Swan Jackpot

Just won £50 on Swan Jackpot (http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1145123&highlight=swan) on just my 3rd go. Couldn't believe it!

Then went to confirm my postal address I got loads of database errors! Arghhh - not sure what to do now, I did have to enter my name and email address beforehand, so hopefully it has recorded that I did win. Though if the database is not working properly, that may be gone too :cry:

Or it could be that the win was a symptom of the system going haywire, so would not be honoured anyway. Can't find an email address to contact them on - only contact is a postal address...

Wail!!!
2012 Wins: Samsung Galaxy Note, AGC Pea Coat (from Looper film), various chocolate bars
2010 Wins: 4 Flake lipsticks (!) and a rubbish book :)

    REally makes me a bit sceptical to use it... imagine if you won £1000 and then lost it!
    Sorry and hope you get an email from them.,
