Take a break magazine

Does anyone else who sends the take a break comps away in the post find the spaces where you write the answers to small? I struggle every week to fit them in. I’m thinking about stopping buying them and just doing it online

I spent more than a year entering online and didn’t win so this year I started doing it by post, still haven’t won though lol

You have exactly the same chance online or by post - The only difference is throwing away the value of a stamp to enter by post and the chance a postal entry will not arrive or arrive in time to be entered

I imagine they still do it the same way and all entries are combined on the computer and winners are selected.

A couple

The monthly entries are scanned initially and then the unique competition code for each entry is captured by our data capture team. This allows for competition entry results to be provided and each entry is placed in a unique competition pot to allow for computerized winner selection once each competition has closed.

We regularly capture data in any volumes from a variety of media including:... competition entries...

data capture is split across two locations, each providing connectivity and contingency for the other in the event of a major system failure....

We have the capability to process data via the traditional method of keyboard input; by scanning; through the use of automated data capture and data recognition systems
