Bowtime have set winning times!

I have entered 3 days at exactly the same time and got a winning text. But no fridge! So I think there is a specific time slot for winners, and a specific one for the fridge.

I tested my theory yesterday by entering 1 minute early, with no win. Same time today and I am a bowtime winner :confused: Weird huh?!
2008 wins £4405 2009 wins £7194 2010 wins £9615

Best wins ever: Laptop, £1000 John Lewis vouchers, PS3, Xbox 360 iPad Mini :beer:

    I had the same thoughts. I have been entering around 8am & won twice. Today I pressed the send button on both my mobiles at the same time. I had a reply within the minute for 1 & I have just received a winning text on it, the other was about 5 minutes later before I was asked to text my name etc & no win on that.
    Sometimes later becomes never. ...

    I've entered at 8am and won. I then entered at 4.25pm on the same day, with the same phone and won the next day. :confused:

    I think the draw runs from 4pm till around 3pm the next day, as one day I didn't enter till just after 3pm but didn't receive a text back till after 4pm the same day.
