Really hoping this wasn’t me! I did get a call about 4:28 yesterday that I missed from a London number, but it seems like that might be a bit too late for them to call given if I did win, they’d need extra time to get the segment on air at the usual time. At least that’s what I’m telling myself haha. Would definitely be good to know for a fact they call between 4:00-4:10 which would make the most sense to me.Bridger12 said:Wednesday- 5 rings no pickup, £110,000 not won today.

I guess I will never know! When I call the number back, just get a “this person is not available” message in an American accent after a few rings, so no clues there. Perhaps it is better not to know!Bridger12 said:Hi elusiveman, lines close 4pm so call is after, but I am not sure exactly when as the call is played 4.45-4.52pm2 -
They usually call from a "Withheld/unknown number" - and appear to call not long after lines close but could call any time up to the time the call is broadcast.elusiveman said:

I believe that the comp opens for the next days entries at 4.10pm and the winning call will be made before this. It has always been said that the call is made at about 4.05pm and recorded but, of course, not played live (this can vary) until about 40 mins approx latermjm3346 said:
