Green circle iPhone

LittleFreakJezebel · 01/06/2023 16:55

Green circle for me too

LuckOfTheDrawer · 01/06/2023 17:07

I updated my app, and now my circle is green too 🤣.

What are you looking at?? On my iPhone I have a pale green band at the top and a graphic of some circles dropping in to a pocket?

You are looking on the blue NSI app not the cream prize checker app

Cream and green here... 🤞🏻

Can I ask, how do you check the list? Do you manually scan down it looking by area / holding amount and see if anything matches yours or is there a more scientific way?
I'm in a London borough on the edge of Kent with a Kent postcode so not sure whether I'd be London, Outer London or Kent?!
Although having said all that, like lots on here I like to keep the hope alive as long as possible so stop checking at £25k level.

OneFrenchEgg · 01/06/2023 18:19

Pretty much that Mavis

RudsyFarmer · 01/06/2023 18:23

DP said they regularly change the colours, so I don’t think it means anything unfortunately.

Just checked both of our numbers against the big winners list and neither of us have won a large amount sadly.

FiveShelties · 01/06/2023 18:44

No big win for me. Perhaps lots and lots of little ones tomorrow.

Yes I scan to my County and look for the holding amount

I have a number that is easy to see if mine

If I ever had £50k I would be screwed as see my county and £50k a lot

Guess then I would have to look to
See when brought so
Makes it harder

Or maybe I will have 49 998/999 😂

Show quote history

Surely all you have to do is buy your bonds in weird amounts. So £1057, £28, £16224, etc. Of course if you’ve got your winnings set to reinvest, this might not work!

The easiest way is to download the Excel file of high value winners, and to search for your county / region. The Excel file list also goes down to a lower value of prize than the web list.

HatchetJob · 01/06/2023 22:14

I hate they don’t tell you at say 9pm. it’s so stupid.

Or buy a very obscure number of bonds and search for that.

(First time posting in this section)
The info must be starting to filter through the system as although mine says 1 day to go, underneath it then says 3 prizes this month & if i scroll down it tells me the total + individual amounts/bond numbers - no lady on bike/glasses of champers etc tho. DCs doesnt say anything so will be interesting to see if this is their 4th(?) prizeless month in a row or if it just updates later..
