  • The first valid entry drawn at random by an independent judge from all entries received by the Closing Date will win the Prize. In the event of any dispute the decision of the Promoter is final. In the event of unforeseen circumstances the Promoter reserves the right to substitute the prize for an alternative of equal or greater value. No correspondence will be entered into.

    Does this condition mean they don't have to give us anything?

    Aww sorry you all got your hopes up guys. Guess it's just down to a human or technical error. I must be one of the only ones who didn't enter-normally do enter all boots comps and only yesterday had an email re one of their other competitions, though just saying dear valued customer-sorry you haven't won this time, guess that's what they meant to send out to 99% of you on this comp too.
    [COLOR="Px (urple"]Good luck for 2025 Comping! Be lucky! [/COLOR]

    I know lots of people want compensation (maybe rightfully so) but spare a thought for poor person that made the mistake. With everyone making such a big deal about this it's probably not going to end well for them.
