    I think they will have a very small winners list - Andrex spring to mind
  • An Irish tractor. The farm, barn, scarecrow or part of the engine of the Irish tractor(?!?)... hmmm.

    Barn - no! Stupid barn!

    i picked the scarecrow and nothing there either
    :j It doesn't get any better than this :j

    Still no winners ? :o

    Orange Plastic- where does it say all prizes will be won. Can't see it anywhere.:confused:

    Um... I don't know. Sorry, I'm sure I saw it somewhere but I can't see it now. Could be a good question for Weetabix! Does anyone have an email address for them?

    I didn't win - and it didn't ask me for my email address (apart from at the end if I wanted to join the mailing list) so I don't know if they can do a redraw?

    Good point!
  • I'm starting to think this might be a stupid competition...
  • If, as has been said earlier in the thread, that the win is code specific, then they couldn't possible say all prizes will be won.
    08 wins £3000+ :j09 wins £4408:j2010 (6 months off) £2004:j2011 £10,003 :j 2012 - £6013 :j2013 wins £8500 :j 2014 £5530 so far....
  • I'm sure there will be winners with this, given the number of prizes, but these 'instant win' type comps are pretty misleading.

    On the duck site there was a very good discussion about these instant win type comps, involving last years B&Q Nissan Navara comp. Worth a read http://forums.loquax.co.uk/showthread.php?t=217338&highlight=navara as you hear directly from the handling house about the mechanics and the 'risk management' involved.

    The upshot is that the total payout is often considerably less than the headline prize fund and the chance of winning one of the main prizes are very slim indeed.

    I would also imagine that the game element is just a to jazz it up a bit ie your fate is already decided once you enter your unique number.

    I really hope we do get some winners on this though:beer:
  • Taken to a farmyard in Ireland. Choice of wellingtons, a barrel, a window and a doorway. Its not under the wellingtons!!

    That's a really interesting read on that thread.
    Interesting input about the percentage of replies to the comp and how the comps work.
    Thanks for the link.
  • Yet another failed go on this. I wouldnt even be bothering with this one if we didnt eat Weetabix in our house anyway.
