Whats the biggest prize you have missed out on through deleting emails or missing winners list etc?

Mine was this one in 2011


"Thank you for entering The Prince’s Trust Rock Gala 2011 competition as featured on the Bicester Village website.

I am delighted to let you know that you have won the following prize:

Two tickets to The Prince’s Trust Rock Gala 2011 on Wednesday 23rd November at the Royal Albert Hall in London, an overnight stay for the 23rd November in a corner suite at The Westbury Hotel in Mayfair and a backstage meet and greet with some of the show’s performers."

I only found out when I read the email to tell me I hadn't responded in time and it was being redrawn The corner suite was £1600 a night :eek:

I deleted the email because I read the header quickly and didn't see "Congratulations" at the end, since then I have so many filters on my email that hopefully it won't happen again

Mine was a £650 pair of headphones. Like you I didn't see any emails until the one saying "Sorry, we've had to redraw"

I hope this isn't to negative a subject, but I have had loads of wins since, so I don't mind talking about the one that got away

Don't know if this counts but I won a holiday to Lanzarote and couldn't take it as it was for specific dates and I'd booked another holiday for those exact dates 4 days before!

Never missed an email, but did have to turn down a trip to London last year (overnight stay in a hotel plus trains paid for) as it was for a specific date (which I knew when I entered, but only got the WTC the day before so couldn't organise the day off work in time)

Asked them to redraw so hopefully someone else had a fab time!

I won the mastercard UEFA mascot experience for my son, But i didn't read the t + c's fully. He was a couple of months off the age range, so missed out. We were gutted (lesson learned)
but it spurred me on and the next month i won £1000 cash
