EF's were out today... not many though.
Where did you see entry forms? Is it purchases from anywhere?
Thanks for the post
debrastasia, I've seen bottles with promotional labels at Woolworths. Haven't seen EFs yet.
Got mine from woolies.
Is anyone else having trouble entering your barcodes. Mine keeps coming up with barcode 1 is not correct. But I purchased the same thing as barcode 2 so I don't know were I am going wrong. Can anyone let me know what I need to do to fix this. Many Thanks!
It's broken. I entered ok with my barcodes from the "Agrum" drink. It then didn't like bc 1 with Lemon Lime and Bitters (which were spec mark) or
bc's from "Ciata" it didn't like a combo of either or 2 of the same???
So I emailed them and should have a response in a few days. I will update as soon as.
They are not very helpful. They claim those barcodes do work and to try again so I did and the website is down.
Then I emailed back telling them this and they said there is no problem with the website!
I just emailed them again because the site is still down.
Ok, after receiving countless rude emails from the tech support the correct address is
https://schweppesmarquee.icmodus.com
And my Ciata and Lemon Lime Bitters B/C's work now.
I'm with you cath999 - it's not rejecting my barcodes, just says some rubbish about a secure connection and not using it quick enough blah, blah,
blah . . . you're locked out try again in 5 mins. I've tried again in 5 mins about 10 times now with no luck. 
Here's what it says:
Our system has detected a problem with your website access.
Your access may have been corrupted through a lost connection, or leaving this secure site idle for too long.
As a security precaution, when one of these issues arises, our system will block your access temporarily to ensure the system is safe.
Please try again in five (5) minutes. Thank you for your patience.
cath999 - the web address I posted for entry is also correct - it's the one listed in the T&Cs on the promotional bottles.
I haven't had any problems using it.
mska i didn't have any problems accessing the site with your link, it just won't allow me to enter gggggrrrrrr
I also tried cath999 link and the link given in the registration email. I guess i'll try again tomorrow.
BPM, have you had this problem all the time, or just recently?
I entered once OK before so not sure what is going on, i might try from another computer.
I entered last night after posting my last message to see if it was working ok. It went through alright.
I thought maybe there was a problem with the web site which was causing you grief, but maybe it is the computer you were using. 
It's hit and miss with these websites. They told me I was to blame or my computer was to blame.
And yeah their own TC's have a different address too.
The email they sent giving me that other address was so rude, like I was an idiot for using the wrong address.
I resisted the urge to fire off a rude email back drawing their attention to their TC's, but that would ruin my karma!
cath999,
If we spent time answering all the rude, stupid people, we'd have no time left for entering comps! 
Exactly!
Worked OK last night on the same computer i couldn't enter on previously!! lol - glad to have an entry in - now makes me wonder if i actually put the last one through as i don't remember picking a room! lol
I just got the error message as well, will wait 5 minutes and see if it will let me enter.
I waited 10 minutes and still got the same message.
Please harrass the tech support
mine worked ok and it was 2 x LLB barcodes, good luck everyone

I've also sent another annoying email off to them
I don't suppose a Lotto-er won this one?
I was so convinced I was going to! 
Major Prize winner is in the Public Notices today on page 3.
Win a Schweppes Marquee Promotion........
Saw that too frunue!
It says in original post major draw is 14/1/09 but I missed that and still have entries
Bummer, I'll just have to put them in for the minor draw on 30/3/09. Funny way to run a comp
hang on...do we have to enter again for the minor draw?
yes any entries now are for the minor draw which is still a trip, this isnt the first time a comp like this has been run!!!
Can I use my original entry receipts and barcodes.
Perhaps I'll just give it a try and see what happens.
I have tried for a couple of days now and everytime I try to enter it tells me that it is blocking me because of something technical and try again in
5 minutes. I have and nothing happens just the same message.
Anyone else.
It finishes tomorrow.
Minor winner is in the public notices today.
This competition seemed to go forever !!!
and a big congratulations to that individual - very pleased to see the win
Congrats from me too. Did a little happy dance. There's a couple of lottoers in the pns today so have happy danced a bit this morning
OK...finally got the WPC and can now confirm that I am in fact the Minor winner! woohoo!
The Promoters actually didn't want the labels after all that worry...just my receipt, which thank goodness I DID NOT THROW OUT...
when doing my 3 monthly competition box clear out! Phew!
That was a close call for me...and a very timely lesson I hope to all of you, to check closing dates etc BEFORE throwing things out!
I know I have certainly had a wake up call here!
And, to those members who apparently suggested I was asking for receipts or labels for this competition, I'd just like to say I am deeply offended
by the accusation. Whoever you are, you obviously do not know me, or you
would know how strongly I value my ethics and integrity. I NEVER ASKED FOR OR SUGGESTED ANYONE OFFER ME THEIR RECEIPT! Not to mention
the fact that it would have been useless anyway as both the receipt number & date was used for the entry...so I HAD to have my
own receipt to validate my own entry!!
I take pride in the fact that I am an honest member of the Lottos family and have been for years. I am NOT a professional comper...but enter for fun.
Sometimes a little obsessively that's for sure, but still for fun. I am also thrilled that my good karma has resulted in me winning many, many
fabulous prizes over the years, but I have also paid all my dues for each and every competition I enter.
Finally, thanks to all those wonderful members who sent me congratulations...I really do appreciate it.
Congratulations susanmundy
Well Deserved
Congrats!
Great to see that big long comps can be won with a single entry!
Good on you susanmundy, enjoy your prize
Congratulations, what a fantastic once in a lifetime prize, have fun!!!
Congratulations, well done and you deserve it, enjoy it
Wow, another great win for the year
Thanks everyone...I am really thrilled! I simply can't wait!
But, I must share with you what the delightful lady from the Marketing firm told me...
The winner of the Major prize (actually priceless..but valued at $170,000!!) was actually not all that impressed with the prize and asked if he could
swap it for a 4 wheel drive!!
My goodness...some people are bizarre aren't they?! She was saying they were all very disappointed there, because he was so UNDERWHELMED by the win!!
She actually said she wished she was telling ME I was the major winner because I was so excited and grateful! I told her she could ask him if he'd
like to swap! LOL!
Congratulations hope you have a great time.
Congrats. I'm glad it all worked out for you. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
How awesome would it be to win the major prize. I can't believe anyone would be so blaze.
Congratulations susanmundy
Hope you have a fantastic time .....
What a hide of that major winner
Some people are so ungrateful...!!!!
Congratulations susanmundy, what a fabulous win. I actually forgot about this comp, it's been so long. Didn't realise there was a minor prize, I
was too gobsmacked at the major.
I can't believe the major winner , I actually raved about this comp to
all my friends because I thought the major prize was awesome.
Maybe he has no friends to take!!!!!
