Advice on win

Hi guys

Sorry it’s my first post, so please bare with me. I just need some advice on a win I have had. I won a prize with heart radio, I was called on Christmas Eve to say I had won a prize, but I haven’t received anything yet. Is that normal or should I have got something by now?

Thank you in advance for your help :)

    Most prizes are delivered within 28 days, so you should wait a little while longer.
    I don't think you will have any problems receiving your prize from such a big company.
    If you have not received anything by the end of January, maybe send them a nice email reminding them :D

  • Thank you so much. I only started entering competitions in December, so I’m not sure how it works it you win. Will do that.

    Thanks for your reply. ��

    The official guidance from the ASA (CAP Code) can be found here

    https://www.asa.org.uk/type/non_broadcast/code_section/08.html


    which includes this on prize delivery
    normally within 30 days
    .

    But if the company state say 10 days then do not wait 30 before checking with them in case, for instance, they need to make a claim against a courier for non-delivery etc.
