    22 entrys for me today 
    There aren’t any extra entries, only 20, perhaps you have miscounted or forgot to press 1 on a couple of your entries.

    21st call said that I had reached the maximum number of entries.

  • Hi everyone! I've been reading this thread for months now, and always max out my 'free' phone entries, but this is my first post here!

    I just wondered, now that the entry limit has more than halved, does anyone think that this changes the odds of winning? I can't decide whether it would make much of a difference or not...obviously the odds are tiny anyway, but to me, it at least felt like I was in with more of a chance, because fewer people were likely to spend time calling in 42 times....now it just make me wonder if more people would call up and max out their free entries because it takes far less time....what do you think?

    I prefer a high number of free entries to increase my odds, in that the paid text entries will probably not max out and fewer people will enter the maximum times on the free route. 172 entries should give better odds than 20, you really need to be dedicated to do that number.

    I think so too - I'm dedicated to calling up as many times as possible when I have the time! The odds are still slim, but gotta be in it to win it, as they say!

    Are the prizes going up quite a lot from day to day this month? Yesterday it was 50k, today was 100k....usually it goes up by a few grand each day?

    answered after 3 rings and said hello, no winner today

    £80,000 tomorrow and a rollover
    does that extend the competition if noone wins on a given day?
