    Generally all their competitions are won and mostly by text as that is where most entries come from (Except with MSE where hopefully there are no text entries and very few postal ones as the overall odds are so poor)
  • Been entering via text for quite some time but no luck yet. Lets see if my luck can change. I know they had controversies 5 year ago where they said it was fixed.

    Personally I wouldn't want to waste the value of a stamp never mind pay for a text entry - several years ago their accounts showed they were getting over 40,000,000 paid entries a year, then there are the free postal entries, the free entries from the buy 2 get 1 free followed by buy 1 get 1 free - couple that with their accounts that no longer show a number but have all said something like
    Elsewhere in Direct to Consumer our competitions have performed well across the schedule with continued growth, and development of the competition portal

    and there could easily be 80,000,000 a year or more now
