in I won! I won! I won!
Had an email from mccoys to say i won a 3d tv. Checked the packet and i have the packet however the code i entered the first few days was right howevet the last few days i have mixed the time up and instead of putting 18:17 as the time i have put 17:18. Now im not sure if i will be disqualified as i have made a genuine mistake and put the wrong time in thinking it was right.

I cant belive i have been so stupid not sure if i shuf email them and let them know my possible mistake. Dont want to lose out on this as iv wanted a new tv for years.

Im really upset with myself for not checking the wrapper and going with my memory. What an idiot

    oh poor you i hope it works ok out, BUT can you remember where you brought the bag of crisps from, would be worth a gander back and see if they had any with the right time on, if you were lucky and brought it from a sleepy store you could be in luck and there will be others with the time code on?

    Oh good luck with this

    I know in the past I have got codes mixed up and because its been genuine and easily spotted how its done like your codes have been I've managed to still get my prize

    however unfortunately because of all the people lets say 'bending' the rules on Mccoys comps I know they are cracking down on thier terms and conditions

    so good luck and let us know how you get on

    *crosses fingers*
    A heap big thank you to everyone who posts the comps, your all stars!
