    Wink Instant win websites

    hey yooooo guys.

    Please can you clear something up for me?

    I go on an instant win website. You select numbers from drop down boxes and if they match what they have you win the prize.

    In theory, is there such a thing where you can create a programme that will store numbers for each prize draw that will be checked when the enter button is clicked? because i didnt think you could.

    It also seems really weird that the people they say win the prizes also seem to win things on their other website. I emailed them to say this and they said they have a super computer.

    I want to know if i'm wasting my time thinking i might actually win something one day.

    In theory this could of course be done, but in practice I highly doubt that it will be. Websites like this are usually scams that make their money through advertising revenue generated from the traffic visiting their site. You could keep trying, but I doubt there'd be a prize on your doorstep if you entered every possible number combination

    Plus of course, everytime you refresh their pages, they're probably raking in Adsense goodness

    Even though that website is probably a scam, even on a legitimate website you wouldn't see how the numbers are hidden in the HTML code, it would be performed by some server side scripting language that the user can't see such as PHP.
