    Gotta be £100k for the rest of the week surely! I wonder if they will do that thing on Friday where they keep calling until someone picks up

    Hi Hollbeach, totally agree with you and as Jazmeen posted with £506,000 on Friday still to be won I was puzzled why on Monday and today amounts were £91k and £92k and not £100k every day this week.

    I wouldn't take the "£1m Cash Register" amount too literally - I'm sure that if nobody won any day this week until Friday, they wouldn't be giving away the £506k to one person just to get to £1m - they'd just extend the comp again like they have before.

    I don't think it was a round £1m when they first ran this comp was it?

  • No I mean I think on the last day of the competition or on a few of the Fridays they called until someone picked up. 
    Yes I guess it would probably be extended, its probably a big easy money maker for them

    I should have quoted the post I was replying to - I was replying to this one from Bridger12 :smile:

  • The million £ cash register which was under a million!  What a con for those that paid to enter!
  • It went past £1m a few weeks ago and they extended it. Based on Bridger12's calculation they've paid out nearly £1.8m with a further £100k due today. 

    Obviously like most lotteries it's a rip-off for the huge majority of paying customers, but there's nothing misleading in calling it million £.
