It looks like a standard winning email to me .........They don't ask for bank details, just addy & phone ...I'd be sending off my details with a smile on my face ....it's a cracking win
Just an edit to add I've been comping for over 10 years & I've had many a winning email that's like that

I think its a genuine win - Congratulations!!
I remember entering that comp and thinking what on earth I would do with 59 cases of Lucozade!!
It's common you are contacted to confirm your address/telephone number before a prize is sent out, its also normal that the prize will be sent out from a PR company on behalf of the company running the competition which is who they will pass your details to.
Edit : To answer your question about the Evening Standard, I haven't won from them but I notice your from Scotland so to confirm London Evening Standard is a big publication down here.:hello:0 -
:T:T Wow, a BIG congratulations, what a fantastic win :beer:0
