    I might try cooking this actually saves drinking the stuff :D

    I managed to bend one up (a ringpull, that is) but don't seem to have got the hang of it yet - have 2 cans I unintentionally opened now so I've decided I should probably retire for the day :o

    I'm back and very pleased to see wins for Dan and soblivion - well done!!!! :T


    As far as codes go, don't be getting all stressed about them. They don't mean anything - there are no pre-allocated winning codes/winning times on this one.

    Each code you enter is one entry. After the ten minute period is up, all the entries get jumbled up in a big hat and one is drawn out (big hat = computer, but you get my drift ;) ).


    So, as tempting as it is to try to find a way of increasing your chances on this one, it really is all down to luck. Sorry :(

    For those of you on code 150 or thereabouts, remember you are still only halfway to where I was when I won! :eek: So don't give up just yet

    But DO NOT spend money you don't have on Pepsi. I was incredibly lucky to be able to buy all of mine out of profit on Magnum winnings; so it didn't really count as real money. If you don't have the spare cash, don't get carried away.

    This begs the question: how much had you spent on the Magnums? ;):D

    I've heard of this before using Diet Coke. It's supposed to make a really nice BBQ style sauce for the chicken. Haven't tried it though.

    Well, I suppose that would be a way to get rid of one can - what about the thousannds more I have??! :rotfl:

    ;) LOL isabelle - good question

    Truthfully, I was one of the smaller Magnum winners but still made a nice amount. I spent £50 on them over 2 months and made £350 in cards. So a nice £300 profit.

    Lots of people made thousands of pounds profit on that comp though. I won pennies in comparison
