    I always put my home number down. I hardly ever get unwanted calls but if I do I have a way of dealing with them. I've won quite a lot!! I can't see the point of entering unless your going to put you phone number down. If you've won a big prize they usually want to ring you to arrange delivery.

    I give mobile number for competitions but never win. For surveys etc I give my proper number 01234 567890:D
