Genuine facebook account v comping one

I wonder if it’s a coincidence or genuine but I entered a vouchercloud competition with my normal facebook account instead of my comping one by accident and I got the usual ‘did you win’ emails?

To my surprise I did win and after checking to see if it was genuine it was.

I do wonder and guess there will be no way of knowing but if I had entered using my comping facebook whether I’d have won? I do win the odd facebook comp and do win generally so maybe just random.

Any thoughts?

    I use my genuine FB account and regularly win high value prizes.
    eg between £250 and £1000 prizes, and have done over the past couple of years.
    I do not normally enter sharing comps so I don!!!8217;t bombard my friends with comp posts.

    FB rules do not permit more than 1 account and if the "comping" police spot you are using 2 accounts expect to be reported.

    I enter the Voucherclouds with my personal FB account (I don't have a comping one) and have never won, my profile is set to Friends only though, dunno if that matters.

    Facebook rules also state you can't administer a giveaway using their Share functionality. Funny how the comping police don't care about that rule. God, I hate compers sometimes :)
