Win a Tower of Easter Eggs on Heart Breakfast: Full Contest Rules for 2026
Heart Breakfast is launching an exciting promotion that could see you winning a stack of Easter eggs matching your height. Hosts Jamie and Davina are bringing this festive opportunity to listeners, offering enough chocolate treats to share with friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors. The contest, titled "Win Your Height in Easter Eggs," promises a fun and generous prize for one lucky winner each day.
Contest Details and Entry Process
The promotion is organized by Global and will run from Monday, March 30, 2026, to Thursday, April 2, 2026, exclusively on The Heart Network Breakfast show, excluding Heart Scotland. To enter, participants must listen to Heart Breakfast during this period and text the keyword EGG to 8 21 22. The text message line will open and close at specific times announced on air, and entries outside these windows will not be valid, though standard network charges may still apply.
Text messages are charged at standard network rates and are typically not included in inclusive packages. Entrants should verify details with their service provider and obtain permission from the bill payer if necessary. The promotion prohibits bulk, automated, or group entries, and Global reserves the right to disqualify suspicious or fraudulent submissions, including those from duplicate IP addresses or phone numbers.
Eligibility and Participation Requirements
This contest is open only to UK residents aged 18 and over who are based in the UK at the time of entry. Each person is limited to one entry, and using multiple names or phone numbers is strictly forbidden. Participants must use the same phone number throughout the promotion period. After the text line closes, eligible entries will be entered into a draw, with two selected at random within an hour.
If chosen, a representative from Heart Breakfast will call the entrant on the number used for entry. The call may be recorded and used for broadcast purposes. Participants must answer personally, as calls cannot be taken by others or go to voicemail. Disconnections or issues like background noise may lead to disqualification, with another entrant selected instead.
On-Air Competition and Prize Structure
Selected entrants will participate in a head-to-head quiz during a phone call. A presenter will ask questions, and players must buzz in by shouting their name. Correct answers earn one point, and the player with the most points after 30 seconds wins. Tie-breaks follow similar rules, with the first correct answer deciding the winner.
The prize consists of chocolate Easter eggs equivalent to the winner's height. To calculate the number, the winner's height in centimeters is divided by 14 (the height of an Easter egg box) and rounded up. For example, a winner who is 180cm tall would receive 13 eggs. Prizes will be delivered within 28 days via special delivery, and winners must provide their height off-air before the competition.
Additional Rules and Data Protection
Winners may be required to provide photo ID and proof of address to verify eligibility. The prize is non-transferable and non-refundable, and Global reserves the right to substitute it with one of equal or greater value. Personal data provided during entry will be processed by Global and its partners for administration and regulatory purposes, retained for up to three years, and may be used for marketing if consent is given. Entrants can request data erasure, but this may forfeit their chance to win.
By entering, participants agree to the promotion's terms and conditions, including potential use of their name, image, and location for publicity. For inquiries, contact Global's customer support team via their website.
