ITV comps 3/6 entries

Does everyone enter their max entries in one hit or does anybody spread entries out . Does it make any difference , or is it just pure random when they are all jumbled up and received? :)

  • I do them all at once or else i'd likely forget I hadn't done them all, as for if it makes a difference it shouldn't as the comps are random :D

    Same here, I do them all at once I just find it easier.

    ... and I spread 'em out! I don't think it makes the slightest difference.

    Makes no difference
    ITV operates an independently developed winner selector tool under licence from a third party.
    This is known as 'Winner Selector’ and is a market leading solution used for managing many
    competitions across the UK. The Winner Selector works by taking in all entries to a competition
    from each entry route, and assigning a unique random number to every entry. This is done
    independently of the original entry method, and assures that each entry has the same chance of
    being selected, irrespective of the method of entry

  • :) I too do them all in one go.

    One name has to be pulled, to coin a (yes I know very over used) phrase...you have to be in it to win it!

    Pop your max entries in (don't forget to use both your land & mobile numbers), cross your fingers/send a prayer to the comping fairy/whatever floats your boat and wait for that winners phone call. ;)

    The very best of luck to you,

  • I enter them all at once for all 3 of my phone numbers!
    If I didn't I'd probably forget to go back and enter a few at a time.

    Hi, just a quick question.
    Where it says "up to 6 entries per phone number provided."

    Does this mean i can enter the same competition 6 times using the same telephone number and my name or do i have to use a new number with my name.

    Little confused and i don't want to enter more than once incase it cancels my first entry. Thanks

    6 times per phone number, doesn't matter what the name is, could be all six for one person or one entry for six different people. 2 different numbers = 12 entries, 3 = 18 etc.
