MegaSack 2024 Day 3 – WIN Schwalbe Albert Gravity Pro Tyres

Only just worked out the subscriber entry late as well. As I have to wait 24 hours does this mean I can’t enter today’s Megasack subscriber entry till tomorrow? Can I make up for lost time at the weekend when there’s no daily prize?

It would be a helluva lot easier if the whole giveaway was only for subscribers.

@Mark or anyone can you please verify if all/any of the following is correct? Or if I’ve missed anything?

There are 2 separate widgets on each Megasack day’s page.

Box 1: the daily draw. Any member can enter this, you need to verify your email and then can get up to 3 entries (1 directly, 2 more for following links). This closes at the end of the day (not sure when exactly).

Box 2: Megasack draw, only for paid subscribers. You need to enter your email to log in (ie, to the 3rd party draw software, not the website) but verification is not needed and then you can get one entry for the megasack. This box allows you another entry after 24 hours. It also appears to be the same thing ‘shared’ on all pages (ie, you could submit all your Megasack entries on the same day’s page if you wanted, as long as you wait 24 hours between each).

Further notes:

If you are a subscriber and don’t want the daily prize, this year DON’T wait until after the daily draw’s done because you’ll miss a day’s mega entry. Just enter in the mega box and ignore the first box.

The mega draw being every 24 hours, don’t be late or you’ll miss a day! You cannot do as in previous years and go back to add all your missing mega entries. One per 24 hours or lose out. Also, because it’s 24 hours counted from your entry time, don’t be an hour or so later each day otherwise the allowed entry time gets later each day until you end up skipping a day.

Nearly right. We’ve extended the daily draw entries until 6pm On Sunday now. Apart from day 1 which we’ve already drawn. But each week the daily draws will happen every Sunday at 6pm. This gives you all extra time to enter the daily draws.

You still need to visit every 24 hours to get your MegaSack entries in though as that’s now a separate draw completely as it’s paying members only. That’s to ease the workload at our end (my end) as otherwise I’d have to go down the massive list of all entries and extract the full members for the draw on Christmas Eve. I’d rather not spend hours on Christmas eve with a spreadsheet and manually run the risk of missing someone out.

Look at the timer at the top of each daily box and you’ll see a timer counting down. Once you enter your entry will also show up there.

I know it’s all a bit new this year. It is for us too, ergo the initial glitches (We did test it well, but you can never really know how it will work until you let thousands of people into it). eg. The IP detection system that was meant to stop multiple entries was creating false positives that stopped some people entering, so we’ve turned that off.

There’s been many thousands of entries successfully put in the system so far but if anyone is having trouble getting their entries in you can contact me directly. That’s better than hoping I see a post here and especially so if there’s a timer counting down.
