    Got to call number 68 before telling me I’d reached my entry limit because of it not accepting my “1” as confirmation. 

    Good luck all. 
    Annoying isn't it.

    There is a way of picking that you have a bad session early though.

    There are 5 stages to the call
    1. Thanks for calling 
    2. Call to this number
    3 We will read out the number
    4. Please press 1 or 2
    5 Thanks you have been entered.

    Stage 1, 2, 5 will terminate early and move to the next stage after any key is pressed. If I can't get it to move on early in stage 2, I drop the call as it will never accept 1 or any other key in stage 4
    I let the call run though until I have to press 1, over the last 2 days though more of my calls have not been accepted.

    On this new one I believe we don't have to answer with "make me a winner" .

    Do we just answer hello or do we have to say a phrase.

    How do you know if your call hasn't been accepted?

    The system keeps asking me to press 1 or 2, then after I have pressed 1 numerous times, I am cut off

    Okay, thanks. Don't think that has happened to me before. I usually play the whole thing through, press 1 and then wait to hear 'thanks' before I hang up and redial. 
    If I end the call before hearing 'thanks', I worry whether my entry counts or not.
    Anyway I've reached my maximum limit now 🤪😁

    Good Luck everyone 🤞

    It was tough getting through all of those entries 😅😴
  • So do we not have to say “make me a winner this time?” 🤔
