Wondering if people forget their entries rollover and if winning call is from a withheld number they think it is a scam call and either just not answer or let it ring past the 5 rings.

I think it's not about forgetting.  It's they don't know.  It's how the radio stations rig the "competition" so the "prize" is so high.

Gives a chance of winning a bigger prize the next day. If folk forget they've entered, or don't know the rollover rules, I'm afraid that's just tough.

Etccarmageddon and pate, totally agree with you both. No doubt itv and these radio stations with those paid entries more than cover the cash prizes you can win. Anyway I am still happy they have the free online entries for most of the radio comps, but sadly not itv

There's lots of reasons..try ringing your own phone and see how many rings it takes to actually "ring"

I've got a cheap basic phone that'll ring straight away, my smarter phone takes 4 rings.

Is there any reason why they don't just pick another phone number and keep going until someone answers?  I have my phone with me from 5pm to 5.30pm just in case!!  A couple of weeks back the Planet Rock DJ said that they phone about 10 past 5.....

Because then they'd be giving away more money!

Day 18- 3 rings lady picks up from Bournemouth. Presenter asks is lady driving or anything and lady says she is self isolating at home. 

  Presenter says lots of opportunities to listen out for number. Presenter says Tell Us The Total and lady gives correct 

£35,000.00p and wins.
  Lady says oh my god thanks so much and says she is literally a bit breathless. Presenter says as lady is self isolating at moment, she has a lot of time to think how to spend the money. In background a gents voice can be heard saying whats going on and lady can be heard saying to gent I think she said we have just won £35,000. Presenter said as well to gent that £35k won. Lady says both are self isolating at home. Lady says a family holiday has  3 little ones.
