Is my entry still valid

Hi i've just entered a competition with GMTV to win £100000 via this forum and just as i sent my last of the five entries allowed i noticed i had spelt my captcha code wrong. However i still got thankyou for entering the competition.
Does anyone know if i still have that entry or will it be void. Normally when you make a mistake on the captcha it tells you and you need to correct it.
Thanks

You'll be fine, don't panic, it's not a spelling test, it's just so they can see that you are human.Luck is believing you’re lucky – Tennessee Williams

I developed a few tips for crusing past the captcha quicker:
* Ignore anything with digits in it
* Reload a captcha that's going to take ages to type
(i.e. get a new one in place of one with awkward words in it)
* Ignore any word under four letters long
* Ignore the occasional typo
Most of these will work with most comps, although I think the GMTV codes used to be more strict than the ITV!
