Won and lost by not seeing a text?

Yesterday I forgot to take my phone to work and on checking when I got home there was a text from Smooth Radio asking for a convenient time to call about a comp. I texted back but haven't heard anything more so seems it may have gone to someone else  :(

2025 Comps 8675: wins 7: value £1522
2024 Comps 13526: wins 13: value £1475

    I'd like to think they would give you at least 24hrs or so to reply to a text message, which you did, so hopefully they will still get back to you and it's a nice win for you.

    Congratulations - (if they are applying their exclusion they put it in writing  " if you have either (A) won a prize valued at £1,000 or above, or (B) won more than one prize during the previous six months. If we choose to exercise this right, we will notify you in writing". (probably it's just for some minor prizes they don't apply it)
