  • Every hour they do a draw for everyone who entered that hour. Those that just entered once, weren't they just lucky for that hour? (or 15 mins as it was I think) If you only enter between 9 and 10 if another person won that hour then you wouldnt be in the draw for the rest of the day would you? Thats the impression I got from the comp.

    I forgot about it this morning so have missed out on one hours comping, but will carry it on for the rest of the day.
    Current Aims: Laptop/PC, decent money, holiday
    Best Wins: Ipad, Nintendo 3DS, £400 Shopping Spree at LK Bennett, £100 Boots vouchers
    Total Wins (Since April 2012) £3442.56
    Big thanks to all who post comps :T:beer:

    Yes that is correct but some people (including two winners of last weeks Galaxy Note comp) only entered one of the hourly draws for the whole day. In other words:

    Me, I entered every single draw last week ie 12 entries over 12 hours. Won zilcho :(
    Two winners who have reported a win, only made one entry for the whole day ie entered one draw out of the twelve and won.

    Hope that explains it...phew

    Entering the whole competition more than once, like entering once the first hour of the competition, then again another hour.

    Same as with the competition this past Sunday. The people who have won seemed to have only entered once the entire competition.:eek:

    How do you know ? I don't see a list of all the winners stating how often they enter
    Wins so far this year: Mum to be bath set, follow me Domino Dog, Vital baby feeding set, Spiderman goody bag, free pack of Kiplings cakes, £15 love to shop voucher, HTC Desire, Olive oil cooking spray, Original Source Strawberry Shower Gel, Garnier skin care hamper, Marc Jacobs fragrance.
  • Why is the word the in red everywhere in this thread?

    The two winners were obviously lucky in that hour they entered. Someone could enter 10 comps in one day and win 2 of those whereas someone else could enter 200 comps in the same day and win nothing. Its all down to luck. If you dont enter you wont win.

    Didn't realise that they did this regularly, the last thing I did was the bike one that was every 15 mins.

    Maybe the people saying to only enter once a day are thinking they will put others off entering, giving them more chance of winning.
