When it says "no bulk entires" what does that mean?
Ie. no more than one per envelope, or no more than 1 per person?
I was going to print out a load of addresses, and send off about 12, does that constitute bulk entries? And if it does, why specify "no more than one entry per envelope" because that seems to hint that you CAN enter more than once, just only once per envelope. But when does it become bulk? 5? 3? 100?

I would assume that bulk means not thousands and thousands. But It doesn't state only one per household or person, so to me that would suggest that as long as you only make one request per envelope, you should be fine.0

The 'no bulk entries' rule is only incorporated to stop those "pay us money to enter free draws on your behalf" companies from entering thousands of automated entries on behalf of their clients at a time - take a look at

for a bit of background to the problem. As long as you only send a few entries at a time, you should be OK - I usually spread mine out and send just 2 or 3 a day, between now and such a long closing date it all adds up!0 -

So if I put in one envelope a few slips with different names and addressesses, different handwriting, that would be OK, do you think?
I cut the name and addressess off old envelopes for doing plain paper entries.
In a few weeks time when everyone has started a collection of halves, someone could start a list of common halves and ones that are rare

On the reverse of every "half" is either 30p or 50p off. It says you can choose to either wait and hope to get your matching half, or spend it as a money off.
Hope that helps
