Most pc's have autofill on the task bar. This will fill in all personal details except DOB and the security code. Good luck tazsez.

Dont worry. Be happy.

I agree with previous posters, it has been very difficult to enter the competition via the web as of late.

Adding to that the fact that in order to win the money the liklihood is increased/decreased depending on where a person lives and there are no statistics to say what percentage win from web entry.

This all poses more questions than answers in relation to the web entry. Why doesnt the forum moderator answer some of our questions.

Hi, I am new to the forums, Hello!!! I have been doing the free web entry for some time, I always get 30 in just after 3pm without any problem, but rarely get more than five Congrats. Which is a bit low really I think.

Don't dream it, be it!!!

nope, you're doing surprisingly well. Many on here can't get any in on successive days, or often only one or two get through.
Count yourself lucky and hope for the best.

I have to say I highly doubt that there is a bias towards one specific region of the UK, as if this were proven it would be violation of their code of practice or something along those lines.
It sounds much more likely it's down to people's ISPs and traffic at the time you enter.

Just my guess though.

You may be correct but it is extremely fishy to very low to non existent number of winners from Northern Ireland and the equally low number from Wales and Scotland. Birmingham and Bolton seem to be where a lot of winners come from.

That is probably because statistically those areas are where people enter repeatedly, possibly even by phone and web to the maximum.

Lottery winners tend to often come from the north as well.

Try entering at 3pm as the website isn't as busy then.

RE: Original thread posting by Andy (as I've copied above)

I agree with Richard.
Why are there never any official answers to any questions put here ?
I am sure that a lot of the answers by fellow viewers are correct but there have been a lot of unanswered ones here too !

There is nothing there to answer why we cannot get onto web entry

The FAQ are not good enough frankly.

The main questions that we need answered are

1. Why are all the winners located in certain regions.
2. Why is it becoming difficult to enter via free web entry.
3. Roughtly what is the average wins between web entry and telephone entry (is it really random).
4. Why not allow anyone who enters via web one free entry instead of going through the drawn out process of entering up to 30 times.

Richard 77 your last point No4:

What a brill idea, we all know that 9 times out of 10, we get a congrats from 30 and doing the 30 just stops us watching the show. Hope someone listens to you

Hey they closed the competition at bit early today at 17:30, a full 15 minutes before the end of the show. This isn't normal is it?

I wasn't getting anything through earlier and got caught out by the new 5pm Sunday start so was waiting for the lady to deliberate her offers to get my entries in... and then it said competition closed.

Grrr... No success

I actually think you should get 1 free succesful entry for every 10 in a row that you get the security code correct.

they usually close 15mins before the end of the show lejay.
also im sure theres a reason we cant get through online..they expect us (because we cant get through online) to ring them up..therefore we pay money and they get richer!

Why don't I make a few radical suggestions to the moderators of this board who are paid to reply to our concerns.

1. Only allow free web entry on days when free web entry actually has a chance of winning the jackpot.

2. On a day when the jackpot it £15,000. We don't know in advance what the jackpot is but you do as the shows have been recoreded months ago. While I presume that in general we are not eligible to win this type of a jackpot except ion rare occassions. So instead of us submitting forms like idiots on the web why don't you simply close down the free web entry on those days.

I presume in general that free web entry winners only in general receive the smaller prizes which telephone entrants receive both the large and small prizes.

I personally have watched a good few of the shows recently and I have noticed not one winner outside England and to be fair its only in certain regions of England, could we have an explanation.

Could we have some answers to our many questions as the FAQ is simply inadequate.

It would be unlikely AOL is blocking entries. As we have discovered the entrants for this competition have more chance of being successful if they are from certain parts of England.
