Shrek ? Have I won or not?

I've just checked my emails and I've got two from AKA promotions.

The first one says congrats Mrs .S you've won stay in london and tckets..which I'd love!!

but then straight after that another email almost identical to the first but 'sorry not this time' I'm hoping the second email is a standard that other people may have received it?

I've searched the comp and i did enter it thanks Gorgeestwo :j

    Same happened to me, I received an email saying "You have won a Shrek boxset", then straight after another email with the subject "SORRY NOT THIS TIME", but in this second email it said that I hadn't won but tickets to Shrek The Musical were still available,so I am assuming they meant I hadn't won tickets for the musical?... have you checked if both emails specified a prize?

    edit: oh, I replied to the first email to amend the address they should send the boxset...let's see if they reply tomorrow :)
    London Fashion Week tickets, Clinique Facial treatment set (I see it as a win :P) Mario Power Tennis Wii game, Aura by Swaroski perfume, Theatre Tickets to 'A woman alone' :T, £1000 with Kerrang's Scream4Cash, Links of London Wedding Themed Bracelet, Chipmunk O2 launch party tickets, Adidas All In gig tickets, Water For Elephants Double Bill tix
  • I guess they could send out the sorry you have not won this time email to everyone, only the winners also get their winning email?

    As people have said reply to the email and you put the ball in their court, I wish you all the best.
