Click to Win Winners.

I was just checking the winners list on WinSomething and it looks like someone won twice on the same prize - I always thought you could only win once per prize?? I know it could also just be a coincidence that these are two different people with the same first name, same second initial and from the same town.....

In case you're interest it was for the Rollei Sports cameras on 17th August.

    I have seen it before and I don't look that often, there is nothing in the T&Cs to say you cannot from different sites- ages ago I had wems for the same prize from two different C2W sites and just asked them to redraw one of them.

    It's only from the wem you know which site the prize was won from as winners lists are displayed on every site a competition was running on and include all the winners for that prize regardless of which site the winning entry or entries came from.



    The baby bio on here has multiple two time winners

  • Oh I see! I always thought the entries were pooled and when a winning email was selected all the other entries from that email addy were removed!! Cor That makes it even harder to win!! ;)

    I have won a few times (mostly tickets and DVDs!!) So was aware of the fact that winners are announced on all sites sharing the prize regardless of where they entered from just never knew you could win same prize twice! Congrats to the lucky lady that won two Rollie Cameras eh! :T

    There was a Facebook comp a wee while back where the same person won twice ... it was alcohol too, I think there was like 10 winners (probably a daily thing) with all the winners being announced in one post .... the post specifically said that the same person had won on 2 separate days, so won like 2 cases of wine or something.

    Not a click to win, so completely irrelevant to this post really :)
