How do you know they don't have a social media presence though? Some people don't use their full (or real) name on social media. In fact, when I won 2K with radio city about 7 or 8 years ago, after the call they didn't state my full name on the radio and just said "Congrats to Lee from Liverpool on winning 2K". I'm sure there are thousands of Lee's in liverpool. Also, the reason they may not have social media (or maybe they do and deactivated it) is the reason you gave in one of your posts.. you were searching for them after they won a large sum of money. Someone's 'curiousity' could turn into a targeted attack.tompain100 said:....I know they don't require it. That wasn't my point. Just that that they found a winner who doesn't have any online presence other than the radio page saying they won.
And as others have said, social media isn't required and I know tons of people who don't use social media who enter these competitions. If you have your doubts, please skip the competition as thats one less person entering and increases my chances
