Just been checking out the FPC lottery site, don't know why my number comes up. But on the 'stockpot' it's got the next update is 10pm. Have they started giving another extra prize ? Or is it 'cos of the clocks changing this morning.

It's probably just the clock change but still 2 updates a day (says 10/10 updates instead of 9/9 at the moment on the Stackpot but the updates might still be taking place at 9/9)

Is anyone else getting twitchy about the amount of information collated by the survey draw? Each day only a few questions are asked, but they add up to a very detailed description.

I can't see any sort of security risk, but I'm beginning to feel Big Brothered.

For some reason I have not had any survey questions for weeks now. I click the link and the winning post code is already showing?

Their interest is in the total responses for each individual survey not how one e-mail address has answered a thousand different surveys.

Google charge their customers for the individual surveys and pay some of that to the sites featuring them - I can only find the prices in dollars but there is clearly good money to be had as of Sept this year -

General population surveys are now $.10 per complete for 1 question surveys and $1.00 per complete for 2-10 question surveys (regardless of how many questions you have).

Surveys targeted towards specific age, gender, or location demographics are now $.15 for 1 question surveys and $1.50 per complete for 2-10 question surveys.

Prices for surveys with screening questions start at a minimum of $3.00 per completed response and vary based on length of survey (10 question maximum), target audience, and incidence rate (minimum of 5%).

All responses are anonymous and collected in aggregate

Prizes increased again

Survey draw now £100 a day
Main draw still £150, increasing to £200 when 16% of postcodes registered (just passed 15%)
Stackpot £10 (refreshing twice a day seems to be permanent now)
Mini Draw £20
Newish Bonus draw £5 (need at least a £5 bonus to be eligible)


Also another referral competition

This time there are five £100 prizes up for grabs. Any referrals made between now and the moment we cross over 16% will be put into a pot. Five referrals will be chosen at random winning each referrer £100. It’s worth noting that a referrer can win more than once, so if you’re really good at making referrals, and really lucky, you could walk away with the full £500!

Just wanted to bump, in case you haven't visited the site yesterday or today - only a few hours left to help donate to charity

For each person who visits the site on Christmas Day and Boxing Day we'll be donating 5p to charity (that should be at least 120,000, so £6,000). The total will be split between 3 charities that we are thinking of particularly at this time of year. Today marks the 10 year anniversary of the Boxing Day Tsunami so we're donating to DEC to help deal with current and future Crises. Over 100,000 children will be homeless this Christmas, so we're also giving to Shelter in England and Scotland to help in their efforts year round to find homes for the less fortunate. And finally, we're donating to Halo Dogs which is a charity that is close to my heart for personal reasons. They rescue and rehabilitate dogs that have been abandoned or abused and work tirelessly to provide good homes for dogs even if it means they have to move in with them.

Just 225 visitors short of the 120,000 but Chris is rounding it up so DEC, Shelter and Halo Dogs all get £2,000 each.

FPL seems to have done well. It is now approaching 16% and only this time last year it was at a snails pace. Now it moves a 1% a month by the end the year it could reach over 30% which means the JP could be larger than £150 or Chris could invent some other draws as an incentive.

I just enjoy logging in few times a day to check if the relevant draw has come up with my PC.

Remember Chris gives 1p as a bonus each day you log in and 1p if you click on the Survey draw. Currently I am £9.29 so that is a long time I have been logging in daily to come to this figure.

I joined PCL(NOT FPL) 2yrs ago a total waste of money. FPL is the future now.

Thanks to Chris and his inventive ways of bringing this to the forefront.

By the way when FPL approaches its 16%'t registrant he is giving away £500 referral fees split between 5 draws. The best thing is one PC could come up 5 times. The probablity depends on how many chances that PC is put in the pot.

who knows you could win the JP one day, unlike me who is now side tracked and haven't won since I joined in 2011. Oh well this could be it.


Good luck to all.
