When entering multiple times in rapid succession the Captcha algorithms test more and more aggressively to check if I'm a bot, to the point where it becomes most frustrating. I use a VPN (a free one, like Windscribe) to continue at that point, and to Captcha my perceived IP address is different making me look like a new user. That will generally allow me many more entries without a Captcha appearing before it starts again. 

I wonder if there is anyone we can comment to or complain to...Who?

Please don't complain about the captchas to the competition organisers.

They use the captchas to prevent bots entering. If they make it easier to enter, it's easier for bots to enter so less chance for one of us to win.

Plus, if they get a flood of complaints, they might decide to restrict free entries to one a day. Again not good for us. I don't suppose they are remotely concerned that compers are struggling to get their free entries in by 3pm. They make their money from the text messages not from free entries.

As has been said before, there are workarounds including entering more slowly, not trying to enter all 18 entries in quick succession, spreading your entries over different browsers or using a VPN (many free ones available).

I think we should all just live with it and be thankful that we get free entries every weekday to win a life-changing amount of money.

Or you could pay to enter by text?

Why can we not talk about it? There are conversations here that make me want to pull my hair.

I have a problem with my hand. Why can I not  say what I want?

After the amount of stupid reads I have to go through in order to get some info that I might need, why can I not say something?

Leave the sermon for those times!

We are all grateful here, very grateful !

You might not have issues with your hands,  I do !

Call was answered within 5 rings today and a man answered. Hattie asked for his name and he gave a women's name. He then handed the phone to a lady called Annette. Call was then terminated as the rules state you have to answer your own phone within 5 rings.

I assume Annette entered the competition.

Does that mean we have another roll over so the entries from Thursday to now carry forward or since someone answered it resets?

Monday- today’s call played a bit later than normal, I just heard last bit of call at 3.50pm. 

  Presenter mentions £126,000 and it is a rollover so I am assuming no pickup. 

   rollover on Tuesday, all entries since winner on Wednesday in draw on Tuesday-  (Thursday entries, Friday entries, Monday entries, plus Tuesday entries in draw on Tuesday)

Ok that's brutal.

Zinger, thank you for your update. Agree a bit brutal, if they are a couple and share phone and both enter using same phone number, how was chap supposed to know who call was for. Makes me think, though they must have a rule one phone number only one person can enter using phone number.

It's not "brutal" the T&Cs are clear "...the entrant must answer their phone..." if they had allowed the call to stand then that would have been unfair to everyone else who had entered whose entries all get another chance tomorrow.
