Readers Digest competition

in I won! I won! I won!
Today I received through the post the Readers Digest competition numbers. If you agree to buy a book you also get added to a draw for a new car. I didn't want the book so I put my numbers in the 'NO' envelope and sent them back. You are still supposedly entered for the £250,000 draw. I'm a bit cynical and imagine all the 'NO' envelopes going in the bin, but seeing as they sent me this mail, I will send them one back in return. Has anybody won after semding back their numbers in a 'NO' envelope?
A problem shared is a problem multiplied. :o

    No, i dont even know anyone who has won something after sending their numbers in a YES envelope.
    We got Readers Digest for about 3 years and were inundated with thse things for years after we cancelled our subscription. Yest, i am very sceptical too and just see a bin full of NO envelopes.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    I remember reading an article once about this and people who said 'no' still did win.

    I used to work for a big company at one point, and although they were sloppy about some things they were always squeaky clean about competitions.

    I won other comps (posted in this forum) despite putting no marketing on the entries.
