E: 30/09 Win Gadgets Every Day with McCoys

Clutterfree

I entered details, pressed submit, it said checking code and then I got "oops an unexpected error occured: error #2032"

So now I don't know if I can resubmit or not.

Can i just ask, when the T & C's mention about publicity and all that, what are they usually referring to? As in a picture, a statement from you or your name and county being used? What exactly? I've tried to find a contact email address for McCoys but to no avail? Does anyone have an email I could send an enquiry to? I think that's the only thing that's putting me off entering as many competitions I'd like to. The fact that I don't know what exactly it entails.

When I type everything in and click submit it says.."Easy there, mate. We're checking... " or something like that and just stays like that. I tried uninstalling the flash player and the mccoys website doesnt even work. help? plz.

Does anyone else think it's strange that there have been hardly any MSE winners?

I'm wondering if this is another Andrex comp where there are up to 1000 prizes available and that not every prize may be won

Maybe there aren't that many people doing it every day......or we're all just being unlucky with this

It's nothing like the Andrex comp, these are from the T&C's

1. Prizes will be awarded to those whose receipt of entry (by text or online) most immediately follows 1 of 1000 randomly selected winning moments (generated under independent supervision). Only one random prize, per random winning moment.
2. The prize fund: 1000 gadgets to be won (up to 12 to be won daily). Consisting of 84 x iPhone 3G 8GB (Each phone is supplied with a UK O2 Pay As You Go Sim Card and will require O2 top up card purchases to activate and use. Republic of Ireland residents only will receive a €10 cheque to contribute towards an Irish O2 Pay As You Go Sim card and Air Time Voucher); 84 x Sony PlayStation 3 Console (80GB); 832 x iPod Nano Black (8GB)

So I read that as 1000 winners over the whole time, maximum of 12 winners in 1 day

Few peeps have won but not me - still trying.

Rules:
"Prizes will be awarded to those whose receipt of entry (by text or online) most immediately follows 1 of 1000 randomly selected winning moments (generated under independent supervision). Only one random prize, per random winning moment."

That suggests to me a time is chosen for a prize and the first entrant after this time will win. So i guess all prizes will be won.

I remember Andrex :mad::mad::mad::mad:
