Pepsi- could I have won?

That does seem harsh merdoom

I really think McVites should have stated one per househould. I would have thought the same as you.0 -
I got caught out by mcvities a few years ago entering for my partner and myself, really didn't think I was doing anything wrong at the time.
The way they check is the timings of the entries from the same ip, for example if you always enter yourself, then your partner shortly after it would show as a suspicious pattern, most t&cs then give the company the right to DQ you if they feel you may have been cheating or trying to gain extra entries.
I was gutted and felt awful as I really didn't see it as cheating, but wouldn't risk it again.
Did you win and they refused to give you the prize?0 -
I won only entering from my own email address, but I'm living at my Mum's and she enters some hours from herself and we're using the same router so it'll be the same IP address. She bought her own can of Pepsi Max for the code she uses, so it would be a unfair of Pepsi if they objected.
I got my WEM the hour after I entered, to answer the OP's question. It actually arrived at 20 past the hour, and my LEMs had been arriving at 23 mins past, so I reckon they might email the winner first (probably in case the email address doesn't work and they have to re-award it).0
