    I could win lots more but I'd rather let others get a chance and win some for their families and their good causes too. :)

    Rarity wise there's far less Rugby balls than the other two on offer, 50,000 footballs 30,000 cricket balls and only 20,000 rugby balls. Although personally I found winning the cricket balls the hardest. Total shame that there weren't any tennis balls, although they're are strangely shown on the promotional sections of the website and are part of the losing messages. Also why no basketballs? :confused:

    Is there any trick to it, like entering codes spaced out or anything? Been playing daily since the start and only managed to win 1 football. Would like a rugby ball and cricket ball to go with it. Just enetered about 20 of my old codes all after the others n didn't win

    Not that I can see other than persistence and good old fashioned random luck, I just enter my codes one after the other and I'd say 80% to 90% are losers. I have found that new codes though haven't won a thing straight off for more than a week, but may still win later on when reused. I've lost count how many codes my system has stored in it, must be over 50+, but it takes me an hour or more to go through each old code. Don't give up, keep using the old and new codes and you're bound to win at some point. I think that all the codes are potential winners, it's just a matter of their computers picking that right code on that right day as one. The more codes you have the better, much like any lottery. Gmail/Googlemail does double your codes. I guess also you could share codes, as long as they're official I don't think they're user specific, but each code can only be used once a day, so if you're using them your friend can't. Also try off peak times to increase your chances, like 12am to 6am, I tried this with new codes only twice and won. God only knows how many I would have one with my old codes at midnight. Having said that my first couple of wins ever were during 10am to 10:30ish with only a few new codes and I have noticed it is getting much harder to do that now. Winning selections must be running low, like trying to find a straw in a needle stack.:confused:
