My word that is close, could't get any closer if you tried. Commiserations, I would be feeling very mift at that but such is life. Well done for getting that close, my closest has been over 50 pixels away!
You could actually. If it's any consolation you can get the exact pixel then loose because your next closest is further away. 
Ha I never knew you could check how well you did.
I just checked on the free one I did. I was pretty close, but not 1 px close. I thought I'd done a good stab by trying to draw lines from the players eyes (two players looking at the ball) and then picking somewhere in the area of their crossed gaze.
1 px away must hurt!

Well I've passed the uncontrollable sobbing phase! Typical to get so close when I'd ponied up for the 488GTB after getting their mailshot. I just checked on the free one I did.

You know what? I actually think it may well be impossible to win on this UNLESS you have a second choice entry a pixel or two away. Do they ever publish how often this happens?
If you pick correctly, but only have one ticket, you and anyone else who has the same spot have to do another game to determine the winner. I dunno how it works if you all have multiple tickets the same distance away, probably just resort to another game in that instance as well.BOTB TCs said:
Dreamcar Competitions: In the event that there are two or more Entrants with valid and eligible
Entries that are equally close to or exactly match the Judge's Position (each a 'Tie Break Entry'),
the entrants to whom such Tie Break Entries belong, identified by their BOTB Account (the 'Tie
25042016 v1 4
Break Entrants') will participate in a tie break mechanic to determine the First Prize Winner for
such Competition as follows:
(a) Tie Break Scenario 1 – in the event that each of the Tie Break Entrants has made
multiple Entries to the Competition:
in Tie Break Scenario 1, the other Entries to the Competition made by each Tie Break
Entrant using the same BOTB Account as their respective Tie Break Entry will be used
to determine the First Prize Winner as follows - the First Prize Winner will be
determined by calculating the Distance of the next closest Entry to the Judge's Position
(excluding the Tie Break Entry) ('TB1 Entries') made by each Tie Break Entrant in that
Competition ('Tie Break 1'). In the event that Tie Break 1 results in a tie break, the Tie
Break 1 process will be repeated until there are no more TB1 Entries to judge. For the
avoidance of doubt, it is not necessary for the Tie Break Entrants to have made the
same number of Entries. However, judging under Tie Break 1 will cease when there are
no longer sufficient TB1 Entries to compare. For example, if the first Tie Break Entrant
has made a total of 5 Entries and the second Tie Break Entrant has made a total of 10
Entries, judging will cease after a maximum of 4 rounds of Tie Break 1 because the first
Tie Break Entrant has no further TB1 Entries to compare. If a winner cannot be
determined by using the Tie Break 1 process, such tied entrants ('TB1 Tie Break
Entrants') will participate in Tie Break 2 (defined in 5.3(b) below);
(b) Tie Break Scenario 2 – in the event that one or more of the Tie Break Entrants has
only made one (1) Entry to the Competition or in the event that Tie Break 1 results in a
tie break:
the Tie Break Entrants or the TB1 Tie Break Entrants (as relevant) will be asked to take
part in another Spot the Ball Challenge using a new sporting photograph in order to
determine a single First Prize Winner (the 'Tie Break 2'). Tie Break 2 will be entered
and judged on the same terms as the original Spot the Ball Challenge and there will be
no additional payment due. In the event that Tie Break 2 results in a tie break, the Tie
Break 2 process will be repeated with the respective tied Entrants until there is a single
First Prize Winner. If the Promoter is unable to contact one or more of the Tie Break
Entrants or the TB1 Tie Break Entrants (as relevant) for Tie Break 2, within five (5) days
of identifying such Tie Break Entrants (or TB1 Tie Break Entrants as relevant), Tie
Break 2 will be concluded without that particular Tie Break Entrant or the TB1 Tie Break
Entrant (as relevant).
All Tie Break Entrants, including those that we were unable to contact will be automatically
allocated a tie break prize in accordance with rule 7.1(i).
