have you ever noticed that in spite of the very large population area of London only once in about every 2 years or so does anyone from the London area win!
Don't they ever open the London postbags? makes you think though. Here's hoping after 15 years of trying that this will be the week for a London win!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.It is just pure luck if your entry is one of the first to be drawn "out of the bag". I have won second prize twice during a two month period from the same puzzle in a Sunday newspaper. Once there was a delay in receiving the prize so I rang up. Had a very interesting conversation during which I was told they get approx. 5,000 entries per week. Apparently they get someone to pick the winners by literally plunging their hand in a sack of entries. I was lucky to get chosen twice I know, but that won't stop me entering again.
Why would there be a conspiracy for most winners to come from the Midlands? That is paranoia on your part. From what I was told, they pick entries from UNOPENED envelopes. That entry is checked and if it is all correct, then it is a winner. If not, it is discarded and another envelope picked out. Apart from the two I won in quick succession, I have won several small prizes, many times not for months and months at a time. I do not come from the Midlands, neither am I a conspiracy freak. Bit like Lotto or the Pools, some are lucky to win several times, some from the same area. Doesn't mean a thing though.
