Competition Win or a scam?

I've been filling in so many surveys for the 'Make £10 a day in April' challenge that I can't remember individual ones anymore. This has resulted in some sales calls so when I got a phonecall tonight I wasn't really listening. But *apparently* I've won a holiday for 4 with flights and accommodation included and when I asked what the catch was, she said that I would have to pay a booking fee of £29 per person 8 weeks before the holiday. All I have to do is phone a given freephone number tonight,before lines close at 7.45, and then my details would be in the post.
Both me and my OH think it's a scam - I daredn't phone the freephone number in case it drags me further in.
Has anyone had any similar calls?
