Tuesday- 2 rings lady hello, enters every single day,

Presumably on the free entry route?

What do others think?

Given the number of paid entries they must get to cover the value of the prizes (they don't get all the costs of a text) and make a profit there are almost certainly callers who make one or more paid entries every day

Does the national lottery offer a free entry route? Nope - & look how many euromillions tickets are sold every week @ £2.50 a go …
Some people will pay to enter every day in the hope they win … especially when they don’t even have to think about it or hand any money over … it’s just a simple text & it’s added to the phone bill …

"look how many euromillions tickets are sold every week @ £2.50 a go"

Perfect example of how many entrants think - jackpot of say £8,000,000 has exactly the same odds of winning as a jackpot of  £120,000,000 yet the larger jackpot has loads more entrants - £8,000,000 not enough for most people? ITV use the same thinking to attract entrants to their competitions now with many of them combined across shows and having longer entry periods

& don’t forget about them “forgetting” about free entry route entires that were on a separate spreadsheet ….

You only need one entry if it is your lucky day.
