I enter a comp, get a call from the promoter which starts with "you entered a competition recently ......" Heart starts pounding, you hold your breath & wait to hear what you have won and they say...."you didn't win but as a thank you we'd like to offer you a discount" 😡
I find it worse than a LEM :mad:
