HI

Ive had it happen to me before. I received a letter saying i had won a main prize in a comp, but it turns out i was only a runner up and the letter was sent in error. They compensated me by throwing in a few extra prizes.
I suppose mistakes do happen, and although a dissapointment, at least they have compesated you slightly.
Fingers crossed you have a big win soon

true but a £30 comp is slightly diff to a near 1000 pound prize.

Can you not send a cheeky message back and say its a poor compensation for the £1000 prize you were led to believe you had won? Its got to be worth a shot! You never know they might reward you with something better than £30! Keep us updated

I'd be devestated being led to believe I'd won all that then being offered a £30 Zavvi voucher is like a kick up the bum! I don't know what to suggest but I'd be pretty annoyed too. Hope u sort something out and get lots of big wins to make up for this. xx

I've backed you up on FB Gary with an extra comment, they should at least attempt to give you the equiv.

Agreed - mistakes are made but £30 is a bit of a slap in the face

I would kick up a fuss and hope they dig a bit deeper.:D
