Omg that's a bit odd that he won. Just seen his account and he's deleted all his entries and entered again today...? Weird! Fingers crossed for some luck today for everyone! 

Nope, those are his entries that include the winning one! Super gutted as it feels almost like I got as close as I did in the secret sale aha.

EE tickets were won, two of us got the right square out of a total of 7 valid entries but it was a random who entered at 8:59am  no other news yet, 2 hours till Thatchers tickets are drawn.

Great to see you've got some wifi!

My boyfriend for the right square but didn't win

3 out of 7 on this forum and none of them picked. Not sure if that makes me more hopeful or less!

Oh I'm so sad

I've entered the other coordinates I used yesterday, because obviously I got lucky... (I know there's no such thing and it's random, but a few straws are all I have left)

I can't decide if that makes us a lucky bunch (for providing a good % of correct answers) or not (getting pipped right on the finishing line by a very late entry). I guess by the very fact we're stuck floundering here in this ever dimishing pool that it's the latter.

It certainly shows that Efesters think alike! It's actually a bit freaky lol!

Probably not-I imagine a large number of people who post on here entered the competition, and each person can enter 3 times so common entries are likely to occur regularly. Only the people who got the correct entry spoke up, so it just seems like it's notable. If it shows anything, it's how many people that enter these competitions are on here (and still hopeful)!

Thatcher comp winners should be being drawn around now, and winners shortly notified. Keep eyes on your phone/email!

The temptation to twist is just too strong. I had to change one of my choices anyway so stuck with one and picked two new ones.

[Lucy92]

I went with completely new ones. I still can't believe the boy got it right!!! And didn't get picked

Nothing yet, and not seen anything on twitter so far either.

Kept in the same area of the map, up by the stone circle..... Maybe it was Arcadia yesterday as they announced their line up today.  

Should pick the peel tent, west Holts & pyramid as they should announce their line up soon

[AnniMB]

I've stuck a couple of answers in for the EE comp.  I went mathematical/statistical rather than random, or stage location etc.  Who knows? Hope one of us forumites is lucky anyway.

I thought that when today's winning location got announced but all the individual stages that do their announcements have now already done so haven't they? It's just the big one to come now so it's anyone's guess now (hopefully one of mine obvs).

If you find a winning square that's where you should pitch your tent when you go!!

Absolutely. Your tickets are buried there somewhere so you'll need a camp to store your equipment whilst you excavate the area.

How'd you pick which ones to go for then?

Imagine they actually buried the tickets there, in a crystal maze style challenge with cryptic clues 'n all  I'd be game!

Imagine your winning square was right in front of the Pyramid stage - Security might have a problem with that!

'But EE said I had to camp here!' 'Oh, well, alright, but could you move your tent to the right a bit, Matt Bellamy's coming through here later on a hoverboard'

It has been tried in the past and, yes, Security were on it v quickly!
