    I had a call at 15:14pm today from 0161 524 5976 I answered after two rings and stupidly didn't say anything, I thought the calls were live by the time I went two say "Make me a winner" they hung up after 2 seconds. Do you think this could have been them calling me? I feel sick to my stomach.
    See comment from @SpanishBlue earlier.

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

    On the terms & conditions it reads "However it is possible that the call will be from a withheld number" which to me also sounds like it might not be. I have got myself into such a state as it just seems like such a coincidence as it was exactly what happened on the radio. 

    I have found the number on the " whocalled" website, I am just not sure how accurate these websites are. 

    I am really praying it was just a scam, and it wasn't them.
    Regardless of anything else the number you have posted has been identified numerous times on various sites as belonging to a spammer
    Ok, that's exactly what I needed to hear.

    Should you get lucky does anyone know what time the call is ? For some reason I have it in my head the winning call is made between 3:00 and 3:10.Thankyou :smile:

    I generally reckon that if the call has not come by 3:15pm it is unlikely that it will be me today. Having said that, when I won about 4 years ago, the call came just before 3:20pm (from a  withheld number) so I live in hope until about 3:30pm just in case. Transmission of the call is usually after 3:30pm (gives them time to edit if required).

    Could be anytime from when the competition closes to just before the winner is announced or the call is played

    Regarding the number of entries allowed - I always keep going until it tells me I reached my entry limit. For Friday’s comp it allowed me 55.

  • So there's no 'free' online entry anymore? As far as i'm aware this is a new way of running 'Make Me A Winner' unless i've missed something? :(
