I do not believe that they call someone every day. It is guaranteed that there will be a £200,000 winner on Friday so they is no chance of anyone winning before then. I think they might call one of their team that they know will not answer to fool people

I have thought that as well

I think you are wrong because
1 - they do not select the number to call (it has been posted before how it is done)
2 - it would not be worth the risk of being caught given the money they are likely to be making from each competition (probably one reason why ITV self-reported when they discovered a few free entries had been missed out from a tiny number of their competitions).
3 - it would harm the integrity of the competition and potentially reduce the number of paid entries in the future

Also, the prize amounts, although phenominal to most of us, are pretty trivial to a large broadcasting organisation like Bauer

I doubt it as that would be fraud.

I remembered that while out for a walk and also that the prizes are a tax deductible expense (marketing),

Bauer 2.2 billion Euros in annual revenue

They have already said it will have a guaranteed winner.

I am just going to be honest, it has got to me that the amount posted for the next day has more likes than my call post which obviously takes me much longer. 

  As I feel not appreciated, I will no longer be posting the call. 

  today lady answered and won the £170,000
  good bye

You're always very much appreciated by me.  I often read it out to the Mrs when she comes in from work.
