  • This has probably been asked before, but do we think that phone calls to Make Me A Winner have as much of a chance of winning as texts?
    I have often wondered the same 🤔
    Just keep swimming!

    Exactly the same chance - it makes no difference to them if a paid entry or a free entry wins
  • Does anyone know what number they call from? Is it a withheld number? I was stuck on a work call at 15:01 and had a missed call!!

    From what I can gather it comes up as "Private Number"
  • Well, it’s another day of 40 phone attempts and no luck. 6-7 months of trying (and stupidly initially only calling me 10x daily). Living paycheck to paycheck and hoping i get my call. Anyone know when the prize money reaches its peak?

    I've been trying for over 4 years with no luck - my husband, too. Parents tried for 2.5 years and gave up when they switched to phone calls, despite it being free to do so on their contracts. I enter every day it's on; it's just become habit filled with hope.

    No idea when the prize money reaches its peak, usually on the last day of the comp (see the T&C's), but often they  extend the competition. When you hear them saying on the radio it's the last week of the competition then you'll know there will often be a guaranteed winner on the final day, and usually a rather large amount. 

    Please note that this is very much like the lottery. Hundreds of thousands play this game. If you really are struggling, please reach out to your local charities or council for help if possible.

    Best of luck.
    Thank you! Im a recovering gambling addict, only myself to blame really. I can get by but it can be a slog!
