Take a break help please

Options
Hoping somebody can help me out please.
I recently won a £50 argos voucher through a take a break competition.
I called argos to activate the gift card and they said I should have received a pin/reference in the winning letter/ in a seperate letter.
I stupidly threw the winning letter away so I have no idea if there was a pin on there or not or even which competition it was.
I have emailed take a break and they say they have no record of me winning a competition.
Is there anywhere online I can see the competiton winners from these magazines?

Thank you

    Tenth Anniversary I won, I won, I won!
    I think it may have been either issue 3 or 4 of take a puzzle.
    That's the only mags that come up when I search for the prize on here.
    I have replied saying it was possibly one of those so hopefully that will help them find it.

    afaik last time I looked the monthly puzzle mags
    they only list the winners names in the magazine from the last months winner/s,
    so you would need someone who had/has kept the magazine
    One-Eye posts the Take a Puzzle mags issue 3/4 here..
    if it helps..

    & we're not allowed to type/post winners names on here now only allowed to link to the magazine site which names the winners,
    hope you can get it sorted x

    Thank you.
    The lady i'm dealing with has checked both of these issues and that's not the competition I won either.
    No idea which one it was. Um sure it was take a break though as the woman I spoke to at argos knew I had won it through take a break without me telling her.

    Hooray, so glad you sorted it! Only one thing worse than not winning - winning but not being able to claim prize for one reason or another. And a salutary lesson for us all, thank you. Enjoy spending now.
