Olivier Awards Tickets, not sure where from?

Got a phonecall about 5.30pm to say I had won tickets with Mastercard to the Olivier Awards on Sunday, which is great, not sure where I entered though, have searched and can only find the Telegraph which would have been fab but thats was the full works or the Daily Mail but even that included £150 towards a hotel and the man on the phone never mentioned that just gave me the address of where to pick the tickets up from on Sunday, so not sure who to thank.
If anyone else knows of any other comp it could have been, I would be grateful if you could let me know.
Why is it, when once you put the phone down you suddenly have loads of questions you wished you had asked, lol.

    I won too - it's from weeowens' comp here: CLICKY (Daily Mail/mastercard competition). He just said he was calling on behalf of Mastercard on the phone.

    And yes, you do get £150 for accommodation! He didn't mention it to me, I'd declined as I have a lunch that day, then I dug out the comp and realised there was the £150 with it too so I called him back and said could I still accept and asked about the dosh. He was a bit vague to start with and said about reimbursing travel, then I pointed out that it said accommodation and mentioned the amount, then he came back to me saying yes they would reimburse me up to £150. Said it would be confusing to sort on the day, and they'd probably send me a cheque the following week.

    I booked the Grange Holborn for £114 on laterooms (down from £300, 5*).

    I asked him to send me an email with details on, and there are 2 contact numbers on. Not sure I'll online later, but you're welcome to try PMing me for them if you didn't get the email.

    Please note it's a black tie event - he didn't mention that. I was lucky enough to win tickets (and hotel) last year. One of my fave prizes so far! It's a great night, and you'll probably have to walk up the red carpet! :D
