When I won £25 with TV choice they just posted it out to me with a compliments slip. If this is genuine, perhaps it's a bigger prize...?
Maybe email first in case it's a scam to get you to ring an expensive number.Worse things will have happened in the world today..."The only thing that really matters, it to love and to be loved."0 -
0203 is a standard London number, so it's not a "premium rate" number or anything.0

Hope it's something nice, let us know0

When my mum won with Take A Break a few years she had to phone the office, first to do a wee interview then they sent the cheque separately, and followed up with an interview afterwards.
Try googling the number an it may well bring up if it's a scam or indeed their office number.Thanks to all the competition posters.0 -

Wow, that's brilliant!
Reason I got into comping was I fancied a new, big TV but couldn't justify the spending when we had a tv that worked. That said, it did have a dodgy patch of weird colours where our then toddler granddaaughter had tried to clean it with the magnetic fish tank cleaner :O !Worse things will have happened in the world today..."The only thing that really matters, it to love and to be loved."0
