I'd be really interested to know how many people enter this every day. This is not an accusation towards them by any means, but this thread has been going on for nearly a year had a half and don't think we've heard anything from anyone who has won it? Must be hundreds of thousands as would have expected someone from here to who have won in that time surely?!

It's run across several radio stations.Some local and some national.

There must be at least 75,000 people entering by phone each day just to pay for the prize. Probably several thousand entering free online like most of us here.

Although this thread is long it's mostly the same 20 or 30 people who comment, so the odds of one them winning is very small - but you never know, one day it might be one of us!

There are usually less than 100 people Comp-liment the daily competition posts, not everyone uses it but even so I doubt there is anything like even 300 people entering per day from here. Real money is made from the competitions so the entries need to cover the cost of the prizes and a good profit for the promoter, remember they only get part of the call cost.
I think ITV used to get something like 1,000,000 entries per week for their competitions (when the information was available)

EDIT found the info At one stage ITV were getting 40 million paid competition entries per year, by the time the various BOFOF/3 for 2 etc are taken into account that would be well over 50 million without the free postal entry route.

It makes no difference to Bauer, ITV etc if a paid or free entry wins as long as enough paid entries are made to show a profit

I enter every day but don't use the compliment button and nor do I comment on the post but like reading it and I think there are a lot like me on MSE who do this and I would say more than 300 a day.  I haven't won but I think there may be those who have but won't disclose it on here and not sure I would either.  I also do a paid entry about once a week

There have been an number of threads about the Cash Register radio comps, they have been running for a few years now in various formats, and certainly quite a few MSE members have won and commented over the years (myself included). I am sure others in MSE have also won but do not feel that they want to divulge the information for various legitimate reasons. So don't mind the odds, enter and hope for the best - just remember the amount each day and for goodness sake answer the phone within 5 rings!
BTW, I won just under £24,000 using the free entry method (I never pay to enter).
