just to add....the winners are selected randomly for the holiday vouchers..it's not based on your score (thankfully!)

Though it is based on the high score tfor the ipad (thanks Kemmers)....which begs the question....how on earth did those two high scorers get those scores?! Is it just conicidence they are the same numbers?!

Plus how does anyone get over 15,000?!

Not exactly. According to the rules, to win the iPad you need to have the highest score. To win the £500 holiday vouchers though it is indeed picked randomly.

Thanks for the comp.

I'm having a little problem. I go to the launch tab, click enter and it says that I can't enter because I need to have launched some piggies and takes me back to the launch tab.

Am I having a stupid day?

once you have clicked on the tab 'launch' a message should appear with a button 'play' - when you click play, it initialised the game and then you launch the pig.

only when you land a pig can you enter the competition

No comment. Go to launch tab, wait for it to load (something about 3d). You will get a screen with a pig on an airplane steering wheel. Drag said pig with mouse and click. Hope for the best. Mine landed in the sea several times. I did manage to land in Belfast (about 300 miles) and entered the draw. You can have as many goes as you want.

ETA: adding link in daily thread

Tried Firefox and Google Chrome and the only thing that appears is the "enter" thing. Other than that, it's just a blank page, with no indication that anything is loading.. I will try Internet Explorer now. Wouldn't surprise me if it's a laptop related problem lol.

for info, it's definitely working in Firefox here, on my laptop...

Thanks. I think it's either a laptop related problem or our internet is just so shoddy that it doesn't like it.:o

Am using Chrome, so it's not a browser issue. It could be that you need to update Flash player or something similar. It is a very, very busy page.
