When's the day?

MagdaMok · 02/01/2023 14:40

Fingers crossed for 4th January now 😁 with grand amount of 350£ saved in my Premium bonds I will gladly take any win 🤣

Eaumyword · 02/01/2023 16:08

Well no Agent Million came a knocking today (standard!)
But I've always thought a £100k win or anything big really would be blerdy amazing!
Certainly enough for me to ditch my low paid, part time job that is super stressful.

Thank you, this thread prompted me to download the app and some news to make me smile was in the app!

neptunanna · 02/01/2023 17:29

What if AM comes and you're out? What happens? Do they leave a card?

Babytwodue · 02/01/2023 17:43

Can’t help but ask @Craftybodger what it was 😬
do they release the results on the app earlier?

No, just the unclaimed prizes, I save them up for a rainy day!

There's a story here where the lucky winner had moved house (didn't update his details) and was out at work. They still managed to track him down to tell him the news. They're pretty persistent if you win.

Unlike Omaze who I only realised recently, require you to contact them within something like 92 hours if they’ve emailed you. I could not have checked it for that long. What if you were on holiday or your email was playing up? Imagine finding out you’d won and they’d moved on

RudsyFarmer · 02/01/2023 17:54

We crossed checked against the high winners in
December and sadly we weren’t among them. Everything crossed for a couple of hundred quid this draw 🤞

UnfinishedBunting · 02/01/2023 18:04

@RudsyFarmer, that would be the high value winners from last month's draw though.

CornishTiger · 02/01/2023 18:16

Also downloaded app and got excited and realised it was December draw I already knew about!

omg really?!!!! Thought they released the high value winners earlier than the app and we were put this draw. Excited again!!!!!

Youarethesun · 02/01/2023 18:27

They do release the high winners before the app. But the app won’t update until 4th. So the higher value winners will be out tomorrow.

iminapickleofhoarding · 02/01/2023 18:49

So exciting! Does that mean AM has in fact been to someone today and it wasn’t me? 😭

Mintine · 02/01/2023 19:51

It wasn’t me either, but I’m still looking forward to finding out if I’ve had a smaller win, anything would be nice!

YourUserNameMustBeAtLeast3Characters · 02/01/2023 20:21

Not me 😥

I’m annoyed I’ve remembered that I would be able to see the other big winners at midnight tonight as I’m bound to not go to sleep until after then now.

I did calculate the new odds of a ‘big’prize, (over £10k) based on normally getting 3 prizes a month, and it’s about 0.7% over 10 years… still better than lottery odds I suppose but not so promising for tomorrow.

torthecatlady · 02/01/2023 20:31

Out of interest if any of you had a visit from AM, would you tell anyone in real life? I don't think I would!

fedupsweetpea · 02/01/2023 20:32

Nope! My husband and I would bask in the glory!!! The only person I'd tell is my boss...when I tell him to stick his job up his arse 😂

Along the lines of ‘we came into some money’ as I gave money to a couple of specific family members and paid for a holiday with my lovely friends. But not other than that.

I don’t think I would. Simply because it’s not enough money to share about. If it was a lottery win of tens of millions then I would tell close friends. A million though, I don’t know if that would be enough for me to be able to walk away from my job.

torthecatlady · 02/01/2023 20:46

I wouldn't leave my job if I won, but dh would and go to college to learn a couple of trades. It's no secret amongst friends and family that he hates his job so it wouldn't be that unexpected!

Youarethesun · 02/01/2023 21:07

I wouldn’t even tell Dp. 😂

Abouttimemum · 02/01/2023 21:40

We’d keep it to ourselves. I’d probably work part time and DH would turn his hobby into a living.

Would treat the family to a hol with ‘we came into some money’ type thing.
