    Got my first one today, a cricket ball. Bit gutted as its nothing like a real one! (i know its advertised as a training one but still...)
    HOWEVER, its one of the ones I got in my missus' name after feeling guilty about how many Id won?!
    I wonder if ive been blacklisted due to the 15-20 balls I won in about 8 days?!!!?!!!

    Got a football today, in my daughters name.
    Still nothing in my name, which is how the majority of my wins were addressed...:confused:

    i got 6 footballs in the post a few days ago packed in two boxes, a few days before that i received a box of three rugby balls so i'm guessing they've grouped the balls for multiple winners together to save on postage so maybe that's what's been holding things up?
