Has Anyone Not Recieved a Win?

I was just wondering if anyone had found out they had won something before but then never received it.

I'm quite worried about not receiving the PSP I won. We found out by phone but my dad didn't note who it was from. So if the thing doesn't arrive, it means that I can't tell the company who ran the competition!

So er, has anyone not received their wins in the past? Especially big prizes?

And one more little question, how long does it normally take for prizes to arrive?

    Yes, not long after I first started comping hubby won the chance to appear on Most Haunted or if they didn't choose him for the appearance we would just get tickets to another episode but we've never received anything. That was Strongbow.

    Also there's a cd and poster that I won from Channel 4 in May, have been trying to contact them about that.

    And also, a copy of the new Harry Potter book that DD won, it was meant to arrive the day it came out but we've never received it.

    They can't be very organised, I must say!

    It's hard enough to get a win, then not to receive the prize:confused:
