An Emerald ticket?

I may have won something!

A gamecard of some sort dropped out of Eve magazine, saying 'Look inside for a special emerald ticket'. I now have an emerald ticket which, apparently, entitles me to claim one of the following Emerald awards:

£1,000,000 cash
£100,000 cash
Audi TT or £25,000 cash
Mortgage or rent paid for a year
Disneyland Paris weekend break for 4
Philips flat screen TV
Digital camera
£250 cash
Free groceries for a year
£100 cash

The catch, of course, is that they want me to spend £9 on a phone call or text messages to get my claim code - however, there's also an address to write to with an SAE to get a claim code.

The promotion's run by https://www.purelycreative.com - anyone come across them before and is it worth sending them an SAE or is it a giant con?

It will be the digital camera and the digital camera will be naff. Was expecting there to be a watch on there but maybe in the world of rip-off comp scams they've moved up to cameras now.

Could possibly be the Disneyland one and it will be some weird vouchers where you have to pay out more than they're worth to use them.

Thanks - thought there'd be a catch. Read the very, very, very small print and the digital camera is the most common prize (500+) plus there's a £6.50 recorded delivery charge to claim it.

Ah, there you go.

Shame, but you'll get a real win soon!
