If I claim this prize will it be fraud?

Options
I entered a competition, like I enter all, on Twitter. It was for people who had had a wedding cancelled due to COVID. All you had to do was retweet. I retweeted but was the only person who did and therefore won. The prize is worth around £1000 and is only redeemable on the brand.
My wedding was not cancelled due to COVID, my wedding is next year, however my fiancé and I had planned to 'elope' to do the legal bit abroad this summer when we went to Maldives (of course, this was cancelled).

The T&C's do not state you must have had your wedding cancelled. However, I do not want to appear dishonest or be done for fraud. What do we do?

    If something is obvious from the competition blurb it does not have to be repeated in the terms and conditions (in one case a ruling said it was clear from the details that the prize was for a family with children even though this was not stated in the T&Cs).
