I was absolutely gobsmacked to receive a call from Emma B this afternoon, and after hurriedly going through my pockets, managed to tell her the amount she was asking for was £19,242.42!!! Incredible, it felt so unreal.
She phoned about 4.15, and chatted for about 5 mins. I don't think it was played live on air. After the call I put the radio on, and the recording was played about 10 mins later.
About 5.30 the producer called to take some details, and as soon as they're happy that I've followed all the T&C's etc, the payment will be made via bank transfer within 28 days. Both calls were from a private/withheld number.
I'm sure it doesn't make one jot of difference to how the draw is made, but I was late entering today, with only about 15 mins to go!
For those of you, like me, who are usually uncomfortable with giving out their phone number, I use an old phone with a cheap sim card for these specific comps, and I can honestly say in the last 3 years, these calls were the only ones that this phone has ever received, so these guys appear to be very good with your details.
Thank you very much to Comping Rich for posting this comp, and of course to everyone else who do the other comps, hopefully you will be rewarded soon!
