Holiday prize accidentally given to me..

Was feeling amazed and joyful since had an email notifying me I was the winner of camper van holiday to Australia including flights etc.
I dutifully accepted, having been sent the terms and conditions, and phoned up to confirm this morning and devastated to be told that someone else had originally won and accepted however their acceptance email went into the organiser's junk folder and they've just found it...
I feel really sorry for the woman tasked with organising all this since she's in a very awkward position now and has said she'll get back to me later, but whilst I'm happy for the other person, bitterly disappointed. :sad:

Brilliant. I was just telling OH what had happened to you and about to give it a sad ending only for it to be a happy one
Who was the comp with? That's a decent thing to do!“It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.”
