Does anyone remember...
Is there anyone who keeps a record of the value of the click to win prizes ? I won one last week but have no idea what value was put on it or if it pushes me over the £500 prize limit for entering mag comps.

MSE Treasure Hunt
Am I just being an old cynic, or does it looks like a bunch of techie people have found a way to find the codes quickly? Seems a bit odd that loads of posters in that thread have joined Feb 2016 and these are their first posts.
