Will the winners emails go in to junk mail? & what would the subject be?

If you win and they let you know on email? what do they usually put as the subject... and does it often go into trash?

New to all this, and want to know what to look out for.

Been entering comps for a month now, and no luck.. I know i'm impatient.. but hoping this is normal :)

Thanks all! xx

    I've never had a winning email end up in my junk folder, but it does happen so be sure to check all of your email folders.

    Usually the subject contains key words like congratulations or winner, so look out for these.

    It's normal to not win anything for a month - sometimes you'll find you don't win anything for ages and then a few wins come along all at once. Good luck - keep entering and you'll win something eventually :D

    probably congratulations

    or winner

    expect a lot of crap with sale discounts
  • No doubt you'll get some winning emails soon xx


    Thankfully I've never had win emails go to spam but on saying that winning emails are not always immediately obvious, usually as Sax has said they will say 'Congratulations!' but I have often had "<name of company> competition details". So I would say have a good look at all the subject lines before you click delete.

  • I have had a couple go to spam, so be careful what you dump. One was a daily mag comp and I think I had to read quite a bit before I found out it was a win. Usually they will have Congratulations or winner somewhere in the first few lines but not always.
