How can you tell if its a winning email

I was just wondering if all Winning Emails (WEM) are obvious?
I've won and been notified by winning email once and it was fairly obvious and all of that "congratulations you have won"
Is it everyone else's experience that its so obvious? I get so many junk emails as I am sure everyone else does, and it would take forever sifting through them all.
I dont seem to be winning much anymore I just hope its my bad luck not me missing some win that wasn't obvious from the title, and is actually contained within the body of the emails.
Thoughts please?
Thanks in advance

I haven't been comping very long (mid-April) and this month is the first time I have received WEMs and I have to say that they were pretty obvious to me that they were winning ones but I always open things first and check them unless the heading is blatantly a newsletter that I am not interested in and then I just Junk them!
HTH - I haven't received a WTC or LWE yet - can't wait because they are usually biggies!!!

Nearly all of mine have either said 'Congratulations' or 'You are a winner' in the subject line.
They have all been very obvious.Thanks to everyone who posts comps, I love winning prizes big and small

Does everyone get alot of junk mail with all the entering? I get a couple of hundred pieces a week. Nightmare getting through those!

same here hundreds a day to sort through.....sometimes i log in and have 100+ emails and i think to myself there must be at least one winners email in this lot but there never is.:o0 -
I have a clear out every month or so where I unsubscribe myself from mailing lists and mark things as spam etc.
Also some email providers (Hotmail I think?) can allow you to preview emails without opening them up.0 -

WEMs from SKY come as a newsletter, at least mine did when I won the steam washing machine. I would have deleated it, but it's one of the ones I read anyway. As it was asking for my delivery details I would have probably missed out on it.£2021 in 2021 no.17 £1,093.20/£20210
