The terms and conditions states the following:-

Irrespective of the whether there has been a winner or not, all entries from the completed Draw, and any previous Draws, will automatically be eligible for the next Draw. Entrants do not need to enter again in order to be eligible but are able to do so if they would like to increase their chances. We reserve the right to vary the Prize for the next Draw.

I wonder if that means you can only enter once online as it clearly states in the terms and conditions, it also states you can enter up to 20 times via text, so if you have not made your 20 text entries you can text again?

At least we know the entries are in the next draw anyway, even if it is only 1 entry across the whole of the competition.

one entry is all you need to win, that will do for me and no need to worry about if you have entered or not.

Indeed.

If you look at the terms and conditions for Tell Us The Total, (https://planetradio.co.uk/absolute-radio/competitions/win/tell-us-the-total/), and the previous for Cash Register, (https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6267921/e-27-08-3-00pm-win-cash-register-england-4-entries-starts-17-05-8-00am/p1), It looks like they have removed the following from the terms and conditions: -

Where there has been a winner, a new Prize will be announced on-air and the pool of entries will be reset for the next Entry Period. Entrants will need to enter again to be eligible to win. All previous entries will not be valid for future Draws.

Hi everyone,

I tried and still got that message online entries limit reached. 

  I sent Bauer this email this morning, and they sent me this response:

My Email to Bauer:

I entered via the free online entry for the 3.00pm start date on 6/9/21. I have tried entering free online entry again after 3.10pm and I keep getting the online entry limit exceeded. 

Please can you advise why I cannot enter today and subsequent days until this competition ends via the free online entry route.

Please can you respond urgently 

Bauer response-

‘Thank you for your query.

From 31st August 2021, free entries to the ‘£50k Cash Countdown’ competition, which offers our listeners the chance to win £50,000 every day, will be limited to 1 entry per person.

 This change to the terms and conditions reflects the outcome of one of our regular reviews to ensure our competitions are entertaining, fair and in line with the guidelines from our regulators.

"You've already entered this competition - but don't worry, your entry is automatically included in every draw until the end of the competition (please see Item 4 above). So sit tight and you could be getting a call!"

is the message I just got when trying to enter again. They have changed the entry pop up to match with the above.

Day 2- 3 rings gent picks up and I think he said hello, presenter asked does he know what call is about and he said winning money.
   Gent said he thought he had won £20,000 or £30,000, presenter confirmed gent won £30,000.  Gent said are you joking and that he was shaking. Gent said will takes kids away and does not have a clue where.

Day 3- 5th ring lady says hello, presenter informs lady she has won £10,000, lady days you are joking.  Presenter say no not joking. Lady says oh my goodness, thank you so much I’m going to cry. 

  Presenter says to lady she picked up just after the 4th ring. Lady says she was not going to answer because she did not know who was ringing. 

  Lady says no idea what she will do with cash and I think she said take little dog for a hot tub retreat. 

   (Lady saying she nearly did not pickup because she did not know who was ringing makes me think it could be No Caller ID they ring from, or it might just be lady did not recognise telephone number they were ringing from)
