    I'm not sure sorry @jbeattie1 I don't think a lot of the magazines where they already have your address, notify you. Sometimes a prize provider notifies you, as the magazine is usually just the host, other times cheques just appear in the post. A lot of the prize providers that give out cash are changing to bank transfers now.

    Have you received a random cheque in the post? 
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.

    Hi thanks for replying.

    Yeah random cheque in the post apparently fit a chat magazine win but when I searched the winners my name wasn't there, it was however there for a different comp with different prize that I've heard nothing about so I'm wondering if the mag possibly sent a cheque instead
