Coupon as a prize?

Options
Hi,

I have received an email saying I have won a runner up prize of a £5 discount. 

Does this sound like a real prize, or just a marketing email?

This is the email:

-------------

    Not much of a win if you have to spend money to get the £5 coupon. I usually press delete when I see emails like this, but if they are emails like this and I usually buy from them, then of course I do not delete these emails!

    I got one as well, unless you were planning to buy one anyways it's not really worth using it.
