Is this legit?

Had a text this morning from "BRITVIC" saying I'd won a £50 Tesco voucher in the Fruit Shoot draw.

I do recall entering this a few times (you had to text a Tesco till receipt number) but as far as I knew, they notified winners the same day or the next day after each draw? And that comp finished a good two weeks ago now?
I hope I've actually won it and it's not just some scam!!

    Was hoping any other MSE'rs who had won this (I recall one or two a few weeks back) could confirm if this was how they received notification?
    The reason I was slightly suspicious was because it gave the instruction to "text ur name, address and postcode" and the use of text talk made me raise an eyebrow!

    I won on the Morrisons Halford draw and had a text asking saying I'd won and asking for my details. It could be you've won from a mop up draw?

    Thanks for that, mine was from Britvic and said to text TESCO plus contact details, strictly one voucher per household. Ah well I'll wait and see if anything turns up! :)

    terms and conditions are here http://tesco.fruitshoot.com/TsAndCs.aspx

    Does say if they can't contact a winner after 28 days they may redraw another winner so could be whats happened in your case.
