    Ive noticed that there are quite a few competitions that you have to keep checking the sites to see if your name has been posted and then you have to claim it...bit naughty that one i think.

    All of the above too. I've found the biggie prizes, e.g. worth over a grand, I have only received a phonecall for and no letter or other contact.
    Whether we win or lose,
    that we played at all was a winning decision. :D
    2011 wins £12,292
    2012 wins ...
    Thank you to all who post on here!!!! :A

    We could do with making a list of those websites? Could do a thread on the I won board at least listing them to begin with?

    Rushes to immediately google user name :D :rotfl:

    Seriously though, did that once, found that I'd won a comp in March. Sent them a nice email, ended up with a rather nice bag for my other half. :)


    MMMMM take a looky here:

    It's a bit weird what is it? Some sort of search enginy thing?


    Yippeee Black Saturn, I found me a win on Video-C, I've emailed them! :D

    Win one of 20 limited edition cards, each containing a code for 10 free downloads. And check out new talent and iTunes discovery KATE WALSH. Her album 'Tim’s House',

    OMG I googled my name and it came up in connection with [thread=477912]this comp[/thread] You've got me wondering now :tongue: The link to the website won't work so I can't check it out. Oh well, guess I'll just have to wait and see if anything arrives in the post :rolleyes:
