Chris & The PMP Team

Happy 15th Birthday PMP!

PMP was launched 15 years ago, by coincidence, and hilarious misfortune, on April Fools’ Day. My sincere expectations were for it to be shut down after a few days, when I could no longer tolerate giving £10 away to strangers every day. We’ve since had ~3.5million signups, roughly 1 in 20 of the UK, given away £3.35 million, and been sued once.

We even have Superfans, like the omnipresent Chocolate Spaniel, and the very lovely and very orange Tango Doll (here she is telling us about her 2nd win), who sends us gifts every year. This year she made a very accurate PMP logo made of felt, and then hand delivered it to our office. She was in reception as I was leaving. She then made this impressive, though way too flattering, video about the whole experience:

It was so nice to meet her properly after all these years.

So how are things at PMP? To be honest, we’re mostly in the same place we were 10 years ago, which is around when we went from being my side hustle to a real business, with employees, and office plants. We have roughly the same number of people visiting daily (~200k), but make a lot less money from ads, but make that money back from the surveys on the Survey Draw. So, if you do want to support us, and you don’t regularly answer those surveys, please consider doing so. True, we used to give away more on the Main Draw, but we now give away more as Bonuses. We’ve had some very big Bonus wins over the last few years, which is both painful, and delightful at the same time, since we know those loyal members really deserve the extra cash.

So, why haven’t we grown. Well, first thing. In this world staying still itself is actually progress. Running a small business is already an uphill struggle, and it only seems to get tougher. The biggest issue though is that a free lottery just doesn’t fit neatly in a box that any of the big tech companies play nicely with. We want to advertise more on Google, but they say they need to see a gambling certificate, which is something we cannot and should not have because…. A free lottery is not gambling. Pretty much the same with Meta, and we’re even banned forever on Tiktok. For ever. They will not tell us why.

We’re often approached by big websites who want to promote us, only to find the Suits Department later say No, without explanation, and “will not correspond further on the matter.”

It sounds like I’m whingeing, and perhaps I am a bit, but I’m also proud. Proud that we’ve survived, have given away nearly £4 million as well as supported our team and their families. I’ll never stop being grateful for your daily visits, let alone birthday presents.

And here comes the Ask. Given all the above it really does help when you share your Referral Link. They can stop us advertising, but they can’t stop you posting (….yet….).

Back to the Tango Doll. In an earlier email she listed some ideas for getting the word out about PMP. They included, outdoor ads with a QR code for signing up (I like this… Will look into it) and a Road Show where I turn up in an area with the most picked postcodes (Not so keen on this one, as I don’t think anyone will recognise me).

One idea we’re considering at the moment is whether to run a paid draw, whether as a one-off or weekly event. We realise this doesn’t really fit the ethos, but given how the tech cos and suits think we’re gambling anyway, and the amount of people who write in suggesting it, is it time to give it a go? Imagine a £1 entry and a chance to win, say £10,000.. Would that work? We’re keen to hear your thoughts about this, and any other suggestions in the comments section below.

Until next time, here’s a photo of the Tango Doll (Sheridan) and me, outside our office.

Love

Chris & Team & Superfans x

    • Maybe 29 of them are dormant🤔

      What a pity it was so cloudy you might have had a good view.

    • I was almost sure that would be claimed, as there were an amazing 30 registered.

      Just been out with binoculars to see if I could see the Orion spacecraft leaving Earth orbit as there was a clear view last night, but tonight I can barely see the moonlight through thick black clouds. Typical..

  • Hello. Has anyone won more than once??

    • Some people have won twice and a small number of people have won three times.

      The system completes the draws from a database of active account ID numbers using a random number generator and the parameters of the smallest ID number to the largest. It then displays the postcode on the chosen account number as the winner of the draw. All it ‘sees’ is the account numbers of active members, it is not influenced by any other data or outside factors and is as random as a computer can be.

      Any active account could win at any time. As with any lottery or giveaway, some people win and some don't, but at least ours is free. You don't often get the chance to win something for free in life, after all.

  • Update about my personal situation for those who are interested.

    The cancer has mutated again, it is now HER2 negative. There is only 1 conventional course of treatment left, another chemo regimine of Capecitabine & Oxaliplatin. It will be 8 x 3 week cycles (24 weeks). There are no other conventional treatments after that. Before this can be started they want a baseline CT. It'll be another 2 weeks until we hear anything. Maybe more with Easter.

    The London Specialist mentioned that he's trying to set up a new trial but it takes a long time to do so and he said it was "6 months out" 18 months ago and he's still saying the same. The Southampton Oncologist is going to keep in communication with him but we're not feeling optimistic.

    Simon is focusing on short-term goals such as his medical retirement.

    I couldn't sleep last night. Once he fell asleep I cried.

    Sorry to be so low. It's not easy, but I knew there were many who would want to know.

    • 😥We’re all sitting with you and crying along side you Em. Miracles happen everyday. Simons might be soon. 💞💞💞

    • (hugs) because everyone needs them sometimes

    • Sending love, hugs and all good wishes. x

    • Sorry to hear the latest update. We had sad news at our Maggie’s group yesterday. I wish it wasn’t this way. 😥

    • Nothing I can add to everyone's messages above, but I echo them and send you and Simon all the positive thoughts and energy I can ✨️ and 🙏 of course x

    • Sorry to hear the latest update, yes I’m interested in the latest news, yes I can’t do anything only to wish you both the very best of luck to you both. I’m not sure if luck is the right word to use but I’m sure you’ll know what I mean. I get pretty emotional when I hear people say that their loved ones has Cancer as I lost my 2nd wife to it and nobody had a clue until about 2 weeks prior to her passing so it came as a massive shock but we know that when we found out that she knew 2 months before through things she said then but she kept quiet, all the medical personnel was also confused that nobody knew about it prior to her admission to hospital? Therefore I can sympathise with you all and I’ll be thinking about you as often as my memory will allow it? I’m not religious in any way but I will say God bless you all and look after you both and all your family for as long as possible? Lots of love to you all, Steve X X

    • Miracles happen every day Em. One will come Simon's way, believe it. Virtual hugs through the ether xx

    • Thinking of you both, sending positive thoughts.

    • Best wishes to you both. xx

    • Oh dear. It's okay to not be okay. Keep the faith.

    • So sorry to hear this, Em. Our thoughts are with you both. As I have always said in our email conversations, make sure that you take care of yourself as well as Simon x

    • So sorry to hear this news.Thinking of you both.Hope the treatment is successful ♥️

    • So sorry that you news wasn't more positive. Thinking of you both. Never apologise. You're more than entitled to down spells. Sending hugs and positive vibes 🥰

    • Sorry to hear that your news wasn't more positive and hopeful Em. It's good that you feel able to share your thoughts and concerns with us so never apologise for your 'down' spells. We're all here to offer what we can by way of support to you both. 🫶 🫂❤️

    • Em, you are entitled to feel low. You are a caring and loving person, so of course you feel emotion, and rightly so. We are all here with, and for you, with love and friendship. ❤️

    • Miracles do happen. There is a lot of love coming your way from this community. Positive thoughts are powerful.

    • Em, sorry to hear your news. Please don't apologise for feeling low, we are all here to support you as best we can, you've been through so much.

      Thinking of both you and Simon. Take care 💞

    • Em

      Thank you for sharing this hard news. We appreciate your trust in us. We wish the very best for both of you.

      Trevor

    • Sorry to hear this Em. Tears are a release valve and understandable after the shock of this setback. Echoing all the previous good wishes on here and sending you and Simon kind thoughts and just keep hoping I guess.💞💞

    • Difficult time Em but we are all rooting for you and Simon. It's good to cry - you need to cry, love to you both.

    • Sorry to hear the update, Em. Let’s hope something turns up, and the miracle happens. You know we are all with you.

    • Our thoughts are with you always.

    • Thinking of you both at this very difficult time. All you can do is try to stay strong and take it one day at a time.

    • Sending hugs to you and Simon. I can imagine how hard it is to keep upbeat with it all. I hope you have good news soon

    • Agree with everyone, we are here for you ❤️

    • Thank you all for your support.

    • Of course you're feeling low, people forget that often the partner is more worried than the one who has the problem. Hoping everything moves forward as fast as possible & Simon gets the treatment.

    • Thinking of you both at this difficult time. I hope everything goes well.

    • I suspect the trial delay is related to ethics committee approval. Em just focus on one day at a time. Try and keep positive.

    • Sorry to learn of your news.

      Hopefully that the medics can find something to improve or rid Simon of his health issues.

    • I hope that it is a positive outcome, you are both in my thoughts and prayers.

    • Em & Simon, my thoughts are with you both. Massive hugs sent virtually to you. Hoping also the Chemo works. 🙏

    • Thinking of you both and wishing you all the best for a positive outcome 💙❤️

    • Sending best wishes for a positive outcome to you both

    • I really hope that the chemo combination works for him.🤞🤞🤞 Let him know to be very careful not to handle anything cold during the treatment, I know from experience! Thinking of you both. ❤️

    • Thinking of you both & hoping for the best. When things seem their worst, they can only get better.

    • I hope that the cancer cells will change to the good direction. On trials, why not email Wes Streeting (he seems a nice guy) Details below. Best Wishes to you both.

  • Anyone read the next James Bond is ...

    ..

    ..

    ..

    ..

    ..

    ..

    Jesse Buckley!!!

    ..

    ..

    ..

    ..

    ..

    April Fool !!!

    • @ MickmeDad, April Fool would be a great name for a Bond character.

      These days, it's quite likely that someone would come up with a scenario where James could become 'Jane' eg after having a nasty accident. There used to be a joke doing the rounds many moons ago that explained what his DSO really meant, and it wasn't Distinguished Service Order. 😱

      However, Bond is such an iconic character, there would probably be wailing in the streets. 🙄

    • What I can’t understand is, and I’m a big Bond fan is how come a woman take over James’s role when James is a man’s name, it just won’t be the same without him being a man? No I’m not being sexist but all the 20+ books and films which I have every film classify the character as being a male so whose the idiot whose probably changed James’s sex, it’s not right??

    • The trouble is, the idea of the next James Bond being a woman is an actual possibility.

    • So who is Jesse Buckley and is April Fool a Bond Villain ?

    • You did, Alley1940, In my spaghetti tree thread a couple of threads below 😉

    • Yes I did and commebted on it somewhere.

  • At last I've completed a survey today. It's been mainly issues. The back is being a real pain today so it has slowed me down. At least we are packed ready for the mystery on Saturday. We are first pickup at 8am so I reckon north or southwest, There's no wi fi on the coach bcause the tour has been sub contracted to another company. I do know that it is a brand new coach so it will have a destination board at the top of the windscreen. That means a crick in the neck trying to see ahead.. Most coaches have stopped wi fi because 3g is no longer available.

    The pork is in the oven, first roast I've done this year. Plenty of roasties because Lidl have got 2kg of white potatoes for 8p. Got some reduced purple sprouting broccoli.

    Two loads of washing out on the line. Hopefully it will dry as there is bit of a breeze.

    • Jaffa, sorry, greedyguts here has scoffed it. Had to finish the crackling under the grill and it came up lovely and bubbly.

      Enver, I kneel on a kneeling pad to do the heavier work. It turns over easily now after years of adding home compost and horse poo.

    • Raised beds is a good shout Enver.I hope the back improves for your coach trip,save me some pork and roasties too!

    • When you have some time get some bricks & concrete, or railway sleepers & build raised beds for veg so you do not have to bend in future, maybe get a friend to do it.

      Most of our buses & some trains have charging points between seats, I'd be suspicious of using them as it's generated, not a smoothed voltage & could damage your device, don't think it's anything to do with connecting to the internet though.

  • I see Kylee has won on the bonus draw hope they claim

    • 🤣

    • Now, if it had been Lulu 🤣

    HAPPY SPAGHETTI TREE DAY! 🌴🌳🌴🌲🌴

    • Years ago someone made a life-sized friesian cow in wood, or fibreglass, I suppose, with a pantomime funny expression, and put it on the heath near a crossroads. There are no friesians on the forest usually because the food wouldn’t support them, it’s normally little belted Galloways, or the bigger ones are only out in between being taken in for feeding. Anyway, April the Cow made it into the local papers, and caused a lot of double-takes for drivers, and when I saw her, she was surrounded by very alarmed forest cattle and ponies!

    • It was the Guardian, back in 1977, and they had a map showing the two islands which made up Sans Serriffe. They were called Upper Caisse and Lower Caisse.

    • One of the broadsheets years ago (Guardian I think) did a travel article about the Island of 'Sans Serif'. It was well before computers were a thing, so it referred to handwriting at the time. I was quite young, but I've never forgotten that one 😅

    • Spaghetti day tree. That was so funny. I didn’t see news today to see if there were any

    • The tartan paint 🤣

    • There is one on Gmail today. The new "James" Bond is to be a woman.

