I won and (I think lost) a holiday to Costa Rica

I found an email from Magic about an hour ago dated Monday re this comp:
Apparently they couldn't get through on my mobile and asked me to confirm my number and acceptance by no later than 5pm Tues (and I confirmed at 11.30pm). What a bummer, no missed calls on my mobile (perhaps I was somewhere with no service). Can't see anywhere in the T&C that you had to accept so quickly. If they have offered to someone else I hope it is another MSEr.

What a shame, was it just the one holiday they were offering? That totally sucks. I'm surprised they emailed you, radio ones normally if they can't get hold of you they move on to the next person.Top wins in 2018: Trip to Iceland, helicopter ride over london, couples massage, £300 flight from Pringles, trip to Paris, cocktail making class and afternoon tea up the shard. .
Top wins in 2017:holiday to the Bahamas, trip to Paris, meal with champagne, a week in a manor house in France with £500 spending money.0 -
Oh no that's such a shame.....I wondered whether they had been in touch today at all? I would have thought that everyone in their office went home at 5pm yesterday so if they saw your email first thing this morning they may still give it to you? Here's hoping.....0
