  • I've won about 10 prizes altogether. I think I had e-mails for about 4 of them and the rest were just sent to me. I guess it all depends on the company. I have one e-mail account just for competitions but it's got so much junk mail in it, including fake winning e-mails, that I always think I'm going to miss the real ones in there now. :rolleyes:

    Does everyone here check all emails they get? even though they might look like junk mail incase it's a win?

    or do you normally just get sent the prize?

    I look what the email says in the from line and also the subject line before I open it - most winning emails (not all but most) are obvious when they are WEMs
