Heads up, compers! In order to investigate a technical issue, we've had to move some of the older threads from Game Over into a new category called 'Game Over Archives'. It'll be comps from before 2017, so shouldn't have too much impact on your day-to-day Forum experience. Thanks for your patience!

Hi, I have just seen the notification of your new competition: Cash Countdown.
In the t&c’s I noticed this:
4) If the entrant answers their phone before the end of the first ring, they will win the Prize.
If they do not answer before the end of first ring, the amount that the entrant can win will be reduced.
After the second ring, the amount the entrant can win will reduce further and so on until the end of the fifth ring.
If the entrant does not answer before the end of the fifth ring, they will forfeit their chance to play and no other entrant will be called.
The Prize will reduce by £10,000 after each ring.
Being curious I rang my partners phone which was alongside me, my phone gave me 3 ‘ring, ring’ sounds before her handset started to ring.
If this is indicative of most phones, then surely it is impossible for anyone to win the jackpot.
I would welcome your views on this.
Best wishes.
We'll see if they can be a**ed to answer.
Good luck all.
