Really hoping for a win - need to get our kitchen done and quotes have been coming back at nearly double what I was expecting, so the extra cash would be very helpful!

OneFrenchEgg · 30/07/2023 10:23

So is Monday the day and then Tues results on the app?

Sparklfairy · 30/07/2023 10:53

Monday is the million, Tuesday is the £1k and over list release, and Wednesday is the app.

I think...

Yes this is right.

Interesting to read that the average holdings of £1 million is about £23k. I thought it would be much nearer to full holdings. Must be a few outlier low ones in there.

PriamFarrl · 30/07/2023 11:27

No. I want the app on Tuesday. I’ve got someone coming to do an emergency repair on the roof and it’s clearing out my emergency fund. It would be lovely if I could win £1k or so just to top it up.

If you won £1k or more, you'd find out on Tuesday Smile

Good luck everyone for this week. Make sure your house is tidy for Agent Million!

Thanks for thevlink, littleblackcat27. I was also surprised at the average holding for the million pound winners. It always seems to be £50k to me. I was so taken with the William story on this thread that I did double take that there were 5 Agent Millions. They are Williams to me, whatever their gender!

SunshinDay · 30/07/2023 15:39

@hettiethehare look at DIY kitchen and that will automatically half the price!

Eaumyword · 30/07/2023 18:28

Agent William or Wilhelmina!😂

This is my last PB thread Sad

I'm gonna miss the excitement

Between me and my two children we have 3 x full holdings but I cannot ignore the fixed term savings rates at present so I'll be withdrawing after the next draw

I'm very sad about it Sad

ItIsNeverMeIThought · 30/07/2023 22:43

Why not leave £5 for each of you or something? Then you still have a chance of winning something, without foregoing a significant amount of interest...

Rupiduti · 30/07/2023 22:48

First draw for me, super excited!

Obviously won't have won a million but do they really have someone come to the house? Are they informed in another way? What if people are not home/ on holiday?

If we win anything this month I'll maybe leave enough in to keep the accounts open

Just so I can press the button every month

Good idea fellow PBers

I'll still convince myself I've won an astronomical amount every month Blush

We are on holiday this week, so all I can say is, they better not give my £1m to someone else!!

Good idea. A dozen have won with less than £1000 so maybe just keep that in there. I am withdrawing soon for a house move but keeping some there to keep the dream alive.

ErnestCelendine · 31/07/2023 06:43

Good luck PBers. Hope agent millionaire calls back if they swing round while I'm at tesco this morning.

WhatCameFirstTheChickenOrTheDickhead · 31/07/2023 07:36

I was looking at a new car yesterday (how bloody ludicrously expensive are second hand cars still!!) so as much as I wouldn't mind a visit today, £10k tomorrow would also do I'm not picky Grin.

KohlaParasaurus · 31/07/2023 09:11

I need to book accommodation for a trip. I'm waiting for a couple of days in case it turns out that I can afford a suite in an elegant hotel rather than a Travelodge on a motorway junction or the scuzzy end of Airbnb.

SunshinDay · 31/07/2023 09:21

@KohlaParasaurus

Never ever travel lodge loads of cheap b and b so much nicer. Miserables awful places.

I'd always keep some money in! Esp in full holdings!

After some interesting cheap city B&B choices in the past that I'll never be allowed to forget, I'll take my chance with the blue monolith. But I'm sitting tight in the hope that Ernie will send me to the sort of place where the price of afternoon tea for one has three figures before the decimal point and I can gain some understanding of why crispness is considered a desirable quality in a bedsheet.

carlottacandle · 31/07/2023 13:02

Hoping for a win, we've been so so unlucky, that after 15 years of savings in PB, I think we're going to have to withdraw unless we get a big win ☹️ cannot ignore 6% on a savings account!!! Will miss the hope every month, but not the rage at winning nothing despite having a decent amount!

Sneakyblinders · 31/07/2023 13:23

No visit yet - thought he would be here earlier because of the school holidays.
