The Sunday Times scratchcard con or no con?

I won a prize on a scratchcard that came free in the sunday times last week (from purely creative), I matched 3 symbols twice from 2 seperate cards, now would they really pass on the prize or is it con? I know normally holiday prizes are common but I matched 3 symbols from 2 scratchcards (both different symbols) so what would that mean?

Has anyone else won anything from them?

I got one of these in the Sky magazine today, and matched 3 pictures!

I read the bottom of the panel & it says you have to call an 09 number, that costs £1.50 per min & shouldn't last longer than 6 mins, or text & you'll receive 6 texts @ £1.50 each.

Up to you, but I will give it a miss.

If you do a search you'll find someone normally posts what the prize is (it works something like if the word on the card starts with a 'g' = digital camera). However, the prize is likely to be worth less than the cost of the telephone call, e.g. it'll cost you £9 in calls & texts to win a £5 digital camera. Obviously somone, somewhere will have received a better prize card, but there's a good chance they'll have thrown it away. So the promoter will end up with a profit from all those calls & texts.
