I won but need proof of purchase!

adamrbrown84

I entered a competition with Greene King (Abbot Ale) back in November 2022 and didn't win in the quick prize draw but was entered into the grand prize draw. Obviously didn't think anything would come of it but have now had an email saying I won but I need to provide proof of purchase, ideally from around the time I entered but they would accept a picture of the receipt with Abbot Ale on dated between 1st September 2022 and 28th February 2023.
I would've had a receipt but, as with most people, expect it to have been binned some time ago. I suspect it said I'd need it in the T&Cs but obviously thought I wouldn't win. 

Has this happened to anyone else who has managed to find a way around it (or does anyone have a supermarket receipt with Abbot on it)!?

Check your bank statements. If you paid by card they might accept proof of it on your statement.

ETA: Congratulations!

Did you buy using your Clubcard or similar that might have a record of your purchase? Or order via an online shop where there is a record on your account? 

Congrats and I hope you get your prize.

Thanks! Unfortunately that have said - *Please note we can only accept a photo of the receipt as proof of purchase.

Thanks! I would've used my clubcard but I've had a look and it seems like they only go back a relatively short time. I tried checking through the app and it doesn't have a record of purchases. I could go into the store and ask but it looks like you need the exact date for them to be able to find it (if they go back that far).

Or could try calling Tesco Clubcard? If you explain the situation I am sure they might be able to help. 

It’s your purchasing data your requesting too

I've contacted them so now I'll wait and see. I just need a receipt within about a four month window, I just don't keep receipts unless it's at Christmas but even those will have gone by now!

So I've now been into Tesco and they can only go back 100 days and have to check each receipt one by one (and it might even be on my wife's clubcard!)

What’s the grand prize you won

Ah that is a shame as they will probably do a redraw if you can't provide the proof of purchase. It happened to me once - lesson learnt and now I keep all my receipts in a folder for at least 6 months after the closing date.
