Hey guys.
Got an email yesterday to say that I was the winner of The Sun wordsearch. Sent my details over as requested (they pay via BACS.)
They said I'll receive the money within a month, but I was wondering how long it took you, personally, to receive your prize? I am patient, don't get me wrong, but just want to know if it'll be the sooner or later part of that timescale.
Thank you.

I won a diamond solitaire necklace allegedly worth £1000 which arrived with no hassle (and later got vanished by the cat and I strongly suspect it went up the vacuum cleaner) and more recently I won £50.00 on one of their email things and I had loads of hassle, long delays and then they paid it into the wrong bank account - I got it in the end...0

My £50 win came through really quickly no hassle at all0

My £50 came pretty quick!0

Yep, twice in the last 12 months. The first £50 turned up as a cheque in the post within a week (even though they asked for my bank details) and I had to chase the second £50 up as they said it would be paid by a specific date, but it wasn't, so I chased up and it was there the next day.:easter:0

Years ago I won a digital radio from the Sun - it just turned up didn't know that I had won until then.0
