What has facebook done?

I am not receiving notifications when I am being tagged in a post saying I have won e.g. Dorset Tea and Smart Start Toys to name just two.

I am also seeing increasing numbers of prizes not being claimed and wonder if this is the cause.

Does anyone have any ideas or tips to ensure I don't miss any other Winning Notifications? I have changed all privacy settings to make it all very public.

This happened to me, although I wasn't tagged - Thanks to a kind member on this site, who let me know I had won. I do wonder if I have missed prizes on facebook... not much help I know - just sharing my experience.

Thanks iantrogg, a regular Google works well. I always do Congratulations (my name) and Winner (my name) once a week. I find many that way!

I used to search my name on The Winners Circle and it brought up any mentions at all. Now it just brings up posts that I have made myself.

What is the Winners Circle? I feel I have been missing out!

https://www.facebook.com/groups/315412321841373/

It's a group where people post Facebook winners.

This happened to me the other day, and I only caught it by using Social Searcher.

But fortunately on another win I was tagged in the Winners Circle

Create an interest list- it's not perfect but you should see winner announced messages that way.

Just went to look at the Winners Circle and it says its a closed group. Does this mean it is no longer running?

Zanzib

No it means you can't just join, you have to apply to join.

I got "content unavailable" for this.
