Are these big money Facebook competitions legit?
Do they tag you on Facebook when you win? Or do you have to keep up with everyone of their announcements

    I keep getting it from a friend on Facebook with the title FINAL HOURS FOR £100,000 🔥
    100 FREE ENTRIES - @highlight

    I think they can make money from the information they can scrape from your Facebook information, but it seems too good to be true.  Is there a genuine £100,000 prize every time and how many enter?  However, my main concern 
    Is that it'll spam everyone else who I've befriended or who've befriended me.

    They are one of many "raffle" type sites out there - for the 100k draw they allow 254999 tickets at 59p so take a  possible £150k from ticket sales.  (Your info has very little value the main aim would be to get you paying to play)