    • 🤣😂🤣😂😂

    • Penguins flying on emigration. BBC 2008

      https://www.google.com/search?q=Penguins+flying+on+emigration.

    • Yes, it was Panorama in 1957. No one would have even thought that a serious programme like that could possibly do a spoof report. People contacted the BBC to ask how they could get the plants/seeds etc and the best way to care for them.

      There have been many other programmes that have made similar reports since (Esther Rantzen with the driving dog, and the Lirpa Loof at the zoo), but the Spaghetti Tree was by far the best imo. I missed the one about the library, as I was living in cornwall in 1976 and we didn't have a tv.

      Does anyone recall any other spoofs?

    • Remember it well! Presented in serious manner by Richard Dimbleby.

      https://youtu.be/tVo_wkxH9dU?si=3mNPPHipO0QeOVwM

    • Haha!

  • A zookeeper was writing to another zoo which was due to close and was looking for homes for its animals.

    "Dear friend, I am running a small zoo and would like to take a few of your animals. Please could you send me two mongooses?"

    He read it through and it didn't look right somehow. So he tore it up and started again.

    "Dear friend, I am running a small zoo and would like to take a few of your animals. Please could you send me two mongeese?"

    This didn't look right either, so he tore that up, scratched his head and started again.

    "Dear friend, I am running a small zoo and would like to take a few of your animals. Please could you send me a mongoose?"

    "P.S. Better make that two."

    • I thought he would ask for a different animal.

    • It's an old one but I've always liked it. I heard it as "Can you send me a mongoose...and another mongoose."

    • It may not be hilarious, but at least it's clean.

      Even when you know that mongooses is the correct plural, it still looks wrong.

  • (Love this song) I pictured a rainbow you held in your hands.

  • Watching the Japanese Formula 1 on Sunday, it always amuses me when the commentator says "He's found the barrier!"

    There it is! Didn't really take a lot of finding, it had been there for the whole duration.

    • Should save that one for car crashes on the motorway!

  • I've come in from the garden because I'm doing too much as usual. At least it reminded me to order more meds. It would have been nice to have a hot cross bun now but they were sold out in Morrisons yesterday. I did get some pork leg at half price. Cut it in two and froze one piece. Plenty of crackling on it. Didn't get any apple sauce as they didn't have their own brand. Had a five minute job to do which took all morning. Glo broke the toilet flush handle in her bathroom. Couldn't find one amongst my bathroom fittings box in the workshop so I had to buy one. Old handle remains removed, new one doesn't fit, the hole in the cistern is just too small. It's only 36 years old. Filed just enough of the plastic thread off but leaving enough so that the nut would still grip. Then I carefully enlarged the hole in the cistern with a masonary drill. Once I got through the glaze it wasn't too bad. All working again after two coffee breaks. Now I'm going outside again to weed the hanging baskets, the fuchias already have some leaves.

    • Ha, Lol, that nearly happened when the kitchen fitter switched on the extractor fan for the first time and put it on full. I thought Indi was going to be sucked in from the other side of the room.

    • @Happy - Yes, but those high-up cisterns with a pull-chain when they flushed got rid of EVERYTHING. Never that little bit left creeping back round the U-bend that says "Ha ha! Missed me!"

      First time, every time. Stand too close and you risked being sucked in by the torrent.

    • Me too Tudiefair!

      Shyboy you did make me laugh when I read your comment the toilet was only 36 years old!

    • I still say pull the chain - not flush the toilet. Showing my age.

    • Remember the toilet when I lived at home, cistern up by ceiling and long pull chain for flushing toilet.

      How times have changed.

    • I too have experienced the hole in the cistern which came with the house being ever so slightly too small for the replacement flush handle. Very annoying.

    • Whenever weeds grow through stone chippings I put the mower on a high setting & whiz over it. If between slabs I strim them. Some nice sunny drier day I might sit down on the ground & pull them out.

    • Well Shyboy, I think after reading that I need a nap.

      Em, don't worry about what the neighbours think as you could be setting the lastest trend!

    • It's annoying when there is not just one size for things / industry standard size. Glad you got it working again.

      Having said that you were doing too much, don't do too much in the garden. Weeds will always be there, after all!

      I've given up with our drive, there are too many more important things to do and now it looks like we have a lawn instead of a driveway. Perhaps not a bad thing... except for what the neighbours think ... but got more important things to care about than what others think, too. So who cares! Let there be life and growth on our driveway!

  • Just seen the postcode, first 4 digits are mine. I thought "that's got to be the closest I've seen to me.". Checked it out and it's 3 mile away. There was one 2 streets away some years ago, although just checked that and they have the first 5 digits like mine. What I really need is the first 6 digits😂

    • I can imagine Lol 63.

    • @Alley1940 - My apprenticeship stint in the mechanical workshop was partly in millimetres and partly in "thou" (thousandths of an inch) depending on which teacher we had in on any particular day. That was confusing.

    • Nick - Check the Winners Map page. It show all those near you who have claimed.

    • @ Lol 63. You reminded me of my efforts to work with my son some years ago. I was working in Imperial and he was Metric. Guess who had to learn to work in Metric so we could complete the job together.

    • Good luck Nick.

      My WN postcodes were very rare, but there have been quite a few showing up in the last few months. I was lucky enough to win on the bonus draw recently (after 15 years of trying).

    • I just checked and the first 4 digits of my postcode covers 3.14 square miles. (8.12 sq km for the youngsters)

    • I'm now singing Norah Jones to myself. I was going to reply with the first line of her song but out of context it might read wrongly.

  • A young comedian had been struggling to get laughs anywhere he went.

    One day, an older comic told him about a small gig at a local retirement home.

    “Now don’t expect much,” he said. “A lot of the folks there have memory problems.”

    Still, the young comedian took the job and showed up nervous as could be.

    He told his first joke… and the room burst into laughter.

    It felt amazing—his confidence shot right up.

    Then he remembered what the older comic had said.

    So he told the same joke again… and they laughed even harder.

    Pretty soon, he just kept repeating it over and over.

    The crowd loved it—big laughs every single time.

    In the back of the room, one older gentleman sat quietly, watching him closely.

    The comedian never noticed and finished his whole set the same way.

    As he was leaving, the man in the back stopped him.

    “Son, I’ve got to ask you something,” he said.

    “How in the world do you remember all those jokes?”

    • Nor did I.

    • I did not see the punchline coming!

    • :-) :-)

    • Good one. Thought it might be the "your flies are not done up" joke again.

  • Fri. 27th - Mini Draw NoT claimed - the member/s using : Corkland Road, Chorlton Cum Hardy, Manchester M21 8XW - have missed their £100 prize + bonus payment.

  • On the way to the hospital to visit my sister I doubled the value of my car, I filled up with petrol. My super unleaded was £1.74 a litre. I did get six large free range eggs reduced from £3.06 to 99p. Got to the hospital at 12.30 pm and went into the cafe as it was Friday - fish and chip day! We each had small cod (actually quite big), chips and sweetcorn. Glo had Coke and I had coffee, A few pennies over £18. That now works out cheaper than a chippy. Went up to the ward and Anna was asleep as usual. Shouted in her ear and the nurses were shaking her but she wouldn't wake up. She looks a lot paler now. Came home after half an hour. Couldn't do anything outside as it has been a gentle rain all day.

    • Not sure if the price has gone up since last year but the local chippie was doing Pensioners Lunchtime cod & chips for £3.50. Ordinary price is well over £10 - chips were about £3.50 anyway, but the servings are massive - one lot does three people easily.

    • Enver, down here in the south we were allowed 5 boxes of creme eggs. This week they are selling 7 pack original Penguin for 69p. I've been buying the caramel flavoured ones for 99p. I love the marzipan and vanilla Dancake swiss roll and the Easter one is lemon flavoured. Got some of each flavour in the freezer.

    • Fish (single) £8.80p, Fish Supper £10.80p. Chips £2.90p / £3.90p. (At one of my local chippys).

      Saturday 16.30pm I've just been across to Farmfoods, Cadbury's creme eggs (Normal, white choc, & caramel) are still £1.99p a box of 5, limit 4 boxes per customer, & 25% of each case still left - as well as other brands.

      6 large (free range) eggs are normally 99p & plenty boxes on the shelf, but I noticed they're sold out of the normal size (15 in pack) for £2.99p. Their Dancake swiss roll only has a marzipan & vanilla flavouring, does it taste as good?.

    • Not been to the best chippie in this area since before the pandemic as the bus company suspended the service and never restored it. Would take 2 busses to get there and back now. They used to do a Pensioner's Special with smaller portions of fish and chips at a very reasonable price.

    • Fish & chips in the shop I prefer is over £24 here but it is a large fish, a mini fish ,chips & peas. It's been mainly dry here.
