Been comping over a year, enter everything on the board and have never won a thing.

Today I checked my email and had a WEM from the entertainer saying I'd won their Big Hero 6 competition. Didn't say what the prize was and I don't actually remember.

Great I thought, finally a win......then I noticed it's addressed to a man named Dean who has until March 17th to send them his address before they award the prize to someone else.

Since I'm not a man, my name obviously isn't Dean and it's long passed March 17th I realise it's obviously been sent out in error.

Had to laugh. For a second I was absolutely thrilled. Finally a little reward for all those hours spent comping but alas no. How typical haha.

    just noticed - if you were sigless you wouldn't have 'sigless' written there as technically you're not.

    Haha. That's kind of the point. I found it amusing when I did it years ago.

    Maybe Dean didn't claim and you are the new winner.

    I would drop them an email to check ;)

    I've replied to the email pointing out that it's no doubt been sent to me in error. So if that's the case I assume they'll reply.

    I feel inspired to change my signature.

    Well no reply to the email I sent pointing out I wasn't 'Dean' and asking if it was sent in error. So can only assume it was.

    The quest for my first ever win continues!
