Hi
I normally do instants (FB etc.) early morning thinking less people about and can hopefully catch an extended winning moment!
I've tried different times for elusive ones but still unsuccessful!
Do you stick to a regular time or stagger them? Tips?

I do it whenever I remember! I did the advents early morning - usually about 1-2am. I won a few things.
I've won pepsi (by that I mean only a bottle of pepsi! haha) and robinsons (skate hut) around 10am.
I won ecover at 11pm
I think it's just a case of being lucky(I know winning moments tend to be better at 4-6am - I know someone on FB always wins around those times!) xxxx
December Wins: £300 worth of board games, £500 Tesco Vouchers Best Win in 2023: £500 Tesco Vouchers0 -
* Luckyone sets the alarm clock for 4am*
I usually do them in the morning around 8.30am

Generally in the morning, between around 7am - 11am. I've won on a few of them - Abra-ca-Debora, Biscuiteers and Fruitypot were all early morning wins!0

Sorry, not getting up at 4am for these :rotfl:!
I have won a packet of pancakes, a lunchbox with a 4 pack of fruity jellies in, (And a token!) but they're really not worth losing precious sleep over, :rotfl:LOLWorse things will have happened in the world today..."The only thing that really matters, it to love and to be loved."0 -

Weird how I've won more than once on some instants but can't touch others!!0 -
