That Find Copan one - they're looking for mobile numbers and warn about possible expense. What does this mean? Do they send you premium-rate texts or anything?

I'm not entering that competition so this is all just off the top of my head:

The mobile number maybe just so that they can contact you if you win something (though read the terms and conditions and privacy poilcy - some sites will give your contact details to "interested 3rd parties" for marketing purposes when you enter a competition, though almost all of those sites give you the choice of opting out).


The "possible expense" may refer to you using your phone to access the internet during the competition - e.g. if you use WiFi it probably won't cost you anything, but if you have to pay for internet access on your phone then obviously there'll be an expense.

Just won a pink lady shopping bag too.
Thanks for posting the answer

Win A VIP Trip To Paddy Power Chase Day By Aidan on 4:12AM December 13th, 2010
Category: Competitions, Racing

We all remember it vividly I'm sure. The day when our idyllic youthful notions of Christmas were shattered by the harsh reality.
Yes, it was the day when we were told Paddy Power Chase day wasn't a day every year when we got to run after Paddy Power, pelting our beloved boss with egg and pre-packed sandwiches, it was in fact a top notch day of National Hunt racing at Leopardstown. Ah well, if there isn’t one special day for pelting your boss with stuff, let's just do it every day.

The Paddy Power Chase is one of the highlights of the racing calendar in general and the Getting Pissed Over Christmas Calendar in particular. [Legal disclaimer – the getting Pissed Over Christmas Calendar is not an official calendar recognised by any of the world’s major religions, governments or angry spouses]. To celebrate we’ve got a really great prize to give away. We're going to give one lucky Paddy Power customer a VIP Trip for two to Leopardstown for the day. And the best thing about it is, due to our Marketing Team not spending all their money on full page ads in Model Railway Enthusiast Monthly, we’ve got some great extras included. The prize in full is:
- Silver service meal for two
- Complimentary bar for two (not just a bar saying ‘you're looking slick’ – it's actual free booze!)
- Celebrity Tipster (not all that important so we’re sandwiching it in the middle in the hope you'll quickly read on)
- Paddy Power Goody Bag (see Celebrity Tipster)
- Overnight accommodation in Bewley’s Hotel, Leopardstown (nicking the dressing gown optional)
- A €200 free bet
- €200 towards your travel expenses
To be in with your chance of winning, simply tell us who Santa and the two elves are in the picture below. It’s a jockey, a trainer and an owner and to give one small clue, they’ve all been in the news in the last week or so – for good things, rather than drug dealing or attacking Prince Charles and Camilla. Oh! It would be so easy if it wasn't for someone wanting to pull a cracker just as the photo was being taken! Oh well – best of luck.
Send your username and answer to competitions@paddypower.com. We can't give clues on the blog because it’s all wonky at the moment, so check our Paddy’s Little Helper facebook page for updates and maybe a few hints. If you're not confident, don't worry, have a few goes at it.

You’ve got until midday on Tuesday 21st December to enter. In the highly likely event that we get more than one correct answer, the winner will be drawn at random. The Paddy Power decision is final.
