Thanks Stuss and enchantedspirit! 
The last two days I have entered this via the website and Ive received confirmation screens for my entry but today it just went straight back to the entry page. I read in another powerade thread that its doing the same there so maybe stick with sms' entries as they are definitely going through.
Any daily winners yet.
havent heard yet.i was just saying to my mum shame this comp wasnt an instant win and hourly comp saying you'd won straight away like the cameras or
we all would of won on monday lol.
They said all winners are going to recieve confirmation via email or post within the next week.
I wondered if this was an instant win too. Obviously its drawn daily.
no winners from here ????
Not here I've got the stuff stashed all through the house
Thanks, awesome comp!
Do the entries roll over?
no unfortuantly
I couldn't find any specially marked bottles. Do you all have specially marked bottles or are they the regular bottles?
Thanks.
Just regular 
bugger! when the t&c's said 'promotional product' I assumed that meant 'specially marked'. I have been dragging the kids round looking for
different labels 
Oh well off to IGA again tomorrow.
Thanks for the comp and replying Stuss 
your welcome good luck 
Any winners
I'm a bit shocked I just added up all my puchases for this one I've bought 81 of them with 22 left to put in OMG
OMG comper girl......that's sooooo much Powerade.
Didn't it say that winners would be notified my mail?
mail or sms
last week everyday I just kept piling them in my trolly everyday and stashing them all over the house LOL
christ! i have bought 6 LMAO
I bought 6 as well and if himself sees all that blue drink in the back fridge I'm in for a budgeting lecture!
Maybe we need a how many bottles have/will you buy poll!
i just wanna know how many i have to drink before i pee blue
maybe
someone else can enlighten me LOL
I have bought just six bottles here.
jen38
tastes like crap i'm having trouble getting rid of it even with 4 kids in the house
I think I have about 20 all up between all 3 comps. That seems like a cupboard full for me.
am so over powerade... worth be worth it for a win, but none so far! 
at least they have a sugar free variety!
Thanks Stuss, I'm REALLY glad that the boys love powerade. Can't stand the stuff myself.
Good luck everbody 


Is there a list of winners so far? Surely one of us can get a win if there are daily prizes.
maybe they arent notifying till the end of the comp?
I heard of someone being notified of a win.
i got a call today to say that i was a provisional winner - yay. only entered once on the last day. very excited as my old laptop has died.

the last day???I dont think this comp is finished is it???
congrats on the win
WPC today here too, yippeee so excited. Entered about 10 days in a row by SMS for those interested 
Congratulations to you both, it is nice to hear someone has actually won one. Gives me hope to buy another powerade & try again.
So just to clarify, can I go buy say 10 today on the one receipt and then enter three per day? I noticed on the entry you had to put in the date of
purchase. Does it have to be purchased on the day you enter? Also, if I buy a three pack, can I only enter once?
Thanks 
You can buy the pack of three and then enter three times - one entry for each bottle.
Just curious,
If the entries dont roll over , is your entry only good
for just the one day? Im a bit confused...?
So thats 6 a day? 3 per person....3 sms and 3 online we can do???
(d) a maximum of three (3) entries per Eligible Entrant per day via SMS is permitted; and (e) a maximum of three (3) entries per Eligible Entrant per
day via internet is permitted.

Looks like it's back to IGA for me


I have to learn to read the t&cs..I didnt see the part
about good for 1 day only....Should have split my
entries up over a few days....Im with you Gibbo,
back to IGA for more.....
I have read the terms and conditions over and over. Am I right in saying that you only need to provide the label from the bottle if you win? Do you need to present the receipt? For those who got a WPC, what did they ask of you?
Holy crapolly I wish we just had a powerade thread that distinguished between the current three comps going with this at the moment. It is so
confusing going between thread and checking out if we have done the right application to the right comp currently going at the time. I feel like I am
grasping at straws.
It would be nice to see Coles, Woolies/Safeway and IGA Competitions Terms and Conditions up in the one thread and then separate threads relevant to
the Supermarket.

