I didn't get a golden ticket in the Sky mag but got one in the TV Choice mag. I won a watch too. It's nice to know what I won. Thank you again ajnt81.

I'm thinking of making a web site where you enter your e-mail address and every time I get a "Golden Ticket" or another item like that in a magazine, I ring up and get all the codes then e-mail them out.
Would anyone be interested in this, it'd be free obviously!

If just one person gets a prize that's worth claiming, which they would have thrown away otherwise, it's got to be worth it!

A great idea in theory but it may cost you a bit in finding out what the prizes were.

You could do the website but you could ask if anyone won a big prize to maybe make a donation to help with the upkeep of your site. I know I would if I got a good prize. Not eveyone is as honest but some are and maybe that could go towards the £9 per call or whatever.

Great idea ... go for it (but remember your Paypal donation button)

You don't actually have to pay the £9 for the call to get a claim number if you do decide you want to claim your prize. If you look at the small print, it says "For a claim number by post, write to Dept PCN, 'Pop-UP' at address below". There is then no address, but if you look on their website (http://www.purelycreative.co.uk/), it says for claim numbers the address is 1 Mannin Way, Lancaster Business Park, Caton Road, Lancaster, Lancashire LA1 3SU. You also have to include a SAE and allow 28 days for delivery. Then once you have the claim number you can send off your card for the prize (or not if it's the watch, like mine is!). I think it's law in UK that all such cards have to allow you to get the claim number by post via a stamped addressed envelope (so costs you about 60 pence rather than £9). I've done this before, and as long as you have a claim number you don't seem to need to fill in the bit about what award you are claiming (as this info is only available via the phone line). They'll just send you the prize - though you can bet it will be the most rubbish one. If you look at the small print, it tells you how much they have to award of each prize. In this case: 1*Mercedes Benz but 1000+* watches. Whatever prize has the + after it, the chances are that will be the thing you've won!!
