Golden snowflake ticket

Hello fellow MSE hope you are all doing well.
I just want to pick your brains. In the News of the World yesterday ( at least I think that was were it came from) was a ticket the type of thing where they say "have you got £10b in this wallet?"
This was called Golden snowflake ticket and is run by a co in Lancaster. You have to ring up a premium rate:eek: number v expensive for 6 mins but allegedly the min I can win is £250 or a holiday.
Has anyone ever rung up and if so was it worth the cost of the phone call?
Thanks for reading

Ah it had to be too good to be true. I couldn't work out where or what the fiddle would be. It didn't click it would be one of the holidays.
Thanks Welshman I'll throw it away in the bin where it belongs.

Something similar fell out of the Xmas RadioTimes. In the very small print it says the holiday is a coach holiday to Italy & you have to pay a "refundable deposit" to book - a very strange sort of prize!From MSE Martin - Some General Tips On Holiday Home Organisations and Sales Meetings

Call myself a MSE and I didn't read the small print. OMG I need flogging!!!!!!!!!!0
