  • i was under the impression that once you had entered a code it stayed in the draw ad infinitum, unless you won of course.
    i am sure it stated this in the small print.
    why is there only one monopolies commission?

    No - a code doesn't stay in the draw ad infinitum as far as I am aware. Once you have put it in it goes into that 5 minute draw and that is it and then it all starts again for the next 5 minute draw. If you enter the same code again it says what draw you have already entered it for and whether you won or lost. (I have texted so many that I have done a few twice by accident and that is the reply I have got)

    After reading all the posts with maths ( :eek: Maths! :eek: ) I can't make up my mind what to do with my 48+ codes (see top of post :p ), should I wait a few days / week or two then try over a few early morning time slots? Or try to fit as many into a 5 min slot as I can? :confused:

    Spread them about - in the same draw you are competing with yourself and every entry you make decreases the odds of winning (as you are increasing the number of entries in the draw), and you have the possibilty of winning twice.

    Looking at this http://81.29.80.207/draw_entry_counts.xml

    They are coding it differently I think, the draw entry amounts are now huge!

    eg

    <record value="1,2005-01-10 00:00:00,188160" />
    <record value="2,2005-09-01 00:05:00,254880" />
    <record value="3,2005-09-01 00:10:00,226320" />
    <record value="4,2005-09-01 00:15:00,201840" />
    <record value="5,2005-09-01 00:20:00,186960" />
    <record value="6,2005-09-01 00:25:00,176400" />
    <record value="7,2005-09-01 00:30:00,164400" />
    <record value="8,2005-09-01 00:35:00,153360" />
    <record value="9,2005-09-01 00:40:00,142080" />
    <record value="10,2005-09-01 00:45:00,140400" />
    <record value="11,2005-09-01 00:50:00,130320" />
    <record value="12,2005-09-01 00:55:00,131280" />
    <record value="13,2005-09-01 01:00:00,125040" />
