Long before National Lottery terminals and playstations started cluttering up convenience stores way back in 1994, Under The Counter invested a pile of his hard-earned pennies in another of the Government’s lottery-based wheezes, Premium Bonds.
At least he thinks he invested in Premium Bonds, since he now can’t find any paperwork to confirm this.
Worried that he is unwittingly sitting on a potential goldmine of unclaimed winnings, he turned to National Savings & Investments’ online lost account tracker for help.
All was going swimmingly until he came to the section explaining how his data would be stored.
Now UTC likes to think of himself as a man for all seasons and all that but – since he’s not getting any younger and does suffer from the occasional haemorrhoid – the Auld Boy is worried that he maybe shouldn’t have ticked that wee box after all.
