30 tickets out of 20k or something, spent what almost £250 on tickets, quite a lot. Insanely lucky that, and a coincidence ey i wonder how many of the comp companies win off each otherEdited by Suubzer0 on Tuesday 30th April 13:46

I will say this: these companies, if they know what they’re doing, will be monitoring rival companies comps. Prizes/ticket sales/odds etc. Off the back of that data, they’ll be aware of undersold comps. Whether they allow access to that data to employees, I don’t know, but if they do, it gives them an advantage on throwing their ticket money at the best odds. That’s the only legit way, anyone has, of bettering their chances.
So in order to increase the chances of winning open a rival raffle company (-:

Thats what I usually do, keep an eye on whats undersold and spend my 99p close to the end, hasn't worked soo far

£199 per ticket, maximum of 30 tickets per entrant.
Or use 30 free postal entries to get nearly £6000 worth of tickets for ~£30.
Their terms state they won’t acknowledge a free postal entry has been received, is that their get out of jail free card to ignore them all?
I entered that with a postal entry and just won £1000 on instant win prize, not quite the Porsche but hey it's something £199 per ticket, maximum of 30 tickets per entrant.

I've tried the postal enrty with Dream Car Giveaways for past 3 weeks, but so far no success.
Week 1. Sent 2nd class in an envelope on Monday for the sunday draw. They say it never arrived.
Week 2. Sent 2nd class on a postcard on Monday for the sunday draw. They say it arrived on Wednesday the following week, after the draw had taken place.
Week 3, Sent 2nd class on a postcard on Monday for the sunday draw. This could still arrive and be processed by Sunday.
I will try one more time using a 1st class stamp but seems a waste of time so far.
For reference I have bought plenty of tickets in the past but thought I would give this a go.

Don't bother, they never process them. I know 2nd class is a little slower but them claiming it took 9 days to arrive is a joke!Week 1. Sent 2nd class in an envelope on Monday for the sunday draw. They say it never arrived.

That’s very disappointing if they can’t be bothered to honour a simple promise that they have to do by law then where else might they be cutting corners Week 1. Sent 2nd class in an envelope on Monday for the sunday draw. They say it never arrived.
