how long to wait for real people mag?

Hi, all just a quick question, have any of you won in the past with real people mag? if so how long did it take for your actual prize to be delivered after you had the winning notification letter?

I won some holiday vouchers and a dvd had the letter first week in jan, and it said should receive prize within 6 weeks, but as yet nothing has turned up?

Anybody any ideas or advice?

    I've won with them and if I remember correctly my prize came after about 6 weeks.
    Hope you get your prize soon.

  • Hi there I've had 3 wins with real people 2 took about 6 weeks the other totally shocked me & only took 4 weeks !
    I'd say your win won't be very much longer, give them another week then chase them up!

    Hi, Thanks all for input, will hang on another couple of weeks and give them a call, why they take so long we will never know.

    I'm sure that the letter I had said that you can wait up to 10 weeks - think I waited about 6 for my cheque. It's like winning twice when the long awaited cheque finally arrives :D
