I know I bloody haven't - and my blood pressure will be through the roof soon with all the extra salt I am consuming.

Keep getting the 'sorry' emails.

Plus how hard is it to tell a "D" from an "O" on the code?

Tried a couple of times. My new plan is to collect as many codes as possible and then enter them all in the same 5min slot in the early hours one night. My knowledge of statistics is non-existent but I reckon this will increase my odds of winning dramatically compared to randomly entering one at a time. Not too bothered anyway as I'll be giving it to my dad if I win one.

nope done it 3 times.

I thought that if only one person enteres a slot that person will then wins. BUT I dont think it works this way it as there are so many winners as anonomous at the early hours.

Plus I havnt won, even though for my slot the winner was anonomous (just after 1am)

Sod that, in all the time they were doing the offer to win a £5 note or a £20 note, I never won a bean (other than another bag of them), and I eat a lot of crisps. (Can easily go through a 6 pack without flinching after a few jars).

I'd be interested to hear if anyone does win one, or won any readies last time around.

Im worried that once they have your number they will end up passing it round to every tom dick and harry and end up with lots of junk phone calls and text.

Anyone found this, if not I might give it a go as I have a bag everyday with my lunch

A mate of mine at work won one on Tuesday. He's just waiting the 3-5 days for delivery now......

The few times I treid, I just did it online and used an old email address that I check now and then, so if they did start sending junk mail it wouldn't really matter....

I have tried the saving them up theory but have you noticed how the time until the next draw changes? So when completeing the number you might have 30 seconds to the draw, but when you return from completeing the entry there is 1 minute 30 left.

All I can say is that it appears that they are giving away 288 mim-ipods a day. I assume they are getting large discount on them but that is still a lot of bags of crisps to sell!

the iPod Mini is for sale any more, it's been replaced by the iPod Nano. Chances are Walkers knew this and are helping Apple get rid of the surplus stock

Haven't noticed the time changing as I've been texting in.

I reckon the average number of packets of walkers consumed a day must be 5-10 millionish? So I reckon they can afford it!

I have thrown a competition packet away every day without trying to win.

I just forget.
