Too late?

I received an email on Thursday saying I had won something but did not reply within the stated 72 hours as I was away (actually only saw the email this morning) Are companies really strict on this rule? What are the chances of still receiving the prize?

  • if it's company you may have time as the weekend is not usually a working day - I believe the IPM guidelines are for comps to allow 28 days for a win to be claimed so that may b worth checking out

    It may also depend on whether they've redrawn for another winner yet. Fingers crossed they haven't. If you haven't emailed them yet, I should do so as soon as you possibly can.
