    Competition closes at 3 pm so the call will be made sometime after that and it is later played on the radio

    From previous winners' experiences they seem to call the chosen number between 3pm and 3:20pm, but there's nothing to suggest it can't be later than that.

    Often the call and announcement is made between 3:30pm and 3:45pm depending on the station (I've seen some hear the announcement earlier than I have, and I listen to Planet Rock which usually does the call about 3:43pm-ish) - you'll definitely find out the winner before 4pm, though.

    Best of luck all x
