I guess you winners are checking with the app.

Q? How long between the draw and getting your 'You've won' email?

(I suppose they send out so many they have to go out in batches - alphabetically/win value sort of thing).
The plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data'.

Yes I use the NS&I prize checker app. The winners email can be 4-7 days later IME.

Still waiting for a big one but even these smaller wins pays the bikes tax and fuel and probably a beer or 2. 👍

Because of my luck on the bonds, I've put a tenner on tonight's Euro, it's £199m!

Nothing so far. I'm not that disappointed, I've only got a £100 stake and I bought them about 10 minutes ago.

I'm going for surgery on my spine later this week, it has "less than 1 in a million" chance of causing full or partial paralysis. Which is about 100 times more likely than winning the Euromillions (depends on how much less than 1 in a million!). I'm still going for it.

Funny how brains work innit? :D

I wish you luck, and will keep my fingers crossed that you don't have a 1 in a million event this week.

Nowt again, but having reduced my holding to £1500, I'm not shocked to not win!

Not sure if I should feel better or worse about said surgery now.
