As I explained, the MegaSack members only draw is a separate competition. Hence the second form that only full members can see. The timer is so that you can enter every day. ie. every 24 hours you get to add another entry in the draw. Just like in previous years, the more days you entered the more entries you got in the MegaSack draw.
In previous years, the way I picked a MegaSack winner was first by randomly selecting one of the competition days. Then going to the list of entries for that day and then picking a random winner from that day. This meant your chances of winning the Megasack were maximised when you entered every daily draw. Because this year it’s full members only for the MegaSack big prize we needed a separate draw for you guys. To give you the same multiple opportunities of winning it’s set up to allow you to enter it every 24 hours. As a quirk of the system that means more chances than the 16 days (Week days) of daily draws as you can revisit that form at the weekends and grab youself extra entries there. Visit us every day between now and the draw and you could be in the hat with up to 21 ‘tickets’.
Why? because we want you to visit the site often. We don’t want you visiting on the first day, entering the MegaSack and never coming back. You can do that but you only get one ‘ticket’. Come back every 24 hours and you get more ‘tickets’.
Does that explain things better?
