ITV Winners some questions

Options
I've a few questions to ask those of you who have (been lucky enough) to win on any ITV competition. When you received the call first time to tell you you had won did you think it was a wind up or a junk call at first (dodgy phonecall etc)? When they confirmed you had won how long did you have to wait to receive your prize or was the money deposited into you bank account within a day or two?
and finally have you ever appeared on the show you won on to tell the viewers how much you won etc?

    Hi andrew71,

    When I got the call - I could tell straight away it was serious as I had to check my personal details before she told me I had won. It was mainly the shock of actually winning I couldn't believe! So that made me rather speechless and I just kept saying 'omg, really, omg' for the duration of the phone call.

    I waited 31 days for my cheque to arrive. It was an agonising wait as it doesn't seem real until you are holding that cheque … but then when you do it is definitely worth the wait :)

    I've never been on TV to talk about my win but only won in April 2014. If I got asked I probably would appear on TV if travel expenses were paid etc as it really has changed my life and come at a time when I needed the money most.

    I won Real Deal - £3000

    I won £20K and a designer products package worth around £10K.

    They emailed me as my number was not active for a while. It took more than a month for the money to be deposited into my account.

    They asked me to come for a studio tour.
    Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing ;)
