My sentiments exactly! I have been entering these kind of radio competitions the maximum number of times for over 4 years and no joy yet. Then when I hear of someone winning with just one entry, I'm happy for them and not bitter at all....but at the same time I feel so disheartened.janE1956 said:Makes you wonder just how random this is. Strange that there have been a few that have only entered the once, when us idiots are sat doing 42 phone calls6 -
Another thing to remember is the total number of entries from people who only enter a few times may be far more than the total entries for people who max their entries so potentially making it more likely a single/low entrant would win (I've no idea of entry breakdown, might be totally different but random doesn't stop an outsider winning, might make it less likely but doesn't stop it happening - lotto this week had all 6 numbers below 16)cutey1983 said:

They don't display the number they are calling from so it wouldn't have been from them.
