    It's a scam! You have to pay for the paintballs, I think someone said it ends up about £50 pp. But omg your user name is so like mine rofl

    Yes, I "won" this too, even though I ticked the box to say I didn't want (yet another!) paintballing prize........ :)
    I suspect that everyone who entered that particular competition is likely to "win" the paintballing voucher :D
    Best win ever: Trip to the Galapagos Islands in 2010

    I have now won this "prize" 3 times and binned it 3 times. It is a very expensive "prize" as the paintballs cost a small fortune and you will need to buy at least 200 per person for a decent days paintballing. However if you are happy with the prize have a good day.
    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
  • Yeah I won too. Got all excited (for about 2 minutes) then i realised i had to pay £10 per 100 balls, which according to eldest child will last "about 2 mins"
    Oh well ......
