Badger - Win a Land Rover competition
I just had a go at this. You get in using a one-shot code from a bottle top card.
What complete rubbish, several minutes of messing around to get registered - didn't seem happy with Firefox.
Having input postcode they provide a drop down box to select house number. I didn't realise that just selecting the number wasn't enough, I needed to press "select" so I pressed PLAY instead. That gave an error message to say "postal address incomplete" but by then the select option had disappeared so I had to reload the page and start from scratch again.
Then the "game" is pure random chance, unless my maths is wrong a chance of less than one in 3 million (and then the incredibly lucky winner has to have kept his "proof of purchase" until the middle of next year to claim the prize).
As a promotional exercise this is counter-productive, the intention is clearly to con the customer, to get the benefit of the advertising but actually make the chance of winning infinitesimally small.
Having lost the competition you then get the opportunity to get a 50p off voucher, I didn't bother.
