    Can someone please explain to me how this works? :confused:
    I've text once (saturday) Can I text again today? Or am I only allowed to enter once?
    If only once, does that mean I'm entered into every days draw, or just the day that I text?

    Got a text to day to say "You're a Bowtime winner! We'll post your prize to you within 28 days. If you've won a main prize, we'll call to confirm within 48hrs. No need to contact us!" Thanks for the posting

    Would someone be kind enough to clarify this for me? Please.

    You don't need a code? You only need to text "chill" to the number and then when you get their reply text your details?

    Is that what people who have been winning have done? Or have you actually had to use a strongbow code?

    And you have to repeat the above each day, right?

    Thanks in advance and please excuse my being so thick.
    :D if you don't have anything nice to say, keep schtum.

    T42 there's no code just text 'chill', then they text back asking for your name house no and postcode.

    Is anyone else having probs with this today?

    I text 'chill' to 83400
    Got the normal reply, requesting my details.
    Text them back.
    Reply said,
    Sorry, your address could not be recognised. Try again with only: Your name then flatand/or building number (not road) then postcode.
    So I tried again. This time I got:
    Thanks for your text- but we did'nt recognise the key word JULIE (my name). Please try again remembering to include the correctly spelt keyword.
    Gave up!!!

    I had the same problem yesterday, it was driving me mad. In the end I sent the original 'chill' text again and when the reply came through, my name etc. reply went through ok.
    :beer:Thank you to all posters:beer:
