Well done-do you HAVE to check it every day or will they let you know if you have won? Im in this and get a daily e mail urging me to check, but I don't bother-just wondering if I should?0

Hi Emuchops ,you need to check everyday,if your postcode is drawn and you miss it the money rolls over to the next day,i just click on the email they send me and it opens up their site with your registered postcode and the winning postcode comes up,if it's yours you have to claim it and you can get paid by Paypal ( i expect you can choose how you want it paid )0

I am more than happy using Paypal and as most people have a Paypal account this is the safest way.and latemodern (Chris) you are a gentleman :T

Just a bit of expectation management here
The email that Gethro received meant to confirm that he had won £40.26 (despite the fact that I had already paid him). There was a bug caused by a recent site update that caused this to come out at £117.26.
Anyway, I've paid Gethro the extra £77 and am very much hoping the same thing doesn't happen again! :embarasse
Good luck and thanks for your posts!
Chris
Well done. Hopefully *when* I win, the bug will show £10,000SECRET TO WINNING PRIZES:
