E: 30/9/05 Win Ipod With Walkers Crisps (MERGED)

orange_2

Damn, i feel sorry for you people who've entered 100+ codes and still didn't win. I tried entering 64 codes into 13 draws between 2 am and 4 am the night after i won and didn't win anything. I must've spent like £15 on this competition already. It's pretty addictive. I'm going to start limiting myself to only entering through the crisp packet codes, or else i'm gonna end up spend a fortune.

I missed the call for my win and the person didn't call me back. I ended up having to call up the Walkers helpline. I'm sure many other people have had to as well. It's pretty obvious where they're making their money.

Whoopee, I'm a winner

Yes, 3.26pm won an Ipod.

Used a npn code after having changed my tactics. Previously I had entered about 10 codes for some 5 minutes periods, but decided to text 1 code at a time during my working day.

Had the mobile on silent, so not to have it bleeping all the time in the office, and was lucky enough to see it lit up displaying private number. Answered, not expecting Walkers, but was well pleased.

Will now have to try and stop texting

There are quite a lot of them.

Ah, well that makes more sense! No conspiracy after all then

The stats are available again, however they have changed the entry count to a decimal number (to 14 places) and they are changing the multiplier for each day of data. I've been able to work out the following so far (using known correct totals from http://nyx.netherworld.org.uk/ and http://www.wa-kers.h15.ru/cgi-bin/index.cgi)...

2005/09/01 = 2619.08
2005/09/02 = 2447.36
2005/09/03 = 2351.58
2005/09/04 = 2588.07
2005/09/05 = 2551.44
2005/09/06 = 2617.06
2005/09/07 = 2643.43

So.. any ideas boys and girls?

I'm stuffed eating Pickled Onion crisps.... and I still haven't won an ipod. If they offered eat your weight in crisps and get a free Ipod, I think Walkers would be onto a winner.....

i can't believe what lengths the wa-kers at walkers are going to hide the entries - they've actually re-written the flash script to try and hide it.


i'm not particularly good with flash but perhaps someone can work out what's going on - here's the script contained in the flash file from http://www.winwithwalkers.com/Flash/WalkersIPod.swf:

i have noticed that Apple no longer sell mini ipods direct from the web site so the value of these will probily drop very soon.

This is unbelieveable, looks like people who text @ the most busiest times during the day with 1 code WIN????? but alot of people (like me,) spend loads and still no WIN? !!

and then its the other type of people who WIN, AND try n Win AGAIN !!! :mad: comon 1's enough surely............i know i would be 4 me

by the way that link Evil_Pika posted is not working.

bs7 -> Nice one! I'll take a look at it, see if there's any link to the multiplier in there.
