Friday - 2 rings gent answers make me a winner and wins£125,000. Gent says you made my week, money go to pay off mortgage and a little holiday.
Monday- £50,0008 -
Yes, I agree..... I also feel that if there hasn't been a winner all week then on Friday they should keep ringing until somebody winsIainHL said:Does anybody else find it disconcerting that Tatum (the presenter) keeps saying how the number called "only entered an hour ago"? This edition of the competition has been running for that long I would expect far less of the numbers picked to be recent entries.
It also does seem a real shame that there are so many no pickups/voicemail/hellos when there are so many of us here who would happily relieve Bauer Media Group of their money!2 -
There is no business reason to change, each day it is not won the jackpot gets higher with only a small additional cost to the promoter but they will get even more entries than the previous day (time and time again figures show bigger prizes attract more entrants.)SarahBert said:

On many occasions they do not mention when someone entered so it is likely they entered some time ago as saying someone entered 5 weeks ago would not encourage entries unlike if it was a recent entry that won.2 -
Due to so few saying make me a winner, surprised that cash on Monday is £50,000 when winner today won a huge £125,0005

For Monday's draw, it's 16 times online again.

Because someone won on Friday they don't need to offer much to encourage people to text message paid entries.Bridger12 said:Due to so few saying make me a winner, surprised that cash on Monday is £50,000 when winner today won a huge £125,0002 -

Oh, do you mean we can enter up to 16 times online for nothing?
Yes that's correct.
