Currys 1 in 20 chance to win the price of your TV back

Hey everyone,
I just wondered if anyone else had entered the recent competion with Currys where you get a 1 in 20 chance to win all your money back from your TV purchase? 
I entered on Friday, 34 days after my purchase and I won! I had to enter all my receipt and BACS details etc But.... I havnt heard anything since and now I'm wondering was it even real?? No email confirmation on anything... did I get my hopes up for nothing.

Please retain a copy for your information.

    1. This Promotion is open to residents of the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man aged 18 or over, excluding anyone professionally associated with this Promotion.

    6. For those Price Promise customers who purchased their Participating Product between 23rd – 29th November 2022, and then claimed a Price Promise discount by 6th December 2022, your Entry Period end date will be extended by 7 days in accordance with your new receipt date up to the latest entry date of 17th January 2023. For more information on Price Promise please click [here].
    7. Promotional Product:
      Any TV £649.01 or over after any applicable discounts have been applied. If the TV has been purchased as part of a bundle, the TV price itself must be £649.01 or over not the total price of the bundle.
    8. Maximum of 1 entry per purchase per person per week is permitted during the Promotion Period. One itemised receipt per entry must state the time and date of purchase, which must pre-date the entry date and time, but be within the Promotion Period. No person may win more than 1 Prize per week.
    9. Winner Selection: 1 in every 20 valid entrants that enter the Promotion during the Promotion Period will be randomly selected to be given the chance to win via an independent computer algorithm which determines every 20th entrant. Everyone has the same chance to win and there is one chance to win for every 20 entries.
    10. The Prizes: Each winner will win 1 x cash prize for the full paid price of the Promotional Product purchased.
    11. Further Prize Details and Conditions:
      • a. Winners are responsible for providing correct bank account details and the Promoter will not be liable for any Prize payments made into the wrong bank account.
      • b. It is the responsibility of the participant to provide their correct, up-to-date details when entering the Promotion and/or confirming acceptance of the prize in order for their prize to be processed. The Promoter cannot be held responsible for winners failing to supply accurate information which affects prize acceptance or delivery of their prize.
    12. Winner Notification: Entrants will be instantly notified via the website mechanism to confirm if they are or are not a provisional winner. Provisional winners will be asked to confirm if you want to receive the cash prize by cheque or BACS. If you wish to receive the prize via BACS, you must supply the following information via the microsite:
      • a. Bank account name
      • b. Bank account number
      • c. Sort code
      • If you wish to receive the prize via cheque you must supply your postal address via the microsite. All provisional winners will be required to upload a clear and legible photo of their receipt onto the microsite at curryswinyourtv.co.uk, and phone number within 14 days of the date of initial notification.
      • In the event that a winner does not respond and/or provide the required information within 14 days, the Promoter reserves the right to disqualify that winner. All on-screen instructions must be followed, and all claims are subject to purchase verification. Any claims received that don’t meet these requirements, will be void and invalid.
      • All prize claims will be verified within 7 working days of receiving all required information. Once a provisional winner has been verified, they will then be confirmed as a winner and will be notified by email within 5 working days of verification. Should there be any consequential issues we will be in touch via email or phone call. We reserve the right to request to see your original receipt or online invoice. It is the responsibility of entrants to check junk/spam folders to ensure they are in receipt of any communications. If a winner is disqualified or does not complete all the above instructions, another winner will not be selected, and the Prize will not roll over.
    13. Prize Acceptance: Once eligibility of a Prize is confirmed and the Prize is accepted, fulfilment of the Prize will take place within 28 days of acceptance of the Prize. In the unlikely event that the Prize does not arrive within 28 days the Winner must inform the Promoter by emailing curryswinyourtv@responsehandlingteam.co.uk. If the winner does not do so, the Promoter reserves the right to not reissue the Prize or limit its value at its sole discretion.

The winners may object to their surname or county of residence being published or request for the amount of information being published to be reduced during Winner Notification by contacting curryswinyourtv@responsehandlingteam.co.uk. Without prejudice, the Promoter will provide this information to the Advertising Standards Authority on reasonable request.

    Congrats, It's effective marketing on their part as the cost to them is approx the same as having a 5% sale but gets a bigger buzz for the £s
