Banksy • Choose Your Weapon Print, by ninja on Dec 13, 2010 12:10:06 GMT 1, i think your too much of a cynic Wiz, i doubt that actually happens. Ok, let me put this then, what if someone who got one at the queue today discovers he/she has also won one in the lottery and decides out of the kindness of their heart to let it go to someone else?, do they simply click on "No i dont want this piggin print cheers" and let it go back into the pot at POW?, just asking.
Somebody on here got one from the queue and his 'dad' got one from the lottery. I believe it was used to pay off some of his student loan, or at least that appeared to be the plan at the time (he went a bit quiet after that but is probably back using a new name at the moment).
There was also an overseas flipper on here who has recently reappared on the forum who got two from the lottery. Well, actually I think it was him and his girlfriend who got them but you get the idea. I know that one was sold quickly but I don't know about the other.

I think emails are landing any moment....though winning chances are akin to getting 4 numbers on the lottery at around 1 in 1000 at best I would guess.
I dont do the lottery but my mate who does it every week has never had 4 numbers in 14 years of trying...so I am guessing anyone who wins is very lucky indeedy

Banksy • Choose Your Weapon Print, by psycho666 on Dec 13, 2010 12:17:38 GMT 1, Will the computer filter the list into the different colours and then randomly pick 25/Red, 25/Blue, 25/Green and 100/Grey.
Or will it just pick 175 (maybe all selecting Red) and then the first 25 get the colour they selected (Red) but the other 150 get to chose another colour?

Banksy • Choose Your Weapon Print, by Happy Shopper on Dec 13, 2010 12:20:25 GMT 1, Would love to know the numbers that have entered for each colour.... just for a Derren Brown style social experiment type interest.
Wouldn't be surprised if most people have gone for Green. Thinking it's less popular... thus making it most popular!
Or, if over 4 times the number of people have entered for Grey, thinking they have the best chance... then they actually have less chance.

i think they all just go into a big spread sheet on excel? and then they just pick names at random.

Banksy • Choose Your Weapon Print, by pokodogo on Dec 13, 2010 12:22:10 GMT 1, Was discussing about how this DRAW/Lottery was conduct with a pal of mine over the week end a techie geek sort of kid he said......
It is possible to send as many email address's to enter a certain comp as you want, they show up as different at the recievers end but when they send out a reply it goes to one main holding email address.
So in brief theres a way to send 10's of thousands of entrys to POW over the weekend and it all equates to one email address (which POW wouldnt know because the ones the computer generates are all individual).........
... now I said hes pulling my leg, but thought about it and its more than possible, I just hope im lucky enough with my one / two entrys (me and the wife).
If its right its yet another flaw in the online lottery and the way POW distribute prints.

Who knows?

Ah who cares and its Christmas. If you do not win you save £450 and if you win you get a print that will either not age very well and look naff in ten years or make a few quid selling it on eBay.
Bit of paper only and life go's on.

Yep, but if the names have to tie up at payment stage then you have a problem.

this didnt happen, people from the UK did win. Saying that there are many more people who live outside the uk than in the uk, so statistically speaking its more likely that the winners will be from outside the uk, viz nbg. haryyh (he posted this already) won one and i know eyesaw did as well....
