    I'm sure there are worse run competitions out there but the bulmers comp at the moment to win a free bottle is ridiculous.

    You can only enter one code a day, mostly a losing code. Then if you do manage to win a bottle, you've to claim it within an hour and some pub even though it says there part of the comp don't even know what it is or might not accept the code!

    Why even bother running a comp if it's so restricted. Should just do something under the bottle cap, winner or loser and a code for the pub to check and claim.

    Ryan air scratch card things. To actually win the jackpot you would need to be lottolike lucky.
    There is also only one card per year with the chance of winning the million euro, but if you are lucky enough to get this card, you are then invited to choose from 125 envelopes, only one of which has a cheque for 1 million euro. The million euro will only be won once every 125 years

    Yeah I heard about that. To even get the ticket pulled out from all the tickets in Europe ! Then an envelope!

    That competition to win a car you had to drink the most water. Think a woman died.




    Also Apu's whacking day competition really backfired.

    When an Audi dealership in Galway ran a Facebook competition that was won by a woman who didn't have a Facebook account.
