Mag Dailies

Does anyone know if there is a way of knowing which prizes on the mag dailies are lucky dip? Sometimes I go on them and they seem to be all lucky dip from the start and I don't know why. I can't be bothered with the lucky dips so just aiming for the ones with questions.

Are some of the magazines better than others? Eg I just went on Cosmopolitan and every single one I clicked on was lucky dip.

Thanks to all the wonderful contributors on this forum I am really enjoying my new hobby and learning lots :j

    The number ones have "runs until won" (or something like that) while the "real" ones have an actual end-date and they usually appear first when I've looked.

    When you are on the grid with all the comps displayed......If at the bottom of each comp it says “runs until won” then it’s a lucky dip one. If it says “Ends: [then a date here]” then it’s (usually, but not absolutely always) a prize draw with a question.

    Looking at your Cosmopolitan example above, I can see 3 prize draws with a question (a book and 2 hotel stays), so they are there.

    Alternatively, just search “MD” on the main board on this forum and you will see all the prize draw question ones as the lucky dips ones aren’t posted.

    Just had a look at Cosmo and the first 3 are "real" and the remaining 51 are number ones.
