I will wait and see what they say..........THEN demand my choccies!!!!

They probably won't honor any grabby claims because it is very clear when the draw takes place, so it is an obvious mistake.

There is absolutely no need for that! I am sure there will not be any 'grabby claims'

I just got this too "Your entry has been drawn as the winner"

Shame, I wouldn't mind that prize

Look up, already grabby claims being made. I've seen this many times, always ends up with self inflicted disappointment and anger because people started assuming they can make a valid claim against an obvious mistake...whether it be competitions or misprices. True, very rarely people can get lucky and see it honored, but the anger they display when it isn't is quite pathetic.

It's the only problem with MSE...breeds grabby grabbers :rotfl:

Ignoring the idiot above I have just received this:


Our sincere apologies - our system has incorrectly emailed 25 people advising that they have won our October competition. We know that you will be disappointed, but the competition does not close until the 31 October, and the winner will not be announced until the 1 November.

However, thank you for entering our October competition, and you have correctly identified that Brussels is the capital of Belgium.

Your entry will be placed in a draw to be held on the 1 November, and the winner will be notified by email. Our apologies again for the error and our system has now been corrected.

Good Luck!

I sent a reply acknowledging that I had worked it out and didn't expect any choccies!:rotfl:

Hi Elsietanner

I think the message you quote was written by someone completely devoid of a sense of humour.

Oh dear, I was so excited I already added it to my October wins on my signature...better remove it...never mind, my diet consultant would kill me if I ate them!
