    I've had emails that say Congratulations etc in the subject line when I haven't won but they'll give me a special discount, etc. I hate them as I get all excited when I see them in my inbox.

    I haven't had this particular email but don't be too disappointed if you haven't won.

    Count me in, I got one too.

    Have gone through from the original post to see if it said anything about winners but there was nothing there.
