Sorry to come in 161 pages later with this....

Can someone explain what happens when you win? Is it just the button to the right of the cards you have to click to "Claim this prize"?

So where does disabling the pop-up blocker come into it?

What happens if I click refresh without noticing the "Claim this prize" button - do I lose the prize?

Thanks

I think I'm also addicted to this thread, you are all so lovely, kind and also very funny. I going to miss it when it goes. Thank you all so much.

Yeah, I'm going to miss it LIKE A WHOLE IN THE HEAD! :mad::mad: Only kidding, love you all.

But last night, 3 hours with no prize, clicking from 1am to 4am! :mad: That is the last time I click for more than an hour. I was a zombie this morning and Estate Agent around in a mo, and I had to clean the flat this morning! :eek::eek:

Good luck to everyone today especially the virgins, like myself.

Loads of info in Toniqs opening post, shes done a fab job of keeping it updated.

But yes you can lose the prize if you refresh.

You need to know the time, the cards and the amount to have a chance of claiming.

Windows Live Big Snap clicky

IF you win and there is any issue surrounding the win, do not announce it on mse until the issue is resolved(unscrupilous naughty people lurking).

IMPORTANT make sure pop up blocker is not on or you will lose the prize as its an email pop up form that appears when you win.

Tips to Win

1) Hold down a key ,like ssssssssss then submit (faster than using real words)
2) F5 might work, has for some , again quicker and less finger work
3) Pick a quiet time
4) There are 24 prizes within 24hrs, so if the prize has just gone there still might be another prize shortly, it is totally random
5) Take off pop up blocker!!
6) Keep refreshing (F5) every few mins to see if prize has gone



Wary of this but its Windows live so ill explain,

Just search in the search bar anything you want!

Two cards turn and if they match you win!
Easy!!! Good luck there are thousands of prizes.

Here are the details of the prizes:

Every single hour, 24 hours a day, for 8 weeks, you can win...

• 23 x Virgin Experience Days
• 1 x £500 Virgin Voucher (see below for more info)
• Plus during the promotion one lucky player will win an amazing trip for two to Necker Island in the Caribbean

Virgin Experience Days

These vouchers range from £49 right through to £500. If you win a voucher you can exchange it for ANY Virgin Experience Day of that value so you don't have to stick with the item on the matching cards!

Thanks larzy for additional info xxxx
