What do you do when you see your name as a winner?

I have just been looking at old Rafflecopters and my name is on there as a winner (there were no names yesterday and has only just finished this week). I have not heard anything about this, do I contact them or will they contact me? I can't find anything out about it. I looked on the 'How you are contacted' thread and this blog wasn't mentioned. I dont want to miss my prize, but there is nothing to say I have to contact them.

The original post didn't mention any terms. I think I would have given them my email and I know they have both my Twitter and Facebook details so should be able to contact me shouldn't they? How long should I leave it do you think?

I know Beautygeek don't contact winners. They announce the winner on the blog and you have 3 days to claim.
I would contact them if I were you.
Well done :j

This happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I waited a day or two to see if they emailed but they didn't. So I emailed them to ask and it was a different Emma J that had won!

It's definitely worth emailing them to check but I've always been emailed by blogs when I've won.

Fingers crossed it's you

Ive just found the T+Cs which state:

The winner will be drawn at random from all the entries, and only they will be contacted personally.
Prize must be taken as stated.
Entry restricted to UK & Eire Residents Only
Only entrants that have fulfilled the entry requirements will be eligible to win.
Winners have 7 days from competition end date to respond to the winning email if no response we reserve the right to redraw.

So Im wondering if they will actually contact me. I dont want to rush them by getting in touch if they are busy. Though only having 7 days from the comp end date and its the weekend now, perhaps I should get in touch. I just dont want to be pushy :rotfl:

Thanks, but its definately me as I have an unusual surname (Its got my full name on top of the blog before the Rafflecopter) and Ive checked the comments and there is no other person with my first name and second initial. (It wasn't a hugely popular comp and there were only just over 100 comments)

Forget all that, Ive just seen an email in my deleted section.

Must be more careful with my emails now. I bet I deleted it off my phone.

Well done x

I don't think it'll be pushy if you email them and say you're worried about not claiming in time etc. It'll just make you look like an avid fan of their blog

Oh oops, I missed your last message somehow, haha x
