Random Instant wins - what's the best time to enter?

Random Instant wins - what's the best time to enter?

Many times I've brought products from a store with one of those comps where you have to enter online and then various people win randomly.

I gather from discussion here that the promoter selects random times of the day and the first person to enter after that time will win.

Question is this - Do those preselected instant win times tend to be from 8am to 6pm? Or can they also be at 10pm at night.

Often I like to enter comps in the evening e.g. 9pm or 10pm. But I've noticed that alot of people who post wins enter during normal work hours.

What do you guys think?

I think it is totally random ;)
They use computer programs to randomly select the times so your guess is as good as mine as to when to enter.

I've won late at night with the BH&G ring in comps, so yes, they do give away later in the day.
The Eclipse Mints one seems to be mainly going off earlier in the day.
The Rimmel one went off at all times.
The Macarons one seems to be any old time.
It's completely random. No rhyme or reason at all.

It's computer programmed starlily and it would be random between selected time parameters.

Along the same lines - I was wondering about SMS messages on Sundays and after hours. I also think - and hope - that they are random times but not sure.

It was interesting last week on the Today Show that the lady who won ($15,000 I think) on Thursday or Friday had entered twice on Sunday. That was good to hear.

So globalchick I think hat they must be random. Let's hope so.

Good luck. :) :) :)

As someone answered in a similar thread a while age- how long is a piece of string? All I can suggest is just not to worry about it- and just keep entering!:lol::lol::lol:

I remember a cadburys comp about 5 years ago where I won 7 mobiles instantly and all were in the early morning hours (midnight to 5 am)

good question and some very insightful answers - you would think the "one win only per day ones" like eclipse would go off late in the day so they could maximize the number of people buying and entering their comp - or maybe they are unaware of sites like this one who tell other potential enterers when they have won. I have had a packet of eclipse for two weeks that I never get to enter as by the time I get around to it the prize for that day has already gone off!
