Good Morning PMP!

chrisWhy are the main draws at midday? I can’t actually remember. It must have made sense back in 2011. Now, it’s a bit of a pain for us. We’d like to move them to 9am. Is that ok?

Actually, we just asked 2,000 of you “How would you feel if we moved the Main, Video and Survey Draws to 9am?” on the Survey Draw and this is what came out:

Doesn’t bother me: 66.57%
I’d prefer it: 19.93%
I’d rather you didn’t: 11.59%
I’d hate it: 1.91%

That looks like a green light to us, but we thought we’d “put it out there” first. How do we feel about this? Midday draws almost seems fundamental, but then so did being called Free Postcode Lottery.

It would help us because we’d be in the office when most of the activity was happening, as well as being able to collect survey answers in the morning, in case we ever do a live poll for breakfast TV…

Please do let us know how you feel in the comments below.

Thanks!

Chris 🙂

Another (🤔) interesting year is over. 2021 was, of course, dominated by the pandemic and has ended in a cliffhanger as our scientists (🙏) work out quite what this new variant is up to. But, we’ve ended the year mostly vaccinated, having started it only a couple of days after the first vaccine was approved. And… PMP members collectively claimed over £283k for free! … Read more

2020 is over! How was it? OK, it was awful, but some good stuff happened, most of which I suspect we’ll only fully appreciate in retrospect. For now, we can be pleased that 2020 did a lot for science, the air, the South Korean film industry, and for neighbours. … Read more

  • organise it anyway that suits you, you are running a great site please keep it going ! at least `til I win something.

  • It's Free, what difference does it make. If it is easier for your staff to do it at 09:00.

    Still awaiting a win!

  • Chris, whatever is convenient to you and your staff. After all, it doesn't cost ud anything.

    Good Luck and keep smiling.

  • The change of time will make no difference to me!

  • I have no objections of any kind, major or minor, of any account, under any circumstances, what...so...ever.

  • Yes please, that'd be even better!

  • I'm happy for you to change the time.

  • I'm quite happy for you to change the time

  • fine by me

  • As it currently stands, we're potentially checking the site up to 3 times - first at 9am for morning stackpot draw, second at 12pm for the main draws and third at 9pm for the evening stackpot draw.

    Changing the main draws to 9am would mean only needing to log in twice which would be more convenient in my opinion.

    • There's the £100 mini draw at 6PM too. But I agree, being able to check 5 draws at once at 9am would be more convenient.
