Are Power Move prize draw entries pro rata?


Hi 

For the second week running my Monday power move update gives my average usage 5.08 % and that I’ll get 9 entries into the draw BUT as far as I can see according to the Power Move FAQ’s, 5 to 6% should get me 10 entries.  ( My partner, also on Ovo today has 5.99% and gets 10 entries) 

Anyone else getting this / or know what is happening for me??

Thank you everyone - It’s all sorted ….and it was me not Ovo  😏  - I signed up to powermove a bit late so missed a couple of days and my ticket entries are pro rata  - which is fair on everyone

@decroisic it’s worth remembering that it only takes one entry to potentially win the jackpot.

I will ask the Power Move team to check this thread though, please bear with me.

Thanks ​@Blastoise186  - I’m with you on that, that 1 entry could be the winning entry! :)  Just as important though is that something clearly isn't right so thank you for passing it on.

For what it's worth! 

5.11% with 10 entries.

No doubt OVO will say that they momentarily lost contact with your meter.

Request to see the data!

Ok, had a response. The Power Move team wants to analyse your account directly.

Please wait for a PM from a Forum Moderator - they’ll get your details and get the team to dig the logs. Please DO NOT send that PM to me though - I can’t do anything with it!

This issue has absolutely nothing to do with meters losing contact. I’d have spotted that one from a mile away.

And besides, there’s an auto-retry system anyway. Losing contact momentarily i.e. for a few seconds, would just trigger a second attempt and correct itself.

Hi,

    I am on 4.31%, I am so excited I can`t wait to get money of my bill🤗,

oh dam,  I momentarily forgot that on track for 11 entries and that its towards pointless entry's in to the Either😪 and not tangible savings.

Ooh.. Of course! I should have figured that one out sooner. Thanks for letting us know as that helps to figure out these cases more easily in the future. Let us know if you get stuck with anything else. If we can help with it, we will.

Whopper. 9 chances in 4. Million. Is it really worth it anymore?

It’s still better than 1 chance in 10 million+ entries...

I also scored the £2 prize with 9 entries and I’m happy with that.

You win some, you lose some, that’s how the prize draw works.

But it must be said that the money is not the primary goal...

Glad to hear this ​@Blastoise186 & ​@Nukecad! Well done 😊
