E.ON email, does this sound dodgy?

Just received an email as below. Can't find any comp relating to this on MSE although a Google search brings up lots of links and it sound valid. Can't remember entering but has anyone else received an email also? I'm always a bit suspicious when asked to click a link to win a prize. Here's the gist of the email:
Thank you for entering the E.ON Next Switch Off: Game On promotion. We're delighted to let you know that you have been selected as a lucky provisional winner of 6 x Big Potato Games Sample Packs (1 per month across 6 months)!
In order to claim your prize, please click on this secure link, enter the unique code below and complete the form.
CODE: Blah....
We must have your full response by 03.12.2025.
We will contact you if there are any issues with the details you have provided. Otherwise, we will pass your details on to the fulfilment team, who will process your prize.
Once again, thank you for entering the promotion.
Best wishes,
The E.ON Next Team

What's the URL of the "secure link". Post it here but obfuscate it so its not clickable.

Promowinners does seem to be a valid claim site, did another search on that, so it is probably ok. Still, the comp does seem to have 5000 winners, so hopefully there are others here who have also received the email.0 -

Seems fine, clicked the link, put in the code, next page name, address, email, and got confirmation that prize would arrive as described in the comp details along with an email contact if any problems.0
