    Thanks haha... Ive been saving all of the codes and im goin to send them in tonight.... I really hope i win a ipod, But it says on average there is 4-7 people in a draw for a song...at 4 in the morning.
    so say 5x60 = 300, all i have is 40.

    300/40 = 7.5 roughly 13% chance of winning... i think

    Thats not too good at all but anyway best of luck is right!
    Thanks

    My commiserations Stewie. You were indeed robbed. Over how many draws did you enter them? Strange the way there are always 4 entries in each draw.

    Were they all NPN codes?

    T&C's does say one NPN code per day may be entered.

    I know I'm really pissed off about it too. I've only entered 15 codes so far and I've done them all in the early morning and won nothing. nearly everybody else I know nearly always wins a song at least!

    most times I've entered it says there's 8 entries at the same time but changes from 6 to 12 entries also, which I find rather hard to believe at 4am.

    I'm gonna do the same as you "StewieGriffin07" and put about 50 entries in some night. wish me luck!

    First time to really read this thread but regarding Steak and StewieGriffin07's comments regarding entering multiple (or more appropriately "excessively") times in a single draw only to win nothing.

    Does it state in the T&C's anywhere that multiple entries in the same draw (each minute) are accepted? It's possible that multiple submissions of codes in the same draw (one each minute) from the same number will just be counted as one entry for that person in that draw..... do ye get my drift?

    Just look at the people who won at iPod.. they entered one code for a draw. And it would explain the 8 - 12 entries connundrum - 8 phone numbers / people have entered the draw (regardless of how many codes they may have entered)

    I won one iTunes voucher last week but accidentally deleted it. Girlfriend really wants Mark McCabe 'Maniac 2000' off iTunes (DEAR CHRIST!) so any vouchers going around, wing them my way!

    I think that you are allowed to enter as often as you like and you will be put into the draw for the iPod.

    hmm, I don't really understand what you're talking about with the "8-12 entries connundrum"? surely the more you enter the better your chances of winning an iPod are!?

    If you have something like 50 codes I think you're best to enter once per draw for each song - otherwise you'll be spending 2+ codes for each song you may or may not win.

    And if you do have 50+ codes and enter them all, one minute after the other, you'll still have 50 chances in the one iPod draw, which late at night is pretty good!

    What i mean is when they say there were 8 or 10 or 12 entries for the draw in which you entered 50+ codes, they might mean they were 8 (or 10 or 12) people entered in the draw (regardless of how many codes they entered).

    No-one has really addressed my question about does it specifically say anywhere in the T&C's that if you enter more than one code, you will be entered in numerous times (and hence have a better chance of winning)? They love advertising this (to make you buy more Coke) so if it's not mentioned in the T&C's, i would imagine it's one person.. per draw.. per minute regardless of if they sent in 1 code or 50 codes.

    I couldn't find anything in T&Cs but this was in the FAQ. And it would seem to suggest you can enter multiple codes. I wasn't able to copy and paste but here's a screenshot:

    ahh right yeah I get you now but it says, "there were X number of entries in this draw" and it only tells you how many entries were entered in that minute for the song not how many were entered in the hourly draw for the iPod.

    I can't check the T&C's at the minute but I'll check them later but I do think that it's unlimited entry and however many entries you put in it is that number of entries you will have in the hourly draw.

    IIRC it says somewhere (either on the site or on the Ts&Cs) that "one code = one entry".

    That doesn't explicitely mean that you get an entry for every code in every draw, but it does lean in that direction.

    How odd. Iv noticed in the several codes iv entered at random times of the day.. there is ALWAYS 7 entries. I assume this is for the iPod Draw.. but it doesnt make sense. One day, I entered two codes right after each other and each time there was only 7 entries, the number never increased!

    Just to clarify what i mean by my 'X entries in the draw' theory:

    The 'X entries' in the draw refers to how many people entered, not how many codes were entered.

    So multiple codes from the same number would just count as one entry (i.e if you've entered once in the draw for the minute, any further codes you enter for that minute will be ignored)

    It's no advantage to coke to limit you to one entry per draw, you can still only win once, and from what was posted above about mulitple entries it would amount to something close to false advertising if they did. Just because you (or I...) aren't winning anything :)
