I won an XBox 360 on Mirror Grotto Comp!!

Hi guys, as you can see by my post count I am a very new member of MSE but really think it is a great site and will serve me well over the next year whilst I try and sort my financial mess out.

I had never seen the competitions forum before but had a quick look over it last night, first one that stood out to me was the Mirror grotto comp in conjunction with GAME. So I thought, what the heck, its free!! My girlfriend had a go first of all m trying a grid reference near to where people on the site had said it was very hot. Unfortunately she only got, VERY HOT + Warmer. It was then my turn, thinking I had a good chance of at least a game I entered my guess at the grid reference. Couple of secs later I got a txt message back:T Your selection XXXX is a winner. You have won an Xbox 360.Game will contact you soon. Sweet Jesus!! I have only ever won 1 thing before and that was a Woolworths competition to see Michael Jackson on his BAD tour at Wembley in the 80's, I was 8:) This will come in very handy but I will have to sell it, due to the financial mess I am in but hey, a free Xbox 360:) Just wanted to say a big thankyou to the people who had given their grid references so it made my win a little easier. Thankyou:j
