    Hello - I am a first time poster to this forum but have been “lurking” for some time - it’s very useful for finding out what happened (thank you JamboDP) as I’m one of those awful people that can’t stand to listen when I know it’s not me.  I started trying for MMAW telephone entry around July last year but I never do many entries - the most 5 a day.   I think it is taking over my life now  :# - Last night I dreamt I won but they said the prize was only  £35k and gave me a cheque! When I argued the point that the pot was now £130k they wouldn’t believe me until I showed them this forum.  Then they relented and said they would transfer £140k! I was so excited - then I woke up  :’(.     Ah well, back to the phone entries for today  :D.  Good luck everyone (but mostly selfish old me  :) )

    What time do people look at their phone after 3pm willing it to ring please.
    Thrifty Till 50 Then Spend Till the End
    You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time

    3pm onward. Usually until 3:20pm, but I hold it close until the announcement around 3:40pm... because I dare not risk losing out lol

    I expect there will soon have to be special counselling sessions set up for “Make Me a Winner Traumatic Disorder”  :D  :).  Especially people who miss the call or say Hello!  I can’t imagine what I would do if that happened to me!! I’m going on holiday soon so I think I will stop and have a break from having to worry about it.
