Buying a second package while one is running

Buying again while you still hold days is almost never what somebody actually wants, so it is worth saying plainly what it would and would not do.

What it does not buy you

• Not a second main pick. There is one main pick a day, the same one for everybody. No amount of buying produces a second.
• Not earlier access. The release goes out to every reader at the same moment.
• Not a longer life for the days you already hold. They have no expiry to extend — see unused days.

What to do instead

If you want more days, top up. The days you buy are added to whatever is left, and the balance carries on being spent one winning day at a time. There is nothing to line up, nothing to schedule, and no gap to avoid: a package cannot run out while it still owes you days.

If you are signed out, checkout will stop you

Enter an email that already has an active package and the purchase does not go through — we ask you to sign in first. That is deliberate. Somebody buying again with days still on their account has almost always forgotten they are signed in somewhere else, and quietly taking the money is how that becomes a duplicate charge and a dispute nobody enjoys.
