I have been to an Outback Steakhouse and they are fantastic....but it is a US chain of restaurants.
I would delete the email. Thanks to all OP's your efforts are much appreciated :A0 -
Normally if you win they will us your name. Always be cautious. If it doesnt seem familiar then it probably isn't a win. If you struggle to remember what you enter on facebook make a note of them somewhere so you can refer back to it£2 Savers Club for 2022 #120

If you have won this you could always sell it on ebay quoting postage cost to USA and ticking the box to display in America and Canada which I think adds 5p to the listing for an auction (more for a buy it now)
Good luck!0 -

I got it too and I have signed up for Outback as we recently went on holiday to America and I did think it was genuine for a couple of seconds!
Then I saw it said I had won it through Facebook and thought if I had, I would have had a message via Facebook and then it said click here - dodgy!!!
Too many people have had the same email!

There are some Outback Steakhouses in the UK - only 3 now, but there used to be more so if would be easy for people to be fooled by these emails.0
