Entry to the Competition will open and close as detailed in Item 4 in the Terms & Conditions below.
I have sent a text to enter but haven’t received an entry confirmation message
There could be several reasons why you haven’t received a confirmation message. This could be due to insufficient funds, a bar on your account or a network problem.
You will need to speak to your network about this.

• Three: 0333 338 1003
• Sky: 0333 7591 018

I can’t find the online entry
Online entry can be found on the Terms and Conditions page within the 'Win' section of each website.
Am I’m being charged for receiving texts promoting the Competition?

We strongly advise against excessive use. You can also ask your network to put a premium rate bar on your account, which would prevent you from entering by text.
My text message isn’t sending or is failing.
If your text message entry to us is not leaving your phone, then it hasn’t reached us and won’t be included in the Draw.
This is something that isn’t under our control, and you’ll need to contact your network in order to resolve this issue:

To confirm, if this is happening, you won’t have been charged.
I had a missed call, was it from the Competition?
Unfortunately we cannot disclose this information, however it is possible that the call will be from a withheld number. Before entering the Competition we would recommend ensuring that you will be able to play at the times announced on air.
I haven’t had a text – what is the Prize?
The Prize is announced on air after the start of the each Entry Period. This will then be regularly repeated until the Draw takes place.
I have previously won a prize. Am I eligible to win again?

Just out of curiosity if anyone knows, why is it that those living outside of Scotland (rest of the UK) are not eligible to enter the Scotland’s summer cash drop but those living in Scotland can enter both (this one and Scotland’s version of this competition)1
-
Good Morning naz89
I don't know the answer but it is very unfair. People living in Scotland and North Northumbria can enter both the Scottish version and UK version of the competition but people living in the rest of the UK can only enter one competition which is the UK version.2 -
Apologies I should have said North Northumberland not Northumbria.0
-
Good Morning molly57,
my thoughts exactly. It’s been bugging me for a while now.2 -
naz89 I'm not sure what, if anything can be done about it. I'm all for everyone having a fair chance at winning.1
-
I guess it's up to the promoter to set the rules. Other regional competitions exist eg Wave 105 broadcast area only, London postcodes only etc. I just ignore and get on with the next comp, no point in complaining.0
-
I've always wondered with these competitions...are they going to ask you a question if they call, or does just answering the phone win you the prize?0
