    I've been saving ring pulls since this comp began but until today had never got round to entering the codes, so this afternoon I sat down and entered all 118 of them one after the other. I must have overlapped two draws because I first received a 'Sorry, you missed out...' email at 15:22. Then at 16:50 I received another email saying 'You Maxed it bigtime. Every 90 minutes somebody wins £1000 and that winner is you!' I couldn't believe my luck. I haven't had a phone call yet so perhaps I shouldn't get too excited until then.

    Interesting stats:

    Thank you for your enquiry.

    To give you an idea, the following stats were taken on Sunday 23rd May:

    178,944 entries to date via SMS

    628,267 entries to date via Web

    The first draw of the day does tend to have more entries because after 7.30pm all entries go into the first draw the following day.

    I hope the above information answer your questions.

    Best of luck if you are entering.

    So - if there's been roughly 50 days of competition, with 4 draws a day, that's 200 draws. 800,000 entries more or less, giving you a 1/4000 chance of winning per entry per can.

    its interesting that of course more will go on the first draw of the day thats why i never do not that ive won lol

    the odds are pretty good better than the lottery anyway!

    Thanks for the congrats all,

    Got my confirmation phonecall this morning. The lady said I will receive my cheque within 28 days.

    For anyone interested I'd saved 118 ring pulls and entered all 118 codes within about an hour via the website (rather than by text). I figured that the more entries I had in any one draw the more chance I should have of winning. I avoided the first draw of the day (noon) as that one includes all codes entered since the last draw the day before, (more entrants obviously equals less chance of winning).

    to gabbyevs: I don't think the numbers/letters thing means anything. All codes are entered into the draw and one is picked out, so any entered code could be a winner, there are no pre-determined winning numbers.
