Windfall bond experience ...

I don’t like the new method of running the Windfall bond draws. Much prefer the previous method. I would like to see winners list as before. Reviewed on: 14th July 2025

Took a while to get through to speak to someone by phone approx 20mins. However spoke to Kathryn who was very patient and took me through the process of changing my account over. Really nice to speak to someone who seemed to care and accept that not everyone is a whiz with computers. Reviewed on: 14th July 2025
