRainbows · 29/09/2022 07:27

I have £100 worth which DF gave me years ago. Won £25 once. I had a letter recently, asking me to update my details ( never thought to do that when we moved). Now hoping there might be an unclaimed prize!

Here's hoping you have a lovely surprise waiting for you.

Lostinabba · 29/09/2022 07:31

We had an email too recently asking us to update our details Was hoping agent Millions had gone to the wrong house!

FAQs · 29/09/2022 07:44

The draw is today, security checks are done over today/tomorrow. The millionaire results are released Monday however the millionaire winners are visited, usually in person, including overseas if possible, the day before the first working day, therefore this Sunday afternoon/early evening. 😎

FAQs · 29/09/2022 07:50

👍 revealed (to the public) on Monday including high value, and millionaire winners visited on the Sunday. They have to be informed if possible, before results are released. Imagine looking up the numbers and realising it’s you and not knowing what to do. Full results are all results.

Letters are sent to the other high value winners to confirm details, security checks and confirm how the money is to be paid.

Am I the only one who is sat here wondering if FAQs is Agent Million? 😂

ScarlettSunset · 29/09/2022 08:04

I'm feeling hopeful now with the increased prize rate. Not won anything for the last couple of draws, though I don't have anywhere near full holdings. Just added a bit though, that should go into the November draw too.
Good luck everyone!

Dyrne · 29/09/2022 08:11

Being Agent Million must be such a lovely job - imagine being able to bring that much joy to people every single month!

I’m away on Friday but here on Sunday so fingers crossed Agent Millions is happy to work weekends!!
