    i think that it is pretty fair a chance any name coming out as people say it is just chance they come out more.

    if someone is going to complain it will happen wether its someone on forum or not
    A big thank you to all those who post on the forum and make it a worthwhile place!!!:j

    By my reckoning there have been 8 duplicates.

    The last one "IUECSEQAMSMJRLEUN-1449" was also drawn at 7:00 this morning so has appeared three times.

    Only two of the duplicates have claimed a win.


    There are a couple of legitimate possibilities

    1) Far less people than we think have registered so the names are being drawn for a small pool.

    2) Part of the "random" process is to discard most of the registered entries to create a small pool from which random selections are being made.

    Having the same name drawn three times however does seem a bit strange.
    Well, you know, my ancestry isn't all hamster.

    define logical statistics, you have no idea how many entrants are in this draw, you think, suspect that there are thousands but you dont know so how can you say things like logical statistics when you dont have any statistics what so ever,
    By code swapping on mcvities is putting ordinary players at a statistical disatvantage as as they try there codes and bin them where as people on here are having there codes tryed time and time again but you dont have a problem with that as it puts you at an advantage but you have no control over this compitition and no way of gaining an advantage so you are going to complain and put people like me is is desperately hoping my name is called again at a disadvantage by runnig off complaining about it so thanks

    Yes i do know how many dupliactes but since your doing the dirty you can do your own dirty work !

    Calm please. I kinda get both sides. Hoping your name is called out again if you missed it does not mean that simon is not right. [I'm not saying he is btw] It seems slightly odd, that 5+ people have had their details shown more than once. If it was someone that had theirs repeated towards the end of the comp then fair enough, but the same day or several days after?

    I wouldn't say that this proves that it's not random, but makes some of us wonder.

    Number 2 sounds really likely, but i don't know really.
