We've all seen the fancy cars at the airport and I confess to having bought a couple of tickets on occasion but obviously didn't win. I see the line-up of cars on offer has expanded since I last looked at their website a few years ago. The cheapest ticket now is £3 for a mini cooper S right up to £22 for an Aston.

I was just wondering if anyone else has ever bought a ticket, if anyone on here has ever won or if anyone knows any winners.

Personally, I'm tempted to buy some more but reckon the chances of winning are tiny!

Thoughts?

Is it still basically a game of spot the ball?

As far as I can see from reading the website.

I couldn't see any information on the site as to how many entries they have per game.

At least with the lottery you know just how unlikely you are to win. I'd be more inclined to throw a few quid on the lottery instead, and buy the cars if you win...

I nearly paid for a ticket to win a Lotus once.

I believe there is a pher who has actually won a car on this before.

I used to play this every month, and got several "close" and one "very close", for which you get game credit for another go next month. They did disclose at one point how many tickets would be sold, and I think this is the one that started off where they didn't give a closing date, just said the draw would be done one they'd sold enough tickets. I lost interest a bit when they started doing two draws per month rather than just one - I can't say exactly why.

Yep, my old next door neighbour won a Cayman. Think he'd spent a couple of hundred quid on tickets over the years, but not a bad return. They even videoed the bloke turning up at his house to tell him.

I play quite a lot.

Typically play the £5-£10 ticket price.

Currently playing for the lexus but tend to stick to the 355, RS5, 911, Masser, RR.

It's spot the ball where the judges play too. Whoever's closest to the judges guess is the winner.

Excellent. Give us a hand with this one T.

I just need a 5th X for a chance to win a bag of Frazzles.

Didn't someone on here win a Cayman? Or am I thinking of another forum. Seem to remember someone posting about it about a year or so ago.

My family know someone who won an Elise through this company. She seemed happy enough!

I always assumed it was just a scam.

There's never any fanfare when someone wins. The cars change reasonably regularly to give the appearance they are won. But if anyone does win I would wonder how connected they are to the company directors....
