    Think I might wait for the surprise ring on the front doorbell. - or don,t they do old fashioned hiuse visits these days for fear people might think they're scammers?

    According to what the Mirror branded as an exclusive interview in September:
    Due to the Covid pandemic Agent Million cannot visit people face to face. She won't reveal how they have been contacting people, apart from to say: "We still successfully deliver the two jackpot prize winners every month. Covid has not stopped Ernie from spreading the good news."
  • £25 on 50k
  • Congrats on 1k win, nice to see someone getting more than a few £25’s
    not done well at all this year, worked out at only 0.85%.

    Much lower than previous years
    Possibly because so many bonds been bought or bad luck?

    The prize fund dropped from 1.4% to 1% in December 2020
    Never let the perfume of the premium overpower the odour of the risk

    Indeed, and, allowing for the distorting effect of the small number of large prizes, the expected 'average luck' return is more like 0.9%, so 'only' 0.85% isn't particularly bad luck at all.

    As the prize fund is percentage based, more bonds being bought makes no difference to the odds of winning, i.e. £95.8m prizes for 115m bonds this month is the same percentage as the £82.5m paid out from 99m bonds a year ago....