Is it just me!! Or am I missing something
Mmmm thought I might post a separate topic on this


I asked them and he said you WILL need to send reciepts in
Just received stat dec for IGA asks for proof of id and label only - does not ask for receipt,,, so enter enter enter enter

only one entry, then a reply stating (I think) it said a $99 watch. The lady rang this morning again saying I will receive a letter next week and all RECEIPTS and barcodes for each entry will need to be supplied to collect i.e. if you entered 3 times then three receipts and three barcodes will have to be verified. I only bought one and entered once
Yes they ask for receipts....
Received our letter yesterday and that was for a $99 watch lolll 
All the paperwork ...

God, why would anyone encourage that kind of dishonestly in entering comp.
Might be best if ya kinda not advertise that.
People do get caught you know for being so dishonest.
Sorry, that's just my opinion.
Totally agree...and going by the Coles and Safeway Powerade Comps. I think they will be asking for receipts and in order to get stat dec. signed, the person signing will have to see the original receipt before signing it, so I think receipts will be necessary:0)
I know these powerade comps are causing huge concern for us all.. i also have one a few times.. first few days havent hearnt nothing as of yet ?
however i do wish that the promotors would abide by their own t&cs.. or atleast tell all winners the same thing... i do think that they should run
a promotion alot better..
I will be telling her to read her own t&cs.. but in saying this if shes asking for orignals and labels to claim i will also be sending this for a
wins a win.. but boy oh boy oh boy they will be getting a mouthfull.. i think alot of people do enter in good faith and honestly....... this is like
the 3rd degree and the calls would cost a fortune alone LOL...
I'll never tell, but i guess it wide open now for other people to ring and complain.
Good luck getting that laptop.
That's all i have to say now.
If you buy a three pack do you use barcode that is wrapped around the pack or enter the barcode found on each individual powerade bottle, any help would be appreciated.
Enter the three separate barcodes from each of the bottles

HERE HERE!!!!!!!!
Lets all just go for a run, drink our loads of powerade and hopefully legitimately win a laptop!
I had to sprint into my local IGA tonight as they were just about to shut, and begged them to let me just grab a few more bottles of powerade...
Ah, the things comping does to us!
hmmmmm some interesting comments .... including those that have been deleted!!!! 
Promoters reserve the right to request what they wish in order to validate a win regardless of the value of the prize. So I now expect that I may be
asked to provide ID, receipts for all entries and packaging if I win. Hell, I may even be asked to provide receipts if I don’t win but happen to have
multiple entries in the competition! That’s the way it is now thanks to the level of cheating. So I guess if your not happy with that, don’t enter

Particularly as this thread has had in excess of 3000 views


Just my opinion
Duly noted reallyaddicted...
Well, all I have to say is, "If I cant win honestly, then
I would rather not win". I cant stop cheaters, but at
least I can sleep at night knowing I entered correctly.
I am anything but a martyr, but I would be pretty embarrassed if I cheated, won and then
couldnt back it up with a receipt.
So good luck to all those that enter by the rules...!
I hope that doesnt sound too harsh but now Im sad that
I have spent so much money on this IGA comp and it may
have been a waste. ( I need a laptop so bad, my keys are
falling off mine....boo hoo..) ..lol
i agree so much money spent and ppl cheating it its my bf bday on 3rd of april he works away alot would love to win him one as he needs one for work oh well fingers crossed to all onest ppl good luck
OMG when I mentioned that they weren't asking for receipts
I did not mean CHEAT. I meant that for everyone trying to keep track of which barcode goes with which receipt, don't panic as any of the bar codes
go with the receipt. You stilll have to buy them to enter. Otherwise you won't have a bar code!
I received my Stat Dec as well and it hasn't asked for a copy of the receipt - only original label and copy of ID. But I have photocopied my receipt
as well and will send it all in today.
Don't know what I was thinking when I said I entered on the last day in my earlier post!!!! Must have been the excitement of actually winning!!
Good luck for everyone else who enters!!

good idea doing the receipt as well better to be safe then sorry congrats for winning one
Thanks Annie for clearing that up 
Yes Annie, that was very good of you
to clear it up.. I think we just all like
to think that everyone here plays by
the rules...so again, thankyou!
I have been keeping the barcodes with
each receipt and marking each barcode
with the date and stapling them together.
Its the only way I can keep organised.lol
Good luck everyone!
Gawd, I nearly fainted. Bought my first Powerade from IGA so I would have 1 entry in the draw. And there was the CONGRATULATIONS you are in the draw.

