    I tend not to enter the text ones, just because they'd cost me a fortune, but the postal ones I won two games for my little boy which was nice.

    I'm going with the theory that I might have a better chance of a postal one because there may be less people wanting the hassle of mailing them. Probably not true though!! :)
    I always think the internet ones will have TONS of people entering because they're so easy to just hit enter. Doesnt stop me from trying those too :)
