Hi. Was just wondering if anybody had ever won any of the instant wins (where it generates a code) as I don't recall seeing any winners on here. Have done a search. Ta.
MSE wins: 2009 Altec Lansing iPhone speaker dock, 2012 Ribena 'Hunter' wellies :beer:, Local (non MSE) Tesco comp, Kindle Touch!

To get a rough estimate of your chances of winning multiply the numbers by each other to find how many different combinations there are. At the moment the coffee machine has numbers between 1 and 30 to choose from on 3 "reels" so 30x30x30 gives around 27,000 combinations, the computer where the numbers go to 37 has around 50,000 and the £500 of sony vouchers (47x47x47) has over 100,000.0

I won once in 2009 when I was going through one of my comping 'phases' and not taking it more seriously like I do now! I won an Equazen Eye Q kit (fish oil capsules/brain training CDrom/colouring pencils...) from an instant win. I haven't had any wins from instant wins since though. I occasionally do them but dislike reading all the "Sorry you have been unsuccessful this time"s! January 2016: Seed Pantry Grow Pod 0
