Dorset Cereals tokens & raffle

Hi all
I was wondering how many people collected the dorset cereal token via spin to win and mini games and then on average how many you would use if/when the have a decent raffle prize?
I've got 758 at the mo as I'm addicted to the mini games:D and haven't been interested in recent raffles.
Thanks

    I collect them and use loads when it is a prize I would really like such as a weekend away. Sometimes they have offers to use tokens on a box of cereal too.

    I do the mini games every day, as I quite like puzzles like this.

    I usually do the mini games and go for the free cereal when they have it as a freebie and sometimes a raffle prize (I use all of them if it's one I want) - have put 500+ into a raffle



    They used to donate a tree for every 2,500 tokens entered, this was shown on a chart so you could work backwards to get the number of entries.

    From 4 years ago when you got 1 token per "spin" plus the mini games
    Dorset cereals ended with just over 859,000 entries for their March competition

    then they changed it
    Dorset Cereal monthly where multiple entries are allowed and you can "win" up to 5 entries per go now on spin the bottle has, with one day to go, 1,258,250 entries.

    I looked around their site just now and they still do the "trees", their aim is 200 trees a month which means people earning 500,000 tokens a month, so far this month they are just shy of 390,000 tokens earned.

    I used all my 300 tokens I had to enter their December raffle where you could win one of their 10 cereals collection, but I have not won.

    I think there are too many people now entering the competitions.
  • Could I ask if anyone of the compers on here has ever won? I emailed them to ask who won the last raffle and they said they would look at putting the results on their web page

    I rarely enter the raffle but know someone who has won it, I have won main and runner-up prizes on the spin and win.
    Also know they have posted the details of campervan winners in the past but I don't generally look for winners lists so don't know if they have posted monthly raffle ones before or not.

    I too have won the main and runner up prizes on the spin and win game. I usually just use one token to enter the raffle so at least I'm in it and you never know! ;)
    Thanks to the members that post competitions, especially the regulars :A
