    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

    Even though it said you would be notified by phone on 06/06 and I got an e-mail?
    Just can't believe I've been so lucky
    do you know how long it is before lucozade contacts you my kids are soooooooo excited.........okay okay so am I lol:rotfl:

    I wouldn't worry about being contacted by email rather than being phoned, if you are really worried phone the Evening Standard switchboard in the morning and ask to be put through to the person that emailed you.

    I do really think, you have won though!

    Besides your address/telephone number is easily obtainable from phone book, electoral register etc, they are not asking for anything like bank details, NI number etc.

    I've won with comps where they say the'll phone if you're a winner & an email's been sent instead & vice-versa....I still think it's a genuine win . I wouldn't hesitate in sending my details off...If you are still at all concerned, do as Rainey suggested & give Evening Standard a ring tomorrow.
