I'm loving these comps...and by posting how many are left and times helps us to guess when to enter..which in turn saves us money...which is what this site is all about...money saving

Only 3 more days to go on it Al.....;) x

If all the prizes had to go during the day and it got to 23:30 with say 20 out of 30 prizes left it would be true that it might help you guess when the odds would be slightly better, however as prizes are allocated on a random basis and are not all won during the day it makes no difference how many are left or when they are won.

As this is a pay for entry competition it is a gamble, not a money saver and the vast majority of entries will be losers (like my one go before I knew prizes got left over for the draw). From some of the postings on here I would guess a lot of money has been spent on this one.

Hi twinklenicci and welcome to the forums.

Chat 51/52 is here and That's Life 51 is here.

As you're new here, it might be worth reading the comp guide here, as it's full of useful information.

Good luck!

It is possible that there have to be so many texts/calls between prizes, and most people enter later on, certainly after the comp has been posted. I'm certainly not going to enter straight after one has been won.

The money saving bit was a joke :cool:

I've tried to work out if there was a pattern to this but have to say, except for yesterday, i was baffled, yesterday seemed to be every hour at around the same time so i waited until that time and rightly enough the numbers decreased whilst i was entering. Not sure what's gonna happen today though, they may give all 5 prizes out - they may give none. Its the last one tomorrow - hope its a biggie or lots of prizes to be won.

Still 5 left on the Daily Mirror
