    It was a man. Im still wary that anyone who enters would make the hello mistake but then again i know its murky waters to challenge on this given the strict regs that this competition would have. Its 160 grand that they dont have to pay out though!

    Thank you! I didn't enter today but I had entered on Friday which made me think. I've been getting between 1 and 4 spam calls every day from entering competitions so I just assumed it was spam again but I suppose given the time I shouldn't take the risk next time.

    Thank goodness for that, my worst fear is saying hello and missing out on such a big sum

    Looks like 24 entries for tomorrow - either that or I’ve messed up 4 calls!

    Yes. 24 entries not 20.

    I don’t know what sort of comps you enter to get spam calls, I have never had spam calls from entering competitions only ones that say congratulations you have won.
    I do it just for fun and whatever I win is a bonus

    Over the years I've noticed a correlation between the times when I'm entering lot's of competitions and spam calls and then the breaks I take and I receive none. Could just be unlucky but someone seems to be selling on my info.
