RE. ..New Scientist shopping vouchers

painterjohn

Got a very pleasant email from New Scientist - I enclose below.

( can I count this as a win??? coz that will double my total!)

Thank you for taking part in our recent Christmas Scratchcard and apologies for the delay in replying to you.

The online game experienced extreme technical problems from the outset and had to be withdrawn almost immediately. We have been working with our developers to understand the extent of these problems and how they came about. It appears that a major factor may have been the game being posted on an online forum, which was unauthorised and affected the registration process, causing the winning screen to appear to more than the advertised five winners. As a result we have a number of emails from people claiming to have won who cannot be verified on our registration database.

Your entry is one of those we cannot match to our database. We are sorry for any disappointment this may cause you. We designed the game with the best of intentions and have been working hard to come up with a solution that is as fair as possible to everyone involved.

We would therefore like to send you a £10 Amazon voucher, which you will receive by email in the New Year.

We would all like to wish you a Merry Christmas and hope you enjoy the upcoming holiday.

I'm counting it as a win John ... same as you, I've just won a scarf and the £10 Amazon voucher in December. It's not quite the end of the month yet though and, hey, it's the taking part that's half the fun

LOL posting a competition on a forum doesn't excuse the bad coding of the site.
