I might have won... but

Options
I just got an email from Diane Lynham at Smooth telling me I had won flights to Singapore and Manchester Airport would be in touch.

Email looks pretty genuine.

The only thing is, I have been an active comper for about a year, and certainly don't remember an off the cuff entry at any point recently (it's possible I guess)

There is a comp in Game Over for this prize, but I haven't ticked it (though it was around the time I was last active). Also a year seems a very long time to get around to awarding a prize!

Guess I'll get in touch with Diane for further info *fingers crossed*
Total Value of wins in 2009: £900 appox. 2010: £730
Wins 2011: Carlisle Utd Tickets (twice!), Baby Food Hamper, Straighteners, Chugginton Toy

    There was a recent comp as I saw it mentioned on twitter, recent as in last few weeks.

    Weird one. I've emailed to ask when/where this comp is from anyway.

    I just did a quick search and couldn't find but often they delete comps after they are over to stop entries still pouring in.

    well done x

  • Is it possible you won this comp?

    It only ended 9 days ago. I know it's a trip to Houston, but the flights are with Singapore Airlines from Manchester Airport. Perhaps just a bit of a mix up with the wording in the winning email or crossed wires between Diane and a colleague?

    I really hope you're right!

    I define didn't enter that one. As I said it's almost a year since I've actively comped on here
