    I dont get why you would click for 10. If you know it is broken why keep going???

    Have just tried it again here and half time getting a sorry you havent won then other half getting you have won with codes. I have kept a copy of my code from 1.25pm and DHs from around the same time.
    Does anyone know what time it started going loopy as I had been clicking and last one I saw had 'won' was 1.20pm

    I would be very shocked if they honoured even one per household. it is a glitch, there will be 1000's households that have 'won' one over the weekend so they will just send us a sorry message otherwise it would cost them a bomb. They have no need to send us anything and they are covered in the terms. Promotions have a set budget they are not going to go and purchase thousands of extra cameras due to a computer error..?


    :confused::confused::confused:why would you be shocked as there system i would think will only have the total number of winning codes on it I would believe so maybe when total gone it will stop etc who knows only they will and as I say sure they added more on in Virgin snap not 100% sure how they worked it all out and same people and yes believe all were honoured

    Evening all.

    I've been out all afternoon eating, shopping and going to see The Hulk. I won a camera on my last click just as I was going out the door at about 1pm but having read the thread, I can see I probably won't be getting my 'win' after all. :rolleyes: :(

    Oh well, at least I know I'm not doing anything wrong now and it is possible to win on my PC! :rotfl:
    2017 Wins: £200 (Total since 2008: £43,827! :shocked:)

    Because this has been going on for hours with people winning with every vote! some people have apparently entered 10+ times each..theres way over 280 'winners' I'd say thousands already quite possibly! I think the computer programme generates the code when there is a winner, so in which case it could go on for an infinite amount of times until they fix the problem... 1000 cameras at say even £25 each bulk buy is loads of money, its just not going to happen.
