    That just makes it gambling, doesn't it?
    No different to buying a lottery ticket?

    Surely more than 5000 people enter that competition every day?

    I don't think it would be described as gambling as there is no risk involved. you don't even need to buy a ticket. I don't do the lottery for just that reason - I'm too tight to buy a ticket.

    As to numbers entering the competition, your guess is as good as mine!
    Comp wins:
    August £5000:D: September: Play.com £5 voucher, Princes Quest DVD (£9.99): October: Dante 01 DVD (£12.99)
