    I have searched for the thread that i saw what i said on,
    but cant find it.
    It was in the comms of a post last week (i think) i just put what i could remember, Im not sure about their guidelines - i presume you can enter with any phone number, i just cant remember what exactly was said in the thread.

    Tbh i wouldnt worry i enter 3 numbers (as most regs do) and only enter 3 times not 6 per number - again due to that seems to be the best formula from the winners on here, (think weeowens won itv comp with just 1 number)

    When i first started 6 months ago i used 6 numbers, but with 2/3 itv comps a day on average its was too time consuming for a comp that has over 200,000 (upto 1million if you believe itv) entrys.

    Great comps great prizes but odds still similar to winning a big lottery prize.

    oh i didnt realise weeowens won ITV comp :D
    what one?

    Oh hang on then now you've said that i could be wrong i cant quite remember but he won £250 hamper or something (beauty & sun care products i think) actually they also won a holiday because i remember the post saying they were waiting to see what the itv win was, and when he found out he said perfect for the holiday (seychelles or maldives, or something similar) either way although not a big itv win still an itv win..
    **update sorry wee, it was 'chelsea1969' who won.

    But it all goes to prove mse'ers do and can win itv comps, and not neccessarily by using a few numbers, so it gives us all hope..
    There are some amazing ones ending tomorrow dont miss them..:beer:
    Still comping, after 2 heart attacks 4th feb & 6th feb, and a stent put in.. 45 years old only:eek:

    I posted the STV terms on THIS previous comp - post #2.

    Extract from T&C:

    These terms and conditions (the “Terms and Conditions”) apply to all W2W competitions promoted by STV.

    Entries submitted online are free, to a maximum of 6 entries per phone number provided, with a maximum of 3 phone numbers permitted per person.

    As far as I know, they only apply to STV "watch to win" comps and itv have not (yet) introduced a similar restriction.

    I guess the reason for this rule is that somebody who works in an office with 19 other people could use their home number, mobile number, 20 office direct line numbers plus the office switchboard number thus gaining 138 entries into the comp.

    Too irresistible not to bump for. Would it be against the rules to run an MSE comp on, 'guess weeowens' gender '. Our WO, don't tell anyone - yet :D
    I am brave, I am bruised
    I am who I'm meant to be
    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!
