    If I'd have designed the game, I would have it that anyone who caught one of the 5  Krakens on the last day, as being a winner of the grand prize. This way everyone who has played will be treated equally with everyone who has already won. As it stands the lucky ones are being rewarded with more luck, while the vast majority who have probably contributed to site 'sales or traffic or whatever' (as they are the ones still searching everyday) are essentially given a two fingered salute. Just my thoughts.

    Surely the easiest implementation would have been for the grand prize to be the final set of three - Squidco, Squillion and Kraken, with Kraken being the one of the three that is restricted in order to achieve the required odds of winning? That way the grand prize can be won without first having to win all the other prizes. 

     'That way the grand prize can be won without first having to win all the other prizes'. That's exactly what I suggested.  :)

    Finally caught Squidmo and got £15! Had been stuck on 10/15 for ages and hadnt won any of the prizes - if you've been trying for this long and not won anything - just stick with it to the end of the game, you never know! 😄 Found him on AA loans 🙂
