£50 cheque! cos I was a loser!

A while ago I saw my name as a winner of a New mag competition issue 238, as did 9 others. But then it came to light that they had printed it (and the others) in error on their website, as 2 draws had occurred by mistake.
Well, after they consulted the Advertising Standards Authority and agreed to select the final winners they have written to apoligise and also sent a £50 cheque 'as a gesture of goodwill'!
They can make mistakes anytime! :rotfl:
Anyone else got one?
Thank you to everyone who posts comps! :A
I would like to be lucky,healthy & happy in 2020! :T

    Original comp was for a baby gift basket I think, it was back in November so hard to remember!
    Nice surprise though. Spent (mentally) already as this is an expensive few weeks (lots of birthdays, annivs...).
