    Nope I dont believe charities should be giving prizes away nor hound people at the door or street. All money raised should go to the cause minus a little for expenses/admin

    Agree with pp, "charities" should not be in the position to give away this amount of cash.
    Charities have become more like businesses, the Comic relief director is on a £120k+ salary (buys alot of food and mosquito nets!!) and clothes in BHF shops cost more than they do brand new as well as the fit for the tip furniture that they charge well over the odds for.
    I've done a lot of charity work over the years, but now focus on closer to home fundraising where I can see exactly where the money is spent.
    And no I didn't enter.

    I did not think about it that way. If you look at it like the charity is giving away money that has been donated by the public. Would it not have been a good idea to set it up so people have to donate £1 to enter. Then when they have like 20,000 entries do the draw?
