Just doing several 'Valentines competitions' that end today or tomorrow. Have noticed a growing trend for competitions that are based on a specific event but finish well after it. Was receiving Halloween gifts in November and still getting Christmas presents. Remember getting a huge Easter egg last year, about a month after Easter too. Just odd lol.

    If a competition ends say on the 14/2/17, or a few days after. Then it can a month or more to receive a prize.
    When entering any competition always read the t&C.'s., this can tell you how long you may have to wait for the prize.
