    From the terms here.... Prize is non-transferable and non-negotiable. Family is classed as two adults and two children. Children are classed as being under 12 years of age. I would guess so :)

  • Hi

    This is probably a silly question but do you need to enter every hour or do you only enter once?

    thanks
  • Hi guys can you clarify.. do we have to repeatedly enter each hour for the different holidays, or just once for the lot?

    Thanks :)
