What happens if you win a family holiday and have too many kids?

OK I know I haven't won a family holiday, however entering a few comps made me think. All these prizes are for families of 4. We're a family of 5. Has anyone ever won a holiday like this? what happened, did they allow you to pay extra for the 3rd child?

    People have added extra but it's down to the individual promoter if they choose to allow it or not.

    Leave the most annoying one at home!

    Normally you can pay to add an extra traveller on normal holidays so it should be possible in a comp.

    We're a family of five and when I won a hol for four I was allowed to just pay for an extra flight and the accommodation was free for extra one. I suppose it depends on the promoter and if they allow you to pay for an extra one.
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!
