Question about ITV wins

Nicolay

I was just entering a Real Deal competition and a question popped into my head. If they can't get through to the person that's won when they ring, either because the winner has no signal or haven't reached the phone in time, do they ring back? How many times would they re-try before passing the prize on? And if they cant get in touch by phone, would they email?

If I was ever lucky enough to win a cash prize (or any prize from ITV for that matter! ) I'm worried they wouldnt be able to get through because when I'm at uni I cant get any signal at all in the buildings and I'm there for most of the day before I return home.

I have noticed on the winners page "they are trying to contact the winner" so i guess they keep trying

they will call back ,dont worry

crackout

They will continue to attempt to contact you. I missed a call from them last year, they didn't block their number so I was able to call back the following day.

I am sure I remember reading on their website that they would call every working day for a month and then attempt contact by email, pretty sure they have taken that down but I would imagine that a similar process would still be involved.

When they called me (Real Deal win) it was a 020 number. I actually rang it back incase someone was winding me up lol

I often wonder that too! I was lucky to win an ITV comp to Florida, but I was luckily at home when they rang - dread to thing whet would have happened if I wasn't!!!

Good luck everyone!

i often wondered the same! Thanks for bringing this up as we are all hoping to be ITV winners! My phone has to be switched off at work so most of the time i don't take it and just check my msgs when i get home. would they leave a message with their number do you think?

i am always on my e-mail account so hopefully they would e-mail if they couldn't get hold of you one the phone after a few days.

GL everyone! hope everyone has a lucky 2011!

What a great question because it's something I have always wondered about too! lol

So thank you for asking it!

Great question!

Also, to those that have won with ITV, how many times did you enter? Did you just enter once? Or, did you enter 6 times on the phone?

I was also wondering, are you able to keep entering ITV comps after winning, or is there a cooling off period.

The reason I ask is because I avoid entering the random ITV competitions for prizes (Like the Xfactor cosmetic ones), incase I win one preventing me from winning a cash one - if that makes sence..
