could this be a scam?

I had a letter a few weeks ago from a company called wye Valley promotions, saying that I have won a prize if my unique Id number matches one of the pre selected numbers. You can either phone a premium number to get your claim code or write to them. Because there is the latter option, I wondered if it was legit. When I typed wye Valley promotions competition in Google, one of the hits was a comp on here to win love to shop vouchers. Think it ended in December last year. Anyway, the reason I'm wondering about it is because I had another letter today to say I have not responded to their letter and I'm definitely entitled to a prize if my numbers match theirs. So, would any of you be tempted to write and ask for the claim number, have any of you heard of the company? Would really appreciate some guidance. Thanks

Is it from the Unclaimed Prize Rollout? If so it's rubbish. I had another letter today telling me I hadn't responded and threw it in the bin.0

I also had a letter today saying that I hadn't claimed or some rubbish. Gave it to my 15 month old to rip to shreds.

I would not bother personally. I have never had a competition win where there was an option to ring a premium rate number.0
