Big Green Lottery.

The letter itself is not necessarily the end of the story. My recent one told me I'd won £10 and a that a cheque was enclosed. Problem was there was no cheque.

Yes, I should have chased it up. However I'm not in the BGL for money and had better things to do.

It would be nice to get the letter.

I got the letter saying it was closing, but still haven’t received my membership pack yet (from March!)

 

[Keyham Pilgrim]

I got a letter saying it was closing and this week just won £50. My membership number has increased by over 700 but never mind.

What letter?

No letter for me.

Membership number increased - what's that about???

Know few of us on here wondered if we were still being included in BGL draws and commented about the winning numbers seemingly being higher than the number of members. 🤔

I don’t understand the membership number change; I joined on launch night and my number is consequently very low. Maybe it was a typo.

Cheshire, the membership numbers are not reissued, which means that over the years, there will be fewer of the lower numbers that remain valid.

I was commenting on what Keyham said earlier on this thread that he had a win but when notified his number has increased by over 700.

No idea why the BGL is such an opaque set up, (nobody seems to really know how the draws work or what the various numbers on the member cards relate to) just hoping whatever replaces it is an improvement. That shouldn't be difficult to achieve.

 

[Keyham Pilgrim]

It could have been a typing error about my membership number. On this thread on page three, cheshiregreen posted that week result which I won ten pounds. My membership number then was 708 and now this week win, my membership number is 1494. It just seemed strange.

Yes, same for me. I'd sooner they had just been honest and asked me for £100 plus and told me I'd get nothing in return😀

For those of us who think the BGL have forgotten us it will be interesting to see if we receive a letter and that the direct debits stop.

 

[Bryan Tregunna]

I got my letter the day after it was announced on the official site that it was closing.

I signed up in 2020 and have a member number in the 60s.. I always thought it was weird that I was so low. Also - You hardly see winners in the low numbers (not that I’m bothered).

My number is in the 700s but I joined about 8 or 9 years ago.

It’s all a mystery.

Just maybe all the mystery and inneffective mgt is why it's being superceded with something argyle have direct control over.

Does the panel think that Annual DD members will get the outstanding amounts refunded?
