    Does anyone know when the last free phone call winner was mentioned? When they first changed to this free entry via phone route we seemed to have a string of them but I haven't heard of many if any at all since. Just curious  :)
    No reason for them to mention it as encouraging free entries instead of paid ones doesn't make much business sense

    I didn't mean the station itself. Sometimes the winner will offhandedly mention that they "text in 10 minutes ago" or it'll be mentioned on any social media/forums.

    As the calls are all recorded the stations can just edit as they wish, leaving in bits that suit them like texting in just before the competition closed etc

    answered after 3 rings and said make me a winner and won £210,000

    £215,000 tomorrow

    Do not wait till nearly 15;00 get all your calls done earlier.

    I am a big believer in fate and if it is your lucky day as long as you have entered you will win. no matter what time you called.
    So it doesn't matter if we do call closer to 15:00 then.
    It is a random number selector they use so it does not matter when you enter, a couple of people have won when entering late but you could have hundreds winning who entered as soon as the lines opened.
    No computer algorithm can ever be programmed to be 100% randomised - tech 101.

    True, but good enough for macro events like competitions.....

    Getting “You have dialled an incorrect number…” on two of the 0330 numbers - anyone else got the same problem?

    I'm getting either "invalid number" or the call just doesn't connect on ALL the MMAW 0330 no's & the same on the WIN+ 20k 0330, since about 11pm
