I got an e-mail last week saying I had won a watch, I wasn't sure if I had won for definite because I also got two futher emails saying I had been unsucsessful so I decided to leave and see if anyone contacted me or even better the watch turned up, two weeks later I heard nothing (and believe me I sit next to my phone and pray for it to ring with a fabulous win !!) I contacted them today and they said 'yes I have won but because they couldn't contact me they've given it to someone else in accordance with the t&C's 
How do I know they did contact me ?? I have had no missed calls on my phone, no messages on my voicemail nothing. Feel a bit sad about this tbh, would of been a lovely win.

But you said it was an email informing you that you had won?
I think you'll struggle tbh as they did try to contact you but you didn't answer them.
