What time of day are you usually informed of wins?

Options
Hi

Just wondering what time of day you usually get a call or email about wins. My friend has won 3 or 4 times and says she has always got the emails around 5.00pm. If I am near a computer around 5 I always check just in case!

Is this quite a common time to be contacted or does it vary a lot? Would be interesting to know.

    Can be at anytime of the day - just depends when the company get round to contacting you
  • For the click-to-win and daily magazine competitions, I typically get their congratulatory emails between 08:00 and 12:00.

    I have had a few before and after but most will be between 8 am and 8 pm as that time span covers most working days.

    My one mag daily (Woman and Home) WEM was at 4:55pm, but other than that I've had WEMs between 8am and 12pm or 2pm and 4pm. That's just me though, could easily be anytime, especially if being internationally run (have a friend who had one at 2am and another at 6am for example).

    Usually during working hours but I've had a WTC on a Saturday morning and I WEM around 11am on a Sunday, so never lower your guard ;) !
