I think the fundamental mistake they may have made is not allowing wrong answers to be charged. If I rang GMTV and gave a wrong answer (unlikely I know since they ask the most ridiculously simple questions that even my 5 year old can answer without thinking) then you would still be charged the “entry” fee. On that basis then lets say (for the sake of argument) that 46,000 people entered and only 30,000 answered correctly then they would have still reached the required quota and the odds for those who answered correctly would have been considerably shortened. However that would have left 16,000 people extremely naffed off that they had paid £25 and didn’t even have a chance of winning.. but.. I don’t see how the gaqmbling commission could have then queried any aspect of the competition. I am still hoping that they see sense and allow the draw to go ahead.. I’m still picturing Christmas by the Lake. It will be such a shame if the draw is deemed unlawful. The Wilshaws have worked so hard and I genuinley believe that in addition to the obvious motive of selling the property for the price they want and retiring they have truly wanted to see someone have a dream realised, someone that would otherwise have no hope of ever realising such a dream. Lets hope the gambling commission see it that way too!!

Work this out if you can, my interpritation is that if you can put an incorrect answer in and still pay that is the element of skill, ie you pay but do not enter, the wilshaws site would not take your money until you got the answer right and i think that is the problem, then what do i know (:
