Good Luck everyone😁

Ohmylovejune · 30/08/2023 23:35

Good luck!

HappyValleyFan1 · 31/08/2023 06:42

Oooh I found the thread 😅 I was still on the May onwards one.

Wishing everyone lots of luck, could do with a visit myself as we're desperate for a new roof 😬

lemonyellows · 31/08/2023 07:29

Good luck for today!!! I'm in ALL day 😂

sidarisally · 31/08/2023 08:01

Have the lists been published yet?

I'm out at work all day but my husband is working from home. What would happen if I won a million and Agent M arrived at our house? Would they inform him? Probs not but then he'd be wondering why there was an excited looking man on the doorstep Grin
Some couples might not know about each others Premium Bonds, might be part of their escape fund.
I'm aware I'm overthinking this but I'd hate my husband to find out my good fortune before I do. If the agent is there to give him good news then he'd better let me know asapGrin

NoNoNoYoureWrong · 31/08/2023 08:21

I’m looking forward to Agent William’s visit today. I hope he times it well though as I have a Very Important Meeting this afternoon and the teenagers never answer the door.

I know is definitely me this time as our mortgage fixed rate ends today and so the majority of our PBs are being withdrawn next week.

Eaumyword · 31/08/2023 08:24

I think they ring first @DurhamDurham and it is all secret - they can meet you away from home if you prefer. Not sadly basing this on experience, think I read that somewhere!
Dying for AM/AW to pay us a visit. Been awake since 3am hoping and praying!🤭😂

There was an account on the NS & I website of a winner. He said that they called him in the day so they could meet him at home after work.

DurhamDurham · 31/08/2023 08:31

@PriamFarrl @Eaumyword
Ah that's good to know, thanks!

They wouldn't need to wait long to meet me after work, I'd be skipping out of there rather quickly

FiveShelties · 31/08/2023 09:11

I wonder if he will arrive here in the middle of the night, not sure there will be any point me staying up all night just in case.

Rupiduti · 31/08/2023 09:41

Peacemaking..this will only be my second draw and my first I won nothing so hopeful this time 🙏

Happy Agent Millions day! I've lurked on here for a while but never posted. I always thought I would post if I won something worth talking about, which hasn't happened yet. Hoping someone on here gets the door knock this afternoon!

ChessieFL · 31/08/2023 10:28

I’ve always wondered about the actual logistics of the Agent Millions visit. Do they just hang around if everyone’s out and they can’t get hold of you by phone? Lots of people wouldn’t be able to answer their phone if they’re at work. What if you’re on holiday and they can’t get hold of you? I assume that if they really can’t trace you the prize just sits there waiting for you to (hopefully) claim it at some point.

Thisgooddog · 31/08/2023 10:29

I hope so as we are on holiday!

CeeCeeDeeBee · 31/08/2023 11:04

Had a missed call from a number I didn't recognise. Got excited. Just the hospital changing an appointment.

Darn it!

So if they call first, do we think if we haven't had a call by lunch time then it's not our month?

Ambleen · 31/08/2023 14:19

Hi, this seems like a fun thread. I bought my first PB last month so I understand I won't be entered into the draw until 1st Oct. Does this mean that if I elect to have winnings converted automatically into new PBs then they won't be entered for the best part of 2 months. Seems a better idea would be to put the winnings into an account that offers daily interest for the first month. Or am I missing something?

Ohmylovejune · 31/08/2023 14:21

I'm pretty sure winnings converted to bonds go into next draw.

Ambleen · 31/08/2023 14:24

Thank you. I'm hoping that is the case, saves me moving it.

NoNoNoYoureWrong · 31/08/2023 14:44

KNOCK KNOCK

made you all jump

Eaumyword · 31/08/2023 15:02

Oh well, gonna blow out the candle and put the biscuits away for another month. No visit here!

Defiantlynot41 · 31/08/2023 15:41

@Ambleen @Ohmylovejune winnings reinvested do automatically go into the next draw. See extract from NS&I site
