Forth One

This week on Forth One, win on our Thousand-Pound Thursday. Listen out all day Thursday, answer the trivia question and that evening, we could be giving you £1000, in cold hard cash!!

The brilliant thing is that we’ll make sure you have it by the end of the day.

We’ll set the question on-air during the Breakfast show, you then have until 5pm to give us the answer!

Text your answer to the question given on-air to 64100 starting with the word “GRAND” followed by either A, B, or C.

Answer:

Texts cost £1 plus your standard network rate.

To take advantage of our 3 for the price of 2 texts, just text the word GRAND, plus your answer a second time to 64100 to get an automatic third entry free. Your second text will cost £1 plus your standard network rate.

Interesting is this legal to offer "buy 2 get one free" for a prize draw, my understanding from a few years ago was that when running a prize draw all entries had to be the same price. (I remember being visited by the police to check whether I was OK for my name to be the promoter on the tickets). The tickets were 50p but I was told I couldn't sell 5 for £2!!

I know at summer fayres etc when you buy a several strips of raffle tickets there is usually extra tkts but for a formal draw are they allowed to offer incentives to get you to enter more than once.:question:

I've had a scan of the Gambling act 2005 but I'm none the wiser as to what these radio Txt competitions actually are - are they a lottery or a game of skill?
