    well done.

    my mum had 2 extra cheques she was not due. these were from near the start when she won a 2nd £50 on the same day. she did not claim for these but they were sent to her anyway and she cashed them with no problems.

    enjoy spending :)

    I received an 'extra' cheque a while a go - they contacted me about 2/3 weeks after to say it was a dupe cheque and it had already been cancelled so be careful cashing it. That was quie a while ago though and a few other people had dupe cheques too so maybe it is a redraw?

    My mum is still waiting for original cheque from October so they had better not be doing redraws before paying out to the original winners. :(

    Wow - well done.
    I am still waiting for a cheque from August, and they are ignoring all of my emails so I guess they have decided I'm not worthy lol
    Dream of being mortgage free....