Yeah, some sadistic comper hater probably invented that!

I think this ends on the 29/03 not the 31/03 as per the title. Might need to change it so people don't get caught out.
i also am so over Powerade, cant understand why coles woolies and iga had comps running simulataneously... makes things very confusing
Yuck Yuck Yuck this stuff is disgusting. no wonder they need comps to get us to buy it. Yucky
Yes EF says ends 24:00 hrs 29/03/09
this comp closed early was going to close tomorrow went to site today to put in a last one and it's closed ,not fair....
cider girl it didn't close early the date in the heading is wrong. The T&Cs say it closes 29th.
Mod might need to change it.
I sent an SMS at 10.30 last night and received a reply at 3.30am to tell me that I was too late and the comp had already closed! Wasn't too impressed
with the wake up!
it closed on the 29th I brought one on the 30th it was surpose to close on the 31st.
This is not fair as I went to the site and it said closed and it close early on the 29th.

just bought more of this today, because I went by the heading, not looking at the t&cs. %#@&^!!!
Laptop just arrived
Big box! Now to hide from my son until the end of
May!!!
after seeing the pn's today, it was no wonder it was so hard to win 
i won on the last day. wasnt going to enter after reading some of the comments on here lol now i gotta check the pn and see what the fuss is about
will come in very handy for my eldest at high school
thanks for posting the comp 
Yes ,i agree.
It cost me a small fortune to feed my son inlaw his daily supply.
I wasn't going to enter but my laptop is giving me the sh...
I see 2 people won twice,or maybe 3 times each.
Lucky..........
far out. i am glad to have just won one.
who knows theres a 2nd chance draw yet so dont give up yet!
oh i know there will be a second chance draw 
I doubt it if all they had to provide was barcodes to verify.
Congrats Kibby
congrats to the winners it was a very disapionting comp for me after buying around 100 entering several times web and sms every day and then finding out they only wanted one label for POP very annoying.
thats not what i was told on the phone. apparently they had complaints. they have the right to ask for addition pop etc.
will see what happens when the documents arrive

Ah I see now....its a very long time to wait...and why wouldn't anyone claim this prize....??
The Caltex one was a pain as the codes didnt even make it to Tassie!!!! and it was a national comp!!
congrats winners. Who knows those multiple winners may of legitimately won. We don't know.
LisaBart 2nd chance draws are pretty common its where I win most of my stuff from LOL.. it usually means the original person didn't or couldn't
provide POP as required by the promotors.

I entered on lots of different days, I won on a Sunday entry - maybe not as many people entered on Sundays? I also gave them my label, receipt and stat dec even though they only asked for the label. Happy to have got one my year 7 boy really needs it... Congrats to all who entered this one and the camera, watch etc It seems like 1 daily prize was much easier for them to organize - the hourly ones are quite a balls up.
How did it turn up anniebreen? Hopeful that mine will show up soon 
I sent POP even though they didn't ask for it. I can understand people being annoyed about this comp. I purchased around 25 bottles for this one
and it's annoying to think that some people may get away with cheating. What I really can't understand is them wanting so many details for the
camera and watch comps and not this one? Bizarre!
thanks enchantedspirit I thought it was just me.
thank you.
Laptop was delivered by Australia Post Registered Mail, hope you see yours soon
i received mine last thursday - huge box. i don't really know if it can be classed as a laptop - it's more like a portable pc - it's huge. i'm not
complaining, but it would be hard to sit it on your knee for any lenght of time as it's quite heavy.
i noticed in the pns it stated vaio pc not lap top.
it's very swish tho.
