Have I actually won something or not ?

If my ignorance is plain to see then please forgive me .
Been comping for must be 5 or 6 months now , tried helping out and posting a few when I see them thought karma might spread its wings and all that palara .
Never won a thing in all those months . Not a sausage , yes I do recall a competition to win some meat that included sausages.:)
So I am a bit unsure as to what winning emails consist of .
Am I right in thinking this (shortened by me ) is a winning email or shall I still persevere for the biggun (A London Irish rugby season ticket will suffice as I can't afford it anymore although i've held one for nearly 30 years , times are such that I have to prioritise)
Anyway my email it says ,
Emerald street told us that you are one of are 10 winners of a Yoosli breakfast box blah blah blah .
It then goes on to tell me how I can order a Yoosli breakfast box at reduced rate for being a winner . It also gives me a code I should use when placing my order and says it entitles mme to 10 weeks of breakfast boxes and my order will continue after the 10 weeks until I tell otherwise or words to that effect .
Am I being a touch paranoid(they want my credit card details ) or is this normal practice ?
Like I say i've never won a thing so don't know how all this works.

Looking at the post above you should have won 10 boxes.
This just looks like they ie Yoosli are trying to get you to subscribe.
Don't know how you would get in touch with Emerald Street to ask about your prize though, sorry.0 -
Thanks elle with 2 mm's that could well be it .0

I don't know how Emerald Street contact winners, someone else may come along with more info or the win might just turn up in the post, well done on winning anyway0

I would reply to them saying how delighted you are to win the 10 boxes, but sadly you do not have a cc. You are looking forward to the first delivery, and do they need any more info from you?
Please try to eat them with milk and not lager for me?total wins 2013 £5500 2014 £7500 2015 £23,900 2016 £10,650 2017 £13,040 2018 £10,620 2019 £10,115 2020 £3970.00

What I think you have to do is set up an account using that code. It will give you 10 free weeks and then start charging you thereafter. Just set yourself a reminder to close it on the 9th week - but yes it is a win. :j (I have had to do something similar with a Gousto box and it is really easy to pause if you set yourself a reminder)
Congratulations - you may not have a sausage but you will have muesli!0 -
Ellsbells(typed as it sounds and no reference to the past poster) they don't make it easy do they ! and thanks(to ellsbells21) . Oh ! I think I get it now . Silly me. I don't know why I entered in the first place to be honest. Sids Not quite with it all the time :-)0
