    Thanks, cinders! That's awesome to finally see a win that DID enter every hour!

    I'm torn on what to do now.

    Does anyone think that age comes into play at all? Because I don't seem to win anything other than instant fb things or similar...
  • last thing i won was a coffee sample....wahoo...could do with a new phone! haha

    I posted in the thread last week that whenever I have read of winners from Times comps it has always stuck in my mind most winners have commented that they only entered once or twice. I did say some MSE person(s) could prove me wrong and Cinders you have done that :D

    From the Galaxy Note comp last weekend, two winners posted on Loquax and both only entered once.

    I am definitely NOT entering every hour ;)

    To those of you who think this is once only entry, please ask yourself the question, if this is the case then why do they put in the T&C's the bit about if there are no entries in a particular hour then the winner will be selected from entries in the previous hour ?

    For me its clearly one entry per hour.

    Yes you can enter every hour, what we were saying was that many winners from Times hourly comps have reported that they only entered one of the hourly draws for the whole day and won. Although there has now been a couple of MSE peeps who have reported wins from entering every hour.
