I did it, I won

in I won! I won! I won!
Just had a phone call to say I've won a 7 night holiday, in one of four locations. Just have to pay for flights with them, insurance with them and attend a presentation with them.

They've given me another number to ring to claim my prize:j

To be honest, I don't think I'll bother, I have a sneaking suspicion it might be timeshare;)

    Type the number into google and see what comes up. Sound suspiciously like the holiday I "won" a couple of months back.

    Ah, what a shame. Was really pleased for you until I read the post...

    Hang in there, a proper win will come along.

    Definitely timeshare - and buying the flights and insurance with them will probably cost more than the holiday itself!

    Never mind - keep trying, there's loads of real prizes out there just waiting for you.
