They announce it on grand final show. To be in the draw for the house, you had to have been a weekly winner, to go into the draw for the house. So if you haven't had notification that you're a weekly winner from the show, or any supermarket, then you aren't in the draw :-( which I am not. It's pretty hard to win, so whoever now owns it, is SUPER lucky

i saw that, think it's pretty stink really, people probably enter heaps and don't realise unless you're a weekly winner (which I think should be just a bonus) you not entered into the main prize draw, I think everyone who enters should be in the draw for the main prize, but unfortunately it's like this for all the house rules comps

Yep agree. Same with the supermarkets taking part. For all IGA receipts, you could enter, and if your name was drawn as a weekly prize, it was just 'good on you', but Woolies receipts weekly winners won $10,000 cash (granted, Masters, owned by Woolies are the major sponsors of the show) but yes, the rules weren't made very clear. A lot wouldn't bother looking into them before entering. Imagine how much they made on the texts at 55c each!!!! Sneaky

Yeah I didn't realise and was entering nightly code word , the people from Woolworths had more chance winning as 8 were from house rules nightly code and Woolworths had 2 winners and iga had 1 winner . 11 people in total . Even to get $10,000 would been a bonus . Just imagine how many people entered , it's like trying to win the lottery and panadol being sponsor .

@roobycat I was thinking the same thing about the cost of the text but infact you are paying for their auto reply as well that's why it costs 55c each text.

Yeah I know! And imagine a few thousand people all sending (let's say) 10 entries per night (some a lot more) for a couple of months. Cost of house = covered
