I expect this has been asked and answered before but I don't come in every day. I have noticed several times recently that there are not always three winners of the daily mail prize crossword printed on a monday. I cannot believe that they cannot find 3 winners from the hundreds of entries that must be submitted.

[dannyk13]

Maybe the on line winners are not published due to them receiving notification by E-mail.

[fiction-factory]

Well they must be able to find at least 4 winners or dannyk13 would win every day

[fiction-factory]

Is there a 'no publicity' option ?
If you submit online do you have to give your name or just your email address- if the latter then dannyk will be right

[dannyk13]

Contacted Daily Mail and the reason given is that on-line winners are contacted by E-mail requesting an address to sent the cheques to but ,apparently, these winners are too slow sending an address for their names to be published in the relevant issue of the paper.

Thankyou all - especially Danny. The truth is that I am really awful with technology and I did not know you can enter via the black monster. From 1985 for years I entered hundreds of competitions and won dozens of prizes from trips to the US, televisions and lots of visits to places my Grandsons loved. I once called my daughter to ask what a play station was. She said its what your younger grandson wants for Christmas,costs £100 and he is not getting it!! Why do you want to know - cos I have just won one. When it all went to computer I gave up apart from Xwords and my OH does a couple of mag entries. Thanks again

I did not know ypu could enter on line but have read this being referred to on here before - 3 times i have asked about this on here but no one has ever replied. How do you enter on line please ?
In the paper it just says enter by second class post and i can'y see anywhere winners names are published either.

I think you may have to subscribe to be able to enter online, Mail Plus or similar??


I stand to be corrected.

[dannyk13]

Mamyalynne is correct you have to subscribe to Mail Plus (£9.99 per month) .Most of the Mail crosswords are available from there.

[Mamyalynne]

Ta for the confirmation Danny.

Thank you all for the info. I pay 54p for the stamps and hope for the best. Did get 2 X £20 last year. I flatly refuse to use the tel and text message which starts @ £1 and +plus your usual charge. Not a fan of the internet so hope I still have a chance somewhere

[dannyk13]

BEAC, £9.99 per month is less than the cost of a month's papers.

[BEAC]

Thank you again Danny .Yep - I know you are right. BUT -looking at a screen comes nowhere close to reading and physically turning pages. Just love my newspaper - and books even more. B

[dannyk13]

Fair enough

[BEAC]

Foxhaven - the winners are published mondays
