What time do you enter the Times hourly comps?

Hi Just wondering what times people enter on the Times hourly comps. Have been entering for two years now and have never won. I tend to do them at about 5 past or 25 past the hour. I dont know why! What times do your enter? ;)

    I didn't think it mattered? I thought it was randomly drawn from all entries that hour?

    This is me as well! Or if I'm working it's when I can sneak an entry in without the boss seeing!

    Just whenever I cba or remember
    If I'm about all day I usually enter all 12 - so I might enter one at 1 minute to the hour and the next at 1 minute past the hour
    And nope, never won

    Same as Glitter03 and Maineblue - no tactics, just panic at the sight of the clock and if its near the hour , wait and do the next hour. No win yet. I say yet to tempt fate lol.
    Good luck with it everybody X

    Yup, to be entered into every draw. You can just enter once or twice and be entered for those one or two draws. Depends if you have time or can be bothered :) .
    I used to forget most hours.
    Best to stick an alarm on your phone every hour if you don't want to forget any, and just quickly enter through your phones browser.
    That way you don't have to be stuck online all day either.

    This weekends prizes are good :D Fingers crossed and good luck! :beer:
    Comping since Feb 2012.

    Best wins - Pram, £800+ Baby equipment, Big :eek: gadget bundle, Summer hamper, £500 worth Freeze 24/7 products, Sony Xperia Z, £200 worth tanning/beauty products.
