    Tuesday 11/08 - Lines close at 4:00pm - (undecuple roll-over/11 roll-overs)

    £17,017

    (Plus the holiday, wrong answer today, 10/08, they said £16,345 instead of £16,364)

    If you already made 36 entries, you won't be able to enter again, however you are entered into every draw.

    If we call you after 4pm, just tell us the exact cash amount to win the money and maybe even a holiday too!

    If you don't answer the phone within 5 rings, or you give us the wrong answer, the prize will roll over to the following day.


    Bet they cried after that call
    I nearly cried for them! 

    I don't like the way they do these comps now, 1 entry for the whole month doesn't work 
    jan '09 - Sharp 32" lcd TV, GroBag Nightlight, Advokat cocktail kit!! WOOP!

    I agree about the crying, I was really sorry for the lady...But I guess we are the stupid ones...nowadays...It is more and more the shark way :|
    Thanks to those who help us to win !

    I don't do them as I cannot be sure I would always be available to answer a call (knowing I had missed the call or gave the wrong answer are just as bad as each other to me).. but obviously it works for the stations in terms of paid for calls and that's what matters to them.

    I tend to write it on the back of my hand, although not everyone's cup of tea. Might also need a touch up as you wash them.
    Good luck all....

    I've won these calling comp last year. I just wrote them on my reminder app on my phone and when they called me, I am put the phone on speaker, when over to the app and read it out.

    All mobiles have reminder/ calender or note app. So use them. No need to cry, what is meant for you will come to you.

    Sorry to bump but it seems I've already entered this as I've exceeded my entries and I can't remember doing it!  Will have to keep a note of the daily amount in case they ring me.

    Yeah, as Rich says in the post above and all the other posts, if you've already entered with 36 entries you can't enter again, the last competition that did this it was for the whole month.
    Thanks to all the competition posters.
