Lady that won today did mention entering 60 times and I am nearly sure she said she had been trying for years.

Hi everyone and many thanks to all who post updates and information on here and other comping forums, I very much appreciate it.
Each cash register call takes about 40 seconds but I have found (by having a twitchy finger) that if I press 1 as soon as Hattie Pearson speaks and again as soon as the info about network charges starts, the call jumps to checking the number used, trimming off about 10 seconds! My quickest call to date is 28 seconds, not that it's a race. A few seconds here and there adds up... sorry if this has been mentioned before.
Good luck everyone

Yes she said 3 years! Just goes to show that persistence pays off in the end. Comping is a discipline. Consistency is key
