    I agree with sugarbabe. Once per person. It is not in the spirit of comping to cheat. Yes, the rules say per e-mail address/phone number but this is genorosity on the part of the comp organisers so that different family members can enter, not to be taken advantage of. Anyone can register for ten e-mails or buy ten sim cards. I don't hold a grudge against people who enter more than they should. I just hope they really need the money and I hope karma will swing towards compers who are following a certain code. :D
    I think I have missed maybe six-ten hours in total since the comp began and I just know that I am not going to win on this one, just like Reward Your Thirst even though I am entering and entering and entering every single hour. But, that is the way the cookie crumbles and hopefully I will have a nice win like this someday!

    you might buy LOADS of pepsi max.

    It's a no purchase necessary promotion as the codes aren't unique, so really no need to go out and buy tons of Pepsi.

    imagine if you hadn't won... your boiler would have still packed in and you would have had to find the money from somewhere else :eek: congrats on your win :D

    True, but then again... how do we know that the boiler WOULD definitely have broke had I not won. Might it just be the law of Sod at work?!!

    I really wish they would have made this one entry per household per hour. This would stop people using multiple email addresses and entering for partners/family members.

    I agree with this to a certain extent...

    I do see it as cheating if you enter using loads of different emails/phone numbers... however, entering for myself and my partner, what is wrong with that?
    Why shouldn't he be able to have a go too?

    I know I should put this on the I Won I Won thread, but I just wanted to share here that I actually did win on this yesterday, :j one of the few days I didn't check my e-mails for the chance of a WEM, so I've only just found out.

    The perseverance finally paid off - I've been entering almost every hour (weekdays only) and was beginning to lose hope. And yes, when I entered I entered with my work e-mail address and my 'comping' address :o. It is my first win, though, so don't be too harsh ...

    And yes, I really do need the money!

    Almost forgot to say thanks to NewStudent and all who posted the codes - many thanks guys!
