    so now we know why people like me cant win cause your taking the pee


    Whilst I completely understand why you are peeved - please can I reiterate for the umpteenth time that the prizes are allocated according to pre-determined time slots.

    In the instance of this competition, whether somebody wins 1 or 100 times has very little bearing on your own likelihood of winning

    I am now sick to death of repeating the following: there is NO way to cheat/trick this system. The ONLY way to give yourself an advantage is to play pretty much constantly between the hours of 2am-5am.

    The prizes will NOT run out before the close date - and whilst I do agree that boasting about winning multiple packets is a little uncalled for and slightly vulgar, it does not affect anyone else's chance of winning.

    You dont need to use different names,i have won 15 times and had some of those in my name and others in my husbands so you can certainly win more than once and claim the prize in the same name.

    Rules on playing are quite clear too,you can only use an email or phone number to enter once each day and if you win you cant use that one again.

    I have perfectly well stuck to the rules and use all the email addresses that belong to the people in my house to win prizes for people in my house so i dont feel i have taken the pee at all,its just fortunate that i have a big household.

    Thanks.

    I'm waiting for quite a lot from the whole of Feb.

    Had one packet at the beginning of this month but either the Send For It people are having logistical difficulties (which would explain why some packs are going out without postage labels) OR, we've been caught out as wicked cheaters and blacklisted by the chocolate fairy ;)

    Or possibly because you arnt playing at 3am in the morning like i am when prizes ALLOCATED TO TIME SLOT during the early hours have not been claimed. tell me the day you want to play at 3 in the morning and i wont play that day.I am not breaking any rules as it is one go a day per email address not per person. Also i have given some away to nice people on this site.

    Possibly sour grapes?;)

    Definately sour grapes. At the end of the day the rules are clear and most people who have won multiple times have won in the early hours of the morning. It took me a while to get my first win on this and i was playing everyday at 1-3am and nothing. Its just luck of the time slot. x
    Good things come to those who wait!
