    It says tweet the hashtag and follow @sky1. I've tweeted them too, you would think a big company would at least follow their own t&c's ��

    Winner announced but sky1 have asked him to follow them so they can DM him, so it's kicking off a bit as they are saying terms said you must follow them

    I can't see he had to follow them in terms ?


    It says in the how to enter bit of the tcs, quote the specific hashtag follow @sky1

    I'd expect them to pick a new winner once the lawyers look at it or they would be in trouble. Give them a while though. It is late on a Friday night. Probably won't be corrected till Monday.
    Thank you to everyone who posts on the competitions boards. You all rock!

    There is no "and" in the T&C's so it could be argued the requirement was to tweet (which they didn't)

    "#TryYourLuck follow @Sky1"

    you must tweet during the specified ad break (between 9.10 pm – 9.25 pm) using the specific hashtag #TryYourLuck follow @Sky1

    Either way he wasn't eligible to win, either wasn't following or didn't tweet that phrase, still a loser. ;)

    He did tweet the phrase, it's on his timeline. He just didn't follow but not sure this can be proven because he follows them now

    Either he had to tweet that entire line or just the hashtag and follow them

    He DIDN'T TWEET "#TryYourLuck follow @Sky1 " so that's out
    or they meant tweet the hashtag and follow them, he tweeted the tag but didn't follow.
    Either way he didn't follow what they said in their poorly worded tweet.

    It's possible that no one tweeted correctly during the very short timescale the competition was open and they simply picked a random winner.
    Whatever they did was sloppy on their part from the wording of the T&C's through to winner selection.
