I agree, Furby - Pani is very generous indeed to give his winnings to the donkeys. :clap

This month's big winners (100k plus) have 7 people who only bought them this year. It's supposed to be random but can't be can it been running for over 60 years and get 7 big winners just from this year.


My old bonds from the last century have post office stamps showing where my family was in the 1960s so I won't cash them for sentimental reasons. But I check my winning numbers when I win and it's always bonds bought this century that win.

I wonder if they have lost the old numbers.

I thought the draw was tomorrow. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I won £100 which was nice because it's been £25 previously though in lockdown I was glad of even that none of my savings and dividends wanted to pay much that year. I used it to pay the energy company who say I owe 103.94 more so good timing.

It does seem to be sending prizes every few months now or so the number choosers must have got better. I did sometimes go a year with nothing. I noticed the more prizes in lockdown because it was so dangerous and difficult to get out to banks and they kept sending cheques and it's one good covid thing that has stayed more prizes for Furby.

Well done Furbs. £100 is very welcome. I checked today and it said the results weren’t released until tomorrow 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m at the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Glasgow. I’m a field judge. Today, I was recording the distances and changing the order in the Women’s Shot Putt final and raking the pit in the Pentathlon Women’s Long Jump.
Tomorrow, I will be herding coaches during the Heptathlon men’s Shot Putt. In the evening I will be operating the Time Clock in the Women’s Pole Vault.

My prize was from last month they don't sent the lower prizes out until later in month and then the royal mail take another week or so to deliver them. I only see the results now when it makes the news I know i didn't get a big prize this month because of location and bond being bought this year. The news have them the first day for headlines and then individuals can check numbers the third day.

I am glad patience surviced her latest health to get to athletics and it didn't see stop her.

Well I got my biggest prize ever (£100) today

Or the promise of it anyway. I think they pay it into my account automatically, but when I went to log onto the site I realised it was going to send a code to my old phone number.

So I've written them a letter asking them to update it. They say to call, but knowing what the site is like I dread to think how that would go.

I've only ever had £25 before and £100 feels like real money.

We are back with the brand new customers only game I see. The winnwrs this month bought bonds in the last year.

Banking and money on general seems to be falling apart at the moment. Numerous silly restrictions which make senses for people up to all sorts but along the way seem to have removed ability to just simply save and occasionally take out.
