    They used to name winners before the guidance changed (Mar 2019) -- From an old FB post "UPDATE: Congratulations to (mse do not allow names)  who's the lucky winner of our £100 voucher competition and has now been contacted" - Now they just say a winner has been selected/contacted - it is quite possible that to avoid GDPR issues they have taken the easy way out and don't name winners anymore (winners cannot be named without their consent and consent can be withdrawn at anytime

    "
    Promoters must either publish or make available on request information that indicates that a valid award took place – ordinarily the surname and county of major prizewinners and, if applicable, their winning entries. Promoters must inform the prizewinner of their intention to publish the information and give the prizewinner the opportunity to object to their information being published or to reduce the amount of information published about the prizewinner. In such circumstances, the promoter must nevertheless still provide the information and winning entry to the ASA if challenged."


    They also have 1.5 million+ followers on both Inst and FB so even though they have quite a lot of competitions the odds of winning could still be very long
