    Cannot say I have noticed any winners from this format since this thread was started in Feb 2021
    My guess is that quite a few people wouldn't say that they'd won - there's quite a lot of personal info mentioned during the call so if I was ever lucky enough to win, I wouldn't be publicising it.here

    I wouldn't either but there were plenty who did on their previous competitions and by not saying exactly when they won there  are no details to match. Although the chances of winning are very very slim, no entry = no chance

    It probably depends on your username - if someone called Liz won then I posted at some point that I'd won, it might be pretty obvious  :)

    I won back in 2019. Just under £7k.


    Thank you MSErs, you've changed my life.
  • 21st March my phone rang and hung off at the same time as the live show and checking my phone it was from a private number, gutted is an understatement, I didn't have my phone next to me as I wasn't expecting to be called as there had been 2 winners since I entered the week before, am I correct in thinking you have to re-enter every time there's a winner?  Surely they wouldn't have called if my entry was invalid or am I just looking for reason not to torture myself?

    you do have to enter again after it has been won, it is not a private number but a withheld number they ring on.
    I do it just for fun and whatever I win is a bonus

    It's a recording so the call has already taken place before you hear it on air, whichever station you are listening to
