I finally got a WEM

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.0

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

Im thinking exactly the same .

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!Sigless0
