    I would however, advise people to read the first 5 pages of this thread if they haven't already. 90% of early posters have a 'Nokia 5800' win on their signature. One person even won FOUR in quick sucession! It definitely pays to notice these comps early. :p

    yeah rub it in lol

    I entered every draw on the first day :mad:

    goes off in a sulk :rotfl:

    Morrisons have been meanies to me today, I went along with my magnum cards, got a trolly full of shopping + pepsi ahem, My magnum cards were declined, got home logged onto Magnums and Morrisons have taken the money from the magnum cards as well as me having to pay cash .. my bogofs have ended up being rip offs lol
    This will (hopefully) be mine No 131

  • Another request going out for people to post how many cans they've tried and how many phones they've won if any, so I can work out and post the average number of cans needed for a win.

    Obviously ignore this if you've already posted it in the last couple of days. Thanks!

    Orange

    I don't really know if there is a straightforward relationship between these two but here goes:

    I entered around 72 codes and won nothing. I entered at least 7 codes by text and I entered mostly one a draw but did 3 a draw few times ...I now resign x

    I won on my 3rd code last friday. I have since entered more code because oh and son are trying to get my phone off me, but have not won again. probably about 30-40.
  • From stats provided so far MSEers have collectively won 13 phones from approx. 1172 entries.

    So that's an average of one win for every 90 entries. Obviously this might be skewed by more people entering now compared to the start.

    Taking 25p/can, that's £22.50 per phone on average. As I say, I think the odds are higher than that now, but it's a useful guide...

    Think I might do just that :)

    It ends on 31st August, so I might start entering codes a week before that and see how it goes. Thanks for the idea minnie;)

    I think it actually ends on 28th Sept - so there is loads of time left to enter codes. Think I'll wait until nearer the end too - hopefully most people will have used their codes by then or given up!

    Orange no offence intended hun but there is no correlation between the number of entries and no of wins. My friend has entered 6 codes in total and won 4 times! I have entered 150ish and won sod all.
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    From the T&C:

    There is one prize of a Nokia 5800 COMES WITH MUSIC handset to be won every 10 minutes between 11am and 7pm everyday from 06.07.2009 until 31.08.2009 inclusive.

    Entries received after 7pm on 31.08.2009 will go into a daily prize draw to win 1 x Nokia 5800 COMES WITH MUSIC handset. The final daily draw will take place on 28.09.2009.

    Entries received after 28.09.2009 will be entered into a final 'late entry' draw to win 1 x Nokia 5800 COMES WITH MUSIC handset closing at midnight on 28.03.2010.
