Only started comping this week after being impressed with a friends' wins so was incredibly excited to see "Congratulations: You're a winner" on a e-mail title from Blue Banana.
So I click open, heart racing, scroll down holding my breath and read this....
Congratulations Anna you're a prize winner
The main prize draw for the £100 Festival Competition Giveaway will happen after the close of the competition, just before the festival. You have been entered into the prize draw.
You have been automatically entered into the supplemental draw and you have won.

So I clicked - anticipation is high now! - and then I read this:
Use this code at the Blue Banana checkout to buy any official band t-shirt for just £10!
:rotfl: Not so much a win but a promotion code then!
Oh well, it still made me smile and my heart beat faster seeing that e-mail title, roll on the time its for real
