X-Factor final tickets - Printing mistake!

Hi, sorry I'm a bit new to this website and never post.

I've been trying to win tickets to the live X-Factor final by entering the walkers and pepsi max competition.

To win you need to enter the last 4 numbers on the barcode of the crisps or pepsi but I noticed today that the last 4 numbers on the barcode on my crisps are the same as yesterday but it still works!!!

Today I used 6971 twice today on the website and it worked - I just waited 1hr first!!!

It's only on packs of extra crunchy and pepsi max and you can text in but its 25p so I just go to walkers website instead

You can enter every hour too :j

    The barcode is not unique to just that certain one bar ie it covers all the products of the same size/type etc.
    One barcode for all 330ml cans ,one for all one litre bottles etc

    Starrybee, if you look on the main competitions board at the X factor comp you will find numerous codes that can be used.
    i.e
    0801
    1771
    2242
    3307
    4578
    8006

    :)
