Bridger12 said: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.Bridger12 said: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.9 -
Congratulations. Was that when radio competitions were mainly weekly and they would try more than once to contact winners?pate-ci0 said:

No, don't think so; as I remember it, there was a different amount each day, fairly random numbers like £23803.17p and generally increased during the week, especially if it was a rollover. I won on a Monday I think, the presenter called around about 3.15pm and an edited version was transmitted about 3.40pm. Another member of staff called just before 5pm for bank details, from a shown number, said to call back if any problems, but cash was in my account by the next morning.mjm3346 said:
