I Won-then I Lost

checking my emails I had one from "the dailygoss" saying I've won tickets for Thorpe park, I just need to confirm my tel. number and name as soon as possible.
Then there was a later email from them saying that other people had since been contacted and so it would now be first come first served for the tickets.

So it seems I've lost out on the tickets now as I didn't get straight back to them.:rolleyes:

    I think it's wrong to do that. I would contact them and complain unless it was in the T/C. If you've won you've won!

    There was around 2 hours between the emails.
    I replied as soon as I got home, but it was around 6pm,
    I haven't heard anything back yet,
    But I am going to email them and say that it should have been made clear in the comp T&C's that you have to reply straight away to claim prize, etc

    Has anyone else had a win with THE DAILY GOSS, just wondering what your experiences were?

    EDIT: just re-read the first email and it says:
    "Please note - as per the competition rules - that we must be able to get hold of you quickly otherwise the prize will be allocated elsewhere today."

    I just haven't been able to find the comp post

    That's a real pants outcome! I feel so sorry for you, but hopefully there'll be another win right around the corner!
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:
