    answered after 4 rings and said Hello, no winner today

    I don't listen to that radio that much during work; when the person answers with hello, do the presenters converse with them much? Whilst I would assume they would offer them some kind of condolences off air, how much do they speak 'on-air'?

    Would be intriguing to hear their reaction to being told.....
    you don't hear if they do, they just tend to say nooo thats not what I wanted to hear, but could have put phone down by that time.

    They do not speak to them at all the call is ended as soon as they say hello.

    It’s crazy how many rollovers there has been!

    Do they only call from an unknown/private number?

    Just finished my entries for today and every call was fine. 
  • I'm guessing if you've already answered the maximum number of times since it first started rolling over, you can't enter again until it's won? I entered the maximum the day after it was won (10th) and therefore haven't entered since.

    Sometimes I think they don't always ring someone every day, I think they play a prerecorded failed/"hello" call just to deliberately roll it over to get more entries and more money. Strange that if someone won £96k, the next day it's £97k, but if it rolled over it's still only £1k more...

    Who enters and doesn't glue themselves to their phone between 1500 and 1510??!
