A question for real people winners

I had a letter today to say I had won £25 with real people, and have to send a claim form back.
At the top of the claim form, it says to send a photo, but at the bottom it states:
You do not have to include a photograph to receive your cheque.
I've not won with real people before, and have chosen not to send a picture, but a couple of other posters have won and 'had' to send a photo to claim their prize.
I'm wondering how many mse'rs do actually send a photo to claim their prize, or do you just send back the claim form?

I won £25 with them a few months ago and I DIDN'T send a photo. I received my cheque no problem(took about a month though).

I've had a couple of wins from them, but didn't send photos, cheque came very quickly after I eventually sent the form back. If you really want to send a photo, you can download one.0

I've had a couple of wins with them. The first time I sent a passport photo, as it's not necessary, I prefer not to!
My last cheque came quite quickly - I was told I'd won on 1st September and cheque arrived today.42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot:hello: Good Luck everyone !:hello:0 -
I won £100 with them and I didn't send a photo either. HTH and well done on your win pipkin :TAnd if I really were an angel, I'd float over your bed

I've never sent a photo in either and haven't had probs receiving my cheques. I think if I won a biggie like the £1500 though I'd send one just to make sure I defo got my prize!

Thanks guys.
If you do send your photo in, do they pay you an extra £25?
I wouldn't have thought so, but another poster was paid an extra £25 for sending her photo in, so if that increases my prize money, it's worth sending one in with the claim form.
It doesn't say anywhere on the form that you will be paid any extra, so advice would be appreciated, as I'm quite happy not supplying them with my picture.
