    Thanks I'll wait to see if i won then before pulling out and moving to a higher rate
    Don't forget the possibility of a Nationwide fairer share payment in the coming months

    FWIW, I won in last Feb's draw and got an email to that effect on 28 Feb.

    That's most likely going to require holding a current account with them isn't it? Wasn't that a requirement last time?
  • Quick update about the prize draw - I contacted Nationwide today and they said the emails and letters to winners would be going out, but said they “can’t confirm any dates on this through social media”.

    Bit random, especially as they’ve had whole press releases about winners being contacted shortly after other recent-ish draws!

    Anyhoo, the person I was in touch with did confirm that winners will have prizes deposited in their accounts within 30 days of the draw, and advised me to keep my account open until then in case.

    Strange how it takes them literally weeks after the draw  to inform the winners by email.

    It looks like we'll have to keep our funds in the account until the 20th March then, just to see if we do win 
    If you want to be rich, never, ever have kids ;)

    For information purposes, here are when emails from the previous prize draws were sent out (may be in batches of course):

    Prize draw took place 21 FEB 2023, email 28 FEB 2023
    Prize draw took place 22 AUG 2023, email 25 AUG 2023
    Prize draw took place 20 FEB 2024, email AWAITING

    Unsure why it is taking longer this time than either of the two before.
