From T's & C's :

"A maximum of 1 entry per person per day and a maximum of 66 entries over the promotional period is allowed. Any additional entries will be disqualified. Persons using multiple mobile numbers to enter will be disqualified."

Also:

"Promotional Period: This promotion is open from 00:00 on 12.03.2021 to 23:59 on 16.05.2021"

Would that be from midnight tonight then I wonder?

I got the same response, I woul have thought 00.00 on 12 would mean it should be open but it must mean from tonight as it said its not open yet

"A maximum of 1 entry per person per day and a maximum of 66 entries“
=> 12/03 to 16/05 = 66 chances
If the competition is not opened yet, does it become 65 chances ?

I got the same when trying again just now for texting BPM. Said quote limits reached. I'll get my partner to try later he didn't text it yesterday.

I got my partner to enter tonight, he hadn't entered yesterday but he still got the same reply saying it isn't open yet.

Used their contact form and got nothing back.

Surely seeing it on the coca-colahellenic website is enough!?

The ‘win-a-whiskey-cask’ (Irish times) competition is quite possibly the most bizarre but equally intriguing competition prize I have ever come across

Out of curiosity I checked their website and a cask could set you back between €3000 and €8000 (approximately) :eek:

I hope one of the regular posters in the competition thread wins it

I wonder what the situation on paying duty on that would be. Fuppin loads would be my guess but no idea really.

Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

The terms and conditions note that they will buy it off you at the end of the bond period.

The winner reserves the right to exchange their cask for a cash equivalent of 3,150 Eur, however it cannot be exchanged for cash until 29th March 2026.
The winner is solely responsible for any customs, excise duty and other taxes incurred by removal of the cask from the bonded warehouse.

It's a €500 voucher, I have the following:

E. C, M, O, A, R so we need two more (could actually be 2 x letter 'E' as they seem to be all over the place), I'm Guessing, that it might be 'HOMECARE'

Suggestions etc in the Discussion thread:

Ya Homecare is what I went with. E seems to be on every page so I had to try and ignore that and go with their clues

Just had a delivery of a hamper from the “Thanks a thousand” promotion. Lots of nice things like crisps, chocolate, tea, brown bread, flapjacks.

My mam got a lovely surprise delivery of one these hampers today. She's thrilled!:)
