odds are still complete shite so may as well give the money to charity instead of royal mail!

Yeah you’d have to spend £1000’s to give yourself any decent odds of over 50%. Think they’re up to 70k entries

Just been to my local co-op and every single block of Worthy Cheddar had the comp label open. Makes you realise how much the odds are stacked against you when I’m only entering 2-3 each month! 
Clearly I need to eat more cheese

Had a lot of luck with this one in the past but not the main prize yet … last year I won 2 tents … chances of winning something seem fairly good

Looks like it’s a diet of Worthy cheese toasties and cloudy lemon cider for me until resale day 😂

Just to let people know, if you order a case of bottles rather than cans from Brothers, it's one code per bottle, not per case.

To that end, if anyone wants a code for 50p off a bottle of Brothers in the supermarket, let me know, I've got loads of the bloody things (it's the booby prize).  No tickets, of course.

Do they sell them individually with codes in the supermarkets ? The bonus of buying the boxes of cans is that I can complete my Glastonbury stash

Back in the day, (when licencing laws weren't so .................... beneficial / detrimental - I don't know, you decide, there used to be a place on the Bristol Road, in Selly Oak, in Birmingham, which got around the retail of alcohol after licensing hours for resale. Some, clever  bastard had realised that if you sold 6 bottles of red on a Wednesday morning at 3am, then it was wholesale, not retail, and that the governing rules did not apply.

It only lasted for a while, but the bloke / woman  etc,  then must have had to scarper.

The thing is - the 'rules' in Birmingham 'insist' on you paying the police off - in my humble opinion, of course!

Tesco do. Currently 3 bottles for £5.50 with a club card. No promo ones in my Tesco yet. Will check again tomorrow.

3 codes and 3 x 50p vouchers. Have a feeling I might end up with a lot of these 🤣

Over £1m raised!

Just bought a few bottles of toffee apple from tesco. Won a can cooler. *Woop*

It’s worth mentioning that the prizes are allocated using a prize moments algorithm. It may not be wise to enter all your codes one after the other.

And I tested this rule on my first entry, I won a can cooler, and on the further two entries I won the 50p off.

Bollocks.  That's the only response I can think of.  Ah well, thanks for the info!  I consider myself educated

That's a bit harsh really isn't it. Sorry you haven't won any tickets, but here's a couple of tents you could have used if you had won some 😁

Is it worth ordering them with an online supermarket shop or too risky?
