    Can someone tell me what do they mean by win without finishing? Does it mean I fill each above answer complete or do I miss a few letters out?

    hi, it means that you don't have to finish the crossword,
    if you win the winner gets £25 per correct answer so if one
    answer is wrong you get £25 deducted off the £1,000.


    ETA..
    mag t&c's say..
    if your entry is the first one out the hat you win £25 for
    every correct answer,
    & if you've correctly completed the lot we'll make the winning total up
    to £1,000
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png

    I think it means that even if you miss out some answers you can still win,you just get less money - ie, £25 per correct answer. Obviously not relevant here when you've got all the answers given!
  • I think it means if you get 1 right you get £25, 2 right you get £50 etc. up to 29 right (meaning you got 1 answer wrong, since there is 30 answers) for which you would get £725, but if you get all 30 answers right then you get £1000 (instead of just £750 i.e. 30x25)

  • "We'll make the winning total up to £1000" so yes, they up it to £1000 instead of just £750 (30x£25)
