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

Sorry if this has been asked already but, how long does it take for a prize to be paid?

I had a small prize last month and it still hasn’t t been paid into my nominated account.

thanks!

That's not right. Are you sure you haven't asked for it to be reinvested as bonds?

I wonder if Agent Milllion works one day a month, or if he or she does boring bank work for the rest of the month?

I believe they are regular NS&I employees who are also secretly agent million (most of their colleagues don't know) and I think there is a team of them. It must feel a bit like having a secret superhero life...

Summerof22 · 02/10/2022 07:27

@SavingsThreads , no, I have full holdings and I double checked and they have my account details.
I’ll send them a tweet tomorrow. They responded to me quite quickly with another doubt a while ago.
thanks!

PanicAtTheBigTesco · 02/10/2022 08:01

@ScarlettSunset yes I assume it's normal employees (well probably senior ones) and agent million changes each month based on location?

I live less than 5 mins from an NS&I office so it would make sense for agent million to visit me from there, so maybe each office has a couple of managers who are 'agent million trained'.

Good point re worrying it's a scam, you could always google the number for NS&I and call them whilst agent million was at your house to verify if? I've heard calls with lottery winners in the past where the member of staff has suggested the winner do this to reassure them it's not a scam.

PanicAtTheBigTesco · 02/10/2022 08:03

Sorry the bit about being scammed was in response to the convo further up the thread!

Every month I put £40 in a savings account for the annual car insurance. I’m thinking about switching it to pay into premium bonds. Worth it?

You can only invest in multiples of £25 so if you can afford to put £50 a month in it might be worth it, or put £25 in and the rest in a normal savings account

PupInAPram · 02/10/2022 08:36

It doesn't have to be multiples of £25. I've stuck random amounts in to make it easier to check high value winners list. It just needs to be £25 or more purchased I think?

It had to be a minimum of £25, so nothing stopping you buying £30.

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/10/2022 08:54

Def doesn’t have to be £25 £50 £75 etx

so £40 a month is fine

Around the 9th of the month. You should have received your prize by now unless you asked for any winnings to be used to purchase more premium bonds.

Summerof22 · 02/10/2022 09:45

@Parky04 False alarm!

I went into my online bank and realised they’ve paid it into my savings account that I barely use.

I have no idea why I entered those account details.

Grrrpredictivetex · 02/10/2022 10:13

When is the draw please?

Tuesday

Benjispruce4 · 02/10/2022 11:10

No visits here. Does that mean I’ve definitely not won a big prize? We have put a lot of our savings into PBS but still only get £25 about twice a year.

boatgirl81 · 02/10/2022 11:26

Only the 2 millionaire winners will know already, still some other nice big prizes to win.

Benjispruce4 · 02/10/2022 11:27

Still a chance then! 😄

FivePotatoesHigh · 02/10/2022 11:48

I shall live in hope of winning £100k yet then!

The doorbell hasn't rung.

@Summerof22 it took 9 days for my winnings to hit my bank account. I've seen it's gone to your savings account.

It's the last working day according to the Facebook page. I put a screenshot on the last thread.

wheresmyshoe · 02/10/2022 12:57

Good luck for this month, it will be interesting to see the change in prize reports.

PrettyCherryBlossom · 02/10/2022 13:02

Agent Million visits today, the day before the first working day of the month. Good job I’ll be heading home after lunch!

There was a knock on my door earlier. But it was just a guy asking if I wanted my windows cleaned. I was partly hoping it was a ruse by agent million, so asked if that was all...

He said Err yeah

I said are you sure

He said well I wash doors too.

🤦🏻‍♀️
