Free Postcode Lottery daily prize pot is now £30

Big News! The Daily Prize Pot is Now £30!!

http://freepostcodelottery.com/big-n...ze-pot-now-30/

And it’s all thanks to this man… and you!

The man pictured goes by the name of “Prince”. Some of you who have been keeping an eye on the Referral Board will recognise this name. On Thursday the 23rd of January he posted about FPL to HotUKDeals.com.

This, in itself, caused a big wave of new signups but things got really exciting when you guys (nearly 5,000 of you so far) voted for us on the website. Within a day FPL became the “hottest” ever competition to feature on the website. This has since led to loads more newcomers, and a boost in revenue. So much so that I can now afford to put the daily prize pot up to £30 per day. Thanks guys!

Prince (real name Shehzad) fixes iPhones and sells stuff on eBay for a living and to fund new e-commerce ventures. He discovered FPL when a friend posted about it on Facebook. It just goes to show that those referral links work!

The number of postcodes entered (see the grey bar at the top of the homepage) before Shehzad posted to HUKD was 2.17%. It is now (at the time of writing) at 3.21%. Just to keep things interesting… as soon as this figure hits 4% I’ll raise the daily prize pot again to £40!

Finally, when I say “thanks” I really mean it. Most of the comments that you’ve been writing on the HUKD post are extremely positive and I’ve been delighted and moved by the response. So, thanks again!

Chris

    The rise to £40 per day is days away. Just to make things a bit more fun, the entry & referrer that gets us over the line will be awarded with £100!

    Once the “% of UK postcodes entered” figure above (currently 3.95%) hits 4% the daily prize pot will be going up to £40. The entry that takes is over the mark will be rewarded with £50 and the referrer will also get £50.

    How will this work?
    When a new entry is made the database records what the percentage was at the time of entry. Once we hit 4% I’ll look for the first entry with 4% as that figure. If it’s not a referral entry I will keep looking until I find the first one that is and I’ll send £50 to both the entrant and the referrer via PayPal (the usual way). Make sense? If not, I’ll answer questions in the comments section below.

    What you need to do
    Pick up your Personal Referral URL from this page. Obviously, the more places you find to post it the more likely it will be that the first referral entry past the 4% mark will be one of yours.

    I realise I’m sounding like a broken record now and a lot of you have already done your bit… but the site completely relies on word-of-mouth. And it is working… Hence the increases in the prize pot. But we need to keep going. If we all make sure we get the word out I’ll make sure the prize money keeps increasing :-)
