ITV Competitions

[Andy09]

Is there anyone out there who has, or knows someone who has, ever won a cash prize on any ITV competition such as Good Morning or Dickinsons Real Deal with a free online entry?

I'd say you've as much chance winning with a free on-line entry as with any other.
A while back there was a scandal because people were phoning premium rate numbers to enter these competitions when the winners had already been picked. A few producers got the sack.
Any producer now who wants to keep his job would ensure that all enteries had an equal chance.

Thank you all for your replies, still not convinced it's above board. Andy 09

Some comments here suggest that online entries do win sometimes

Of course another incentive to enter online is that you can get up to 9 entries for each telephone number you submit.

Free online entries have to make sense when some competitions ask for £1.50 if you enter by land-line or Text.
Last year I entered the Mail on Sunday competition online rather than by phone or post, and won a five-day break to the FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

I never understand why so many people enter by costly text or premium phone lines when they can enter for nothing online. Doesn't make sense .....

I don't enter any competitions where you have to pay to enter. What's the point?
I once entered a competition with a free online entry, it didn't even cost me the price of a stamp, and I won a top of the range TV and stand worth approx. £1,500.
We still have it, and its fabulous. They didn't have it in stock, so upgraded me to the next level.
p.s. although I am called The Winner, it's because the week I joined AB, I had won a tenner on the lottery.

Yep I won Dickinsons Real Deal last Feb, £2,400, too late now I've spent it. Online entry.

ann86, not everyone has a computer to enter online

I won Family Fortunes last October with an online entry. I won £5,000, a camcorder and a 4-night trip to Euro Disney which I donated to Wish Upon a Star.

A neighbour won a £5,000 pound diamond ring but as she said the questions are so easy its simply like buying a raffle ticket

[Andy09]

Thanks again everyone, it seems some of you have been online winners so it looks like it's legit. Thanks for all your replies.

[TheWinner]

Can I just send a message to Bendy?

That was so generous of you to donate the trip to Wish upon a star, well done, you should be proud of yourself.

Good luck in your future competitions.
