  • Also if you google " Yahoo MSN lottery draw" you will see that other people are saying it is definitely a scam.

    Hi.Can i just underline the importance of searching to see if any comps have been posted before,before posting them.It's not just a case of searching the url or keyword try doing both or at least more than one:)

    Just come on after only being off for 2 hours to find 11 dupes to merge(Does that mean there was 33 or am i the only one they get sent to?)

    Thanks Darren

    I promise I don't just send to you hun, I do vary and share them round - if you check my posts you can see when I say I'll PM for a merge you don't always get them. I'll try to be a bit more even-handed in future though, as I do tend to send to whoever's light is on, or who I know is around (or has most recently been online) :o

    I noticed there were lots this evening - I, too, wish people would search more, then those of us who notice duplicates wouldn't be breaking off from comping to send PMs for merges :(

    Just read this when searching the papers for new comps - thought it may be of interest to those of you who get the letters offering 'prize holidays' for just a £20 admin fee... (European Vacations et al)

    Daily Pounds is a 100% free UK competition and it only takes a few minutes of your time.

    You simply choose 7 numbers from 1-49 and if you match all 7, we'll give you £100,000! - 100% FREE!

    In return for providing you with this free competition, we show you banner adverts around the site - that's it!
    I've worked out it's a 1 in 85.9 million chance of winning that and all you get is £100,000....hmmmm not worth it for looking at banner ads which they would get paid a lot more than a fraction of a penny to present to you.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    Do you mean you have been using this address for years and not getting any emails?? lol What account did you send the message from?

    Surely if you log in as '.co.uk' then this is the address you are signed up with? I can't log in to my email account using an incorrect address - it tells me the username or password is incorrect. :confused:



    my sister also uses a .co.uk address and has had a good few wins, so don't worry about changing it.

    I log into yahoo with co.uk and I have had a few spam emails in that, but as I only use it for comps I never thought of checking it.. I tried sending an email from my hotmail acc and it wouldnt send to co.uk only .com... very odd... ney mind,,, I WILL win now hahaha
    He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
