I have sipped from the holy grail of comps

Sitting at my desk at work today, heard my comping phone ringing in my drawer. I looked at the caller display and it was an 0207 number, I thought "ok, that's the ITV number, but it might not be them."

I answered the phone and sure enough it was ITV, I thought "ok, they do call for questionnaires and surveys on their products".
I went though the whole "yes I am over 18" and "no, I am not related to any ITV employees".

And then I was old that I was the winner of the 20/06/14 Real Deal competition and had won £12,000.

I did the whole "you've got to be kidding, this is a wind up" thing, but they said "no, it's true". Sure enough my name appeared on the website 20 minutes later.

So yeah, massive thanks to comping cat that posted the comp I still can't quite believe it.

To note, I only enter the ITV comps online and over 3 mobile phone numbers, so for real deal, 9 competition entries.
