How ITV select winners.

mjm3346

Found this while prowling the internet

ITV operates an independently developed winner selector tool under licence from a third party.
This is known as inner Selector’ and is a market leading solution used for managing many
competitions across the UK. The Winner Selector works by taking in all entries to a competition
from each entry route, and assigning a unique random number to every entry. This is done
independently of the original entry method, and assures that each entry has the same chance of

being selected, irrespective of the method of entry.

Thanks for sharing.

Let's hope other companies use a similar tool to ensure fairness.

interesting and good to know, thanks.


Does anybody else get the first "CAPATCHA" deliberately wrong, so that when you press back to enter again (3 times for dickinsons, 5 for the rest or whatever is) it then remembers your details, and you don't have to fill in the form again?

Yep! I definitely do that, it's so much quicker (well it feels quicker!)

Mine saves on google chrome anyway so don't need to get capture wrong just press back and details are still there.
