I posted the rules earlier in the thread - Post No. 26Unable to answer the question unless I know how many people are in the draw.
To some extent yes. But the odds where going into the £1m draw is no longer worth the risk will vary from person to person depending on their circumstances.
how did it take 14 posts to get to this vital point?Depends entirely on the odds of winning the other prize.
£2k vs a 50% chance of a million, I’d take the chance.
£2k vs a 0.001% chance of a million, I’d take the £2k.
I’d probably miss it being too busy out on the course whilst it’s free of all the working class common muck.Pah. Most on here wouldn’t even pick up the phone for only 10k mate
They say it over the radio as I've heard it last year, or year before and wondered if I'd do it myself. I see there were 39 people entered last year. The bloke who won turned down just £2,000 an at the time the amount of people would have been less. He doesn't even click on straight away he's won it in the videoFor people saying need to know the odds you don’t get told.
This is great work, this is why people like you should be making threads not gonks like me.They say it over the radio as I've heard it last year, or year before and wondered if I'd do it myself.

They also tell you how many people there are on the website and there's 4 at the moment. I'd presume more people join at the beginning as they will think their odds are better. However, once they get a few more people in the draw then I'd presume the cash offered would really go up to tempt people into the draw.

Heart's Make Me A Millionaire is back for 2024!
Heart's Make Me A Millionaire is back for another year as we make another person £1,000,000 richer.www.heart.co.uk
So the question could be, there's already 38 people in the draw and you're the very last person Heart call, how much you take to not go into the draw?
See my edit as even with 4 it's not a simple 1 in 4 chance of winning. You'd have 4 people who get to pick 1 of 4 boxes in orderThis is great work, this is why people like you should be making threads not gonks like me.
Only 4 so far![]()
How will you decide who wins the one million pound prize?
Winners in each round can either choose to walk away with the cash amount available that day, or instead choose a place in the Million Pound Final which is a two stage process. In stage one, the number of finalists will be randomly whittled down to 9 people, who will all make it through to stage two. On the final day of the game, an additional person will win the 10th place in stage two of the Million Pound Final. The 10 entrants will then each have a one in ten chance of becoming the nation’s newest millionaire. The million pound winner will be determined through a random process overseen and verified by an independent adjudicator.

Reads to me like they win the million or nothingThe final day person doesn’t get the chance of winning anything other than the million?
You lost me at point 2. So im taking the moneySee my edit as even with 4 it's not a simple 1 in 4 chance of winning. You'd have 4 people who get to pick 1 of 4 boxes in order
1. 1 in 4 chance of picking winning box
2. 1 in 3 chance (on top of 3 in 4 chance of 1st pick in their favour)
3. 1 in 2 chance (on top of3 in 4 chance of 1st pick in their favour, 2 in 3 chance 2nd pick in the favour)
4. Wouldn't get to pick as they'd win (on top of3 in 4 chance of 1st pick in their favour, 2 in 3 chance 2nd pick in the favour and 1 in 2 chance 3rd pick in their favour)
I've added stuff in brackets as I'm wondering does the fact that the 2nd person has to hope the 1st person doesn't pick the winning box and so on equal out the chance for all four people to 1 in 4 again? it doe I think
Don't just say yes or no, you need to show how you worked it out![]()
Missed this, so there's a draw before the main draw of 10 people so people get bumped before the winner is announced. Last year, 39 people entered with 39 boxes and they took a turn to pick the winning box and the 15th picker was the winner.How will you decide who wins the one million pound prize?

Aye but they're getting a fast track into the final 10 of Stage 2 which means a 1 in 10 chance compared to last year which would have been 1 in 39 for the last person.The final day person doesn’t get the chance of winning anything other than the million?

10k for me and I would have I spent in under 30 minutesBe put into a draw for 1 million pounds.
Debate going down at graft here, Heart have a competition on and if you get through on their premium rates you can take 10k today or be put into the mega draw. The kicker being they ring people about 5 times a day (maybe more) until the end of April, so god knows how many are in the draw at the end. Personally, I’m taking the 10k.
