So I posted a while ago, I got told by MacUser I won an ipad and accessories and a printer and things. Then got told I hadnt as they thought the previous winner was not eligible to win, and now they realised he was eligible I won nothing.
I've gone through the ASA, but they can't force them to give me the prize, and im well and truly upset.
Any ideas what to do now?

their T&Cs state "Where for any reason there are more winners than prizes on offer, the Editor reserves the right to conduct a simple draw to determine the winner or winners of the prizes" They didnt do this!! WAAAAAH.16 Goals for 2016

I can only sympathise/empathise beepow - I've had something similar happen to me in the past with a prize of a similar value and, even though I won the case the ASA brought against the organisers, I didn't get the prize
I put it down to experience and didn't let it put me off comping - don't let the b*tards grind you down - I know this may be of small consolation when you were so excited and when it was such an amazing prize
Perhaps Toniq can give some ideas? If she's around she often has some helpful insight

It's so annoying and disappointing! I'm just hoping Karma will mean I get a good win soon. xxx16 Goals for 2016
