Does it run every week or is there only one draw per series?

I can't think that its every week, how would it pay for itself?!

It looks like a lot but if you tally it up it only comes to about £5-10k. Most daytime TV shows have competitions of equal value to that.

I know someone who won it.

The amount of stuff he got was crazy. He's pretty much blind though so gave most of it away. :rolleyes:

I once texted in the wrong answer to a simple question, I knew the answer but had a brain malfunction and put an a) instead of a b) it annoyed me so much I sent the right answer in 3 times and still didn't win, now they spam me with texts and I sent a word STOP like they say but it fails every time *****!!!!!!!!

Every week......i presume the stuff is second hand to a certain extent as companies are sneding their products to them to test hoping they feature on the show. I would quite happily keep a lot and sell the unusual stuff. I can see why people dislike the show but i look at it as entertainment first.

In the same vein as someone buying a car based on a Top Gear review!!

Nah it's all brand new in sealed boxes.

If they appear on the show the company who makes the product will then agree to provide a certain number to be given away as prizes.

If I ever won this, most of it would go straight onto ebay.

Not because I didn't want it...but because I simply don't have the space for it all. Good god.

Won stuff at gadget show live but never from the series. I would keep as much as I could but most weeks they seem to give away multiples of things so most mutliples would be flogged.
