I'm genuinely not playing for a while now, I've added up that I spent near £200 on DCG over a couple of months.

It's just too easy to click and spend £30 on a few tickets.

When the fun stops. Stop. After the M4 on Revcomps I think I'm going to stop playing for cars and start on watches and tech and try and calm down on my spending.

Local guy to me (Aberdeenshire) won the Sonoma Green RS4 on DCG last night

That's four vehicle winners in our local car club/web forum from DCG alone in the last couple of years.

I’m in for a few tickets on the Xclusive Comps RS3 Saloon Vorsprung which ends tonight. Hell of a car, and with free insurance and a year’s fuel too, drive for a year then sell.

Nice car that - There seemed to be a disproportionate number of winners from the Northern Islands a while ago, as in, a lot of petrol heads buying a lot of tickets!

Whoever wins the Red EVO on DCG better prepare themselves for the incoming swathes of 'hope it last's longer than the last one mate!' in the comments section smile

Yeah, it does seem like that from time to time, there are a few winners all about the same time in the Outer Hebrides or Orkney/Shetland

The guy who won the RS4 had 4 tickets bought on a whim, he shared earlier on the club forum.

Goes to show doesn't it, you don't have to spend a fortune to win....the car my brother and I jointly won was a very wise £13x 2 investment!

I could be wrong but it looks like someone is betting big on the cars/cash on Elite this week. Multiple tickets on the highest numbers for the A45 (£250 a ticket) and the RS5 (£47.50) they’ve also bought out the highest numbers on both plus 30k and 50k as well.

I have stop buying tickets due to high price and there are number repeat winners it looks like families or groups are buying bulk tickets on that site

I did wonder, i saw the A45 and spotted they’d sold a few and noticed the block of numbers which looked odd, then looked on the others and saw the same thing. Elite seems to have the same people winning over and over again, no doubt with lots of entries which i guess isn’t surprising as there isn’t much limit on ticket numbers. The A45 has 199 tickets and you could buy 50 tickets, not a bad way to spend £12,500 IF you win.

That's postal entries, the end numbers are always allocated, I think because the most popular choices are lower ones

Yup Elite always allocate postals to the last numbers, have done so for years. You can get a pretty good idea of how many they process (and when they stop!) if you follow them closely, some interesting patterns. I say this as somebody who had quite a bit of free time during lockdown smile

The website is very incomplete, links to social media don’t work, copy write year has typo, ‘po box under construction’

Big fat red flags, treat with caution- that was after a 20 second look. If that’s a new site no way they’re selling enough tickets for those massive prizes . Name is also so generic.

Maybe I’m cynical.

Edit, no I’m not, just read the t&cs lol. Postal entry route under construction by the way. Letter box must be on back order.

According to Facebook they’ve been around since 2018 with 35k followers - “The UK’s Leading Competition Company Since February 2018”. Minimal amounts of views/like on videos and pictures. Twitter says the same yet no posts at all. PO Box is under construction as already said and some links work others don’t.

Seems odd to me, wonder if they were created from the ashes of another company
