Competition Contact

sachatith

Hi all

Firstly a HUGE thank you to everyone on this board
I am a newbie to comping and I am loving it, the entering, the buzz everytime I get an email (a lot) and the buzz of the three prizes I've one in the past week wasn't expecting anything so was very pleased.

Anyway my questions is, do competitions always contact you if they have won or do some of them just send the stuff out? My Auntie has done some comping but through different sites and she reckons sometimes she has won but just had prizes turn up. If that's the case then I am just going to be very excited all the time!

Thanks

I always presumed they would send a WEM or phone call, however last week I had a book turn up out of the blue from a comp post on here so it seems some companies don't contact you first! I was so pleased and excited with that book, and like you it has now got me wondering each morning if the postie will have a surprise for me!!

Hi, and welcome. Most of my wins have just turned up, including my best so far, which was a hamper packed with M&S goodies and Microsoft goodies. So I suggest you go for the 'excited all the time' option. That's pretty much my attitude to comping

Most of my wins just appear

Ive only had 3 wins just appear, most for me I have been expecting, but I am still excited all the time, then disappointed once I realise I have received nothing for that day. Its the same every postal day. Sundays I relax a bit more.

:j well done on your wins up to now :j
sometimes you'll recieve a WEM (winning email) sometimes you can get contacted by phone (WTC) the majority of weekly mags such as take a break, that's life etc always send out a headed LWE (Long white envelope or Long winning envelope)
but, some just turn up :j like your auntie says
had quite a few of them :j it's all exciting whichever way they come,
lots of good luck & fairy dust for you :j
