My prizes often go to the school or football club raffle and my neighbours, family and friends! And thanks for taking part in FoodbankAdvent! I have noticed when I enter free competitions expecially spin to win I get lots of spam messages and phishing phone calls. All it takes is entering one dodgy prize draw, and your contact information sold on to a company, and unfortunately that can lead to hundreds of people getting your details!
I tend to block any callers like that straight away. Hi Su. The chance of winning a prize albeit a much smaller prize! Thanks Di really useful, obviously the more times you enter the more likely you are to win but how many times roughly do you enter the same competition by sending a postcard?
Just once or more? I think most people only send one per competition, otherwise it could end up getting quite expensive. As far as I know though, you can send as many as you like! Yes, absolutely! The front of greetings cards, bits of cardboard or the back of product packaging are all fine to use and might even get you Brownie points with some promoters for recycling!
I would try and keep them to around A6 — regular postcard sixe — though! It came just after I started applying online instead of by phone text and at the time I wondered if this was co-incidence. I wonder what the incidence of BIG prize winners is online as opposed to phone entries?? Hi Di — I write well type all mine on one A4 piece of paper, then fold it in half so as the address fits in the window of the envelope — is this Ok?
Now I know i was wrong, thanks so much! Would be really helpful to know the number as I have had numbers from London calling but have not answered in case of spam.
But I have been wondering if it could have been for a competition I entered. I did here from a winner that a number and message were left for you to return the call. Most of the TV draws ask you for name and phone number only so you may treat a winning call as a scammer or spammer. They may leave a message or they may ring back once more but will probably choose another entry to be their winner.
Andrea would know if this is correct. I stockpiled nice normal size postcards in the 90s when lots of public places had them and always use these for free prize draws. If I had, for some reason, to use an LWE. I would put all the info on the front.
I have won stuff because the promoter liked my card. Quite against the rules but who am I to argue. Di would know. Thanks Sylvia! Your email address will not be published.

Competitions on ITV usually invite viewers to enter by phone, text message, the channel's website or by post.
Postal entries are usually free, although some require the purchase of a postage stamp. ITV reviewed every broadcast competition it had conducted since after it discovered there had been an issue. Text to win is a term used for sweepstakes or contests that are run entirely through text messaging. People enter text to win contests by texting a special keyword to a 5 or 6 digit short phone number called an SMS short code.
