    please answer me:(

    Hi Cookstar

    I have won two phones, both on the internet. The first I entered five codes (using all my email addresses to make sure I got all the LEM's!) for the last draw of the day and the second I only entered one code in the late afternoon. Saying that, I have seen a lot of people on here saying that they have won two phones using text messages and most seem to think that one code per draw is the way to go.

    HTH :D

    A big shot is just a little shot that kept shooting ...

    yay well done raeh:j

    My opinion - though it's not worth much.

    It would be a nightmare if the actual code was a winner, about 208 entries per draw give or take a few. If no one entered a winning code in that time then the computers got to go through and pick a winner, or what if 4 winning codes came up in the same time period, the computers still got to pick a winner. What if many codes are still left in the shops when the comps over. It's just too difficult. Why bother doing that when the computer can just go through a heap of names and just pick a winner at random anyway.
    I honestly don't think there's any best winning plan to this, I don't think it matters what internet provider you have, email address, name, winning town, text or online entry, I just think it's down to that computer stopping on your name and luck.

    1st can from pack being a winner - it could be last can from pack if you turn the pack round. I always buy my pepsi in 6 packs and the winner I had was in the middle of the pack.

    The graph - just as an example, so you look at it and it says yesterday 3pm was quiter so you enter at 3pm, trouble is your not the only one whose looked at the graph, so you may get 400 people have done the same. Does it then make that time one of the busiest times? I don't know.
    You'd think the quietest times have to be when many people are in working hours but if everybody whose at home is thinking the same then it may not be any quiter than at any other time

    I really think it's just like most other competitions, name picked at random.
    The one thing I do always wonder about though is if the entrants names are put in the computer alphabetically?
    If so and your your name is Andrew Adams or Zachary Zebbadee how much chance is there of that computer stopping on the first name on the list or the last name on the list. Not much I would have thought?
    Mmmm! Maybe I think too much:rotfl:

    Anyway, hoping to see more winners tomorrow, good luck.
