    Maybe it depends on the company sending the prize out... the wins I havent recieved have been through Mother & Baby Magazine, I've recieved a win from one of their other mags & that got sent quickly
    Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:

    I think it depends on the magazine and the promoter. Won on the Your Horse bit twice, once a prize from Joules arrived within four days of winning email, the other a Musto jacket took two months to arrive.
    comps total: Jan 2010 £6000:j
