    Hi cinders, curiosity has got the better of me! if you are ok giving this info - did you win via free entry and was it a lot of money that you won. 


    Hi Bridger. Back in Jan 2020 I won £3,500 from a free entry (unknown number). it was on Wave 105 and only those local to the station could enter so not a national comp. Thanks for what you do.

    Hi Bridger12. When I won from Hits Radio Cash Register in 2019 the call came from a Number Withheld, but since I rarely use a mobile for any other purpose than competitions, I picked up and won just under £24,000. I never use text, always the free entry method.
    Congratulations. Was that when radio competitions were mainly weekly and they would try more than once to contact winners?

    Hi Bridger12, 
    No sorry it wasnt a cash prize, it was a fully Sky Package with Tv and Ipad etc but was a geographical number 
    Thanks to all who post comps :)
