  • What I don't get is that only bills under £200 are posted online - so why would someone enter themselves with a smaller bill, as they are the only ones who would win this way, if they weren't going to bother checking to see if they had won..?!? :confused:

    Because it's better to miss a little bill than a big bill..? ;)

    I'm beginning to think these names must be fictitious!

    Me too...! But if you're not going to bother checking, then don't enter to give us all a better chance of winning! :D

    I think perhaps some people were like me and misread/misunderstood the rules when signing up. I clicked on the page with the form which said......

    Tell us about the monthy bill you'd like Absolute Radio to pay. Keep it below a grand to be eligible to play (read our full terms and conditions), then tune in to Absolute Radio to hear if you are a winner.

    Plus, if the bill is £200 or less, you'll be automatically entered into our daily online prize draw for another chance to get your bill paid!

    I therefore chose my largest monthly (direct debit actually) bill £135 per month which was probably a mistake when I read all the rest of the terms and conditions but like someone else said at least its less to lose if you should miss your name as its impossible for me to be by the pc/radio all the time.
