And make that another winner! I'm not taking it up as its the paintballs that they make the money on (on average 500 per session). If anyone wants my "prize" let me know and I'll dig it out of the recycling bin and put it in the mail.

I've won a couple of these in the past. I never bother, because you have to spend money.

i won one of these a short time back and gave it to me son him and a load of his navy mates went and had a ball they had free lunch and a whole day for a £10 and that covered all there paintballs. think it was the same company.

I won this too today. Reading through the leaflet it says each player has to pay £10 for the first 100 paintballs. Then later in the leaflet it says everyone gets through an average of 500 paintballs. Hardly a win if its going to cos everyone £50!!
What a shame i was so excited when i opened it too.

Me too, even though I ticked the 'don't enter me into the paintball comp' tickbox on the competition. (Think it was for an x-box or PS3 or something like that.)

I got one too!! Not a win if you have to spend out really! Will offer it to my hubby but doubt he will take it up!

These vouchers are available to buy in places like Asda for £25. Personally I think it's a reasonable prize. If you were to go paintballing you'd pay to play on top of paying for the paintballs. With the voucher you play for free, just paying for the paintballs you use.

I won one last year and gave it to a friend who used it for her son's 18th birthday, they had a fantastic time and it saved my friend money.

I guess it's like any other prize, it's only of value to you if you can use/sell/give to someone.

Well one on your win everyone.
