Can anyone solve this mystery please?
I recently won some Foster Grant sunglasses on a Take A Break click to win.
I entered quite a few sunglasses comps recently, so can't remember the exact Ts&Cs but most were for two pairs.
Anyway, I had a WEM saying I'd won one of 23 "sets" of sunglasses, which suggests more than one pair, but only one arrived in the post.
That was fine as I may have also entered for a single pair, I honestly can't remember.
But then two days later, another identical pair turned up!
As it happens, they don't suit me and I am going to give them to my friend for Christmas and donate the other pair to a charity shop, but I wondered if anyone else had had two pairs the same turn up separately or if it's an error.
If it is an error I would feel a bit like I had stolen the second pair IYKWIM and I would send one pair back but I don't want to give up something that's legally mine!
WTD, WTD?

Keep them both, they are probably from two separate competitions.
one of 23 will IMO only mean one pair. CongratsMAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOUR0 -

Keep hold of them for a few weeks, if you don't hear anything then do as you will. If you hear after that period just explain you waited "just in case" and when you didn't, thought they were both prizes.
If you don't know if you definitely didn't win two pairs there's not much you can do really
Well done by the way xxThanks to all posters :A0 -
I've definitely seen a couple of Foster Grant comps that were giving away two pairs per winner...
Like others have said, enjoy the win and don't worry about it
Congratulations!0
