Is this a genuine paintball prize from Menshealth?

Postman delivered a letter today with a hand written note from PR company Incredibull.com saying i had won a paintballing day for myself and 7 mates at IPG paintball. It said the prize was comnpliments of mens health and wigadoo.com and on the leaflet it has a hand written tracking number on it and is valid till 22/08/09.

I have had these before and you pay £10 per player etc but this comp is the one listed here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1261969&highlight=paintball

What do you guys think?
Should i phone the PR company and ask?
Any other winners on MSE?

Anyway many thanks to Kipper for posting the comp:beer:

  • Some people aren't keen on these paintball prizes, others love em!

    Personally I think they're ok. I won once but couldn't go so gave my voucher to a workmate who used it for her son's 18th birthday. They had a great time.

    You can buy the paintball vouchers in places like Asda (little plastic gift cards). They're for Nationwide Paintball though, which most of the previous MSE wins have been for.

    The £10 per person deposit is usually refunded in the form of paintballs which I think is reasonable.

    Well done on your win and have fun :T

    I won a similar prize last year , the prizes are ok as long as you are aware that you will probably have to buy your own paintballs and they can be expensive. The cost should be in the T&Cs on your leaflet. For a days play for 8 you could need over a 100 balls each.

    Well done on your win.
    Many thanks to the wonderful staff at Birmingham Childrens Hospital caring for my tiny and very poorly grandson who was born at 29 weeks. Thanks to them he is getting a little stronger every day.:A:A:A
