Anybody won one of those car lotteries?

Just for fun, I have contacted them and will publish the reply. They aim to get back in touch within 20 days but I won't hold my breath. In the meantime, I will continue to buy tickets 
They'll probably tell you that as they, supposedly, accept free entries they are a prize draw not a lottery and are therefore not covered by the GC. Complain to the ASA ASA only ones who have been interested and done anything in the past. Without a concerted effort by the GC to gather evidence that these sites simply don't accept free entries nothing is ever going to happen. I'm guessing the GC are stretched enough as it is, looking at the fines they are dishing out to 'actual' gambling companies, so are not likely to look into a whole load that may not even come under their jurisdiction if found to be compliant.
It's one hell of a loophole to be fair, but even the loophole appears to being abused to the max (anecdotally, of course).

I think that as the sheer number of these sites has just blown up so much, especially since the Covid lockdown they will come under some sort of scrutiny It's one hell of a loophole to be fair, but even the loophole appears to being abused to the max (anecdotally, of course).

A guy on Facebook earlier said he had bought max tickets for the lambo on dcg (£750)
To me that’s just mental
He didn’t win
That is mental. I'm all for a punt for a chance to win something nice but that is just crazy money with those odds. Personally I just don't bother playing for these low ticket price high odds comps. People think that buying 10 tickets increase their chances 10 times which statistically speaking it does but on a 100k ticket draw it could still be 99,990 drawn before any of yours get picked.To me that’s just mental

A lot of their retro hot hatches recently haven't been my thing, too many silly mods or high number of tickets. But that car looks very lovely.Oh look, DCG have put up a mint S1 Rallye.....

But weird asking for Men's UK Size 12.
Probably not in this day & age Going off on a tangents - did anyone see Robbie's Birthday card he showed on a live draw last week from some long time female player? Something along the lines of "you give me fanny flutters". Very bizarre. I doubt it would be laughed off if a male player sent the equivalent "I got a boner" to Robbies wife
