    I won the 500points draw last week, but got this email


    Congratulations,
    Due to funding difficulties payments will be made after the 28th when I get paid, apologise for the delay. Hopefully faster We've received your claim, you should get the money within the next 72 hours as long as we know how you'd like to get paid. If you haven't already, let us know how you'd like to receive the money


    Nothing has materialised in my PayPal a/c, and I'm not holding my breath

    If you won last week does it mean 28th Feb?

    I had specified how I wanted my prize and received a £50 Amazon voucher within the amended timescale advised when I won.

    This from their FB page today
    Have paid out £500 today to winners from January, still behind on payments but slowly catching up. Hoping by the end of the month I'll only be running a week or so behind. Thank you all for your patience

    My late January win was paid at the end Feb. So I'm confident the organiser is paying the prizes when able.

    Just won £50 today in 1000 pts draw (having paid about £10 to top my points up a couple of months ago). Although the number of likeminded people has increased from about 60 to 105 now, I figured it was worth it in the long run.

    Hopefully won't have to wait too long but the fact he is now doing about 5 raffles on the website suggests he is looking for more ways to raise the money for the prize pot

    You'd like to think that the draws were being done on a completely random basis (although I can't see anything in the terms as to how the draws are done).

    I'm still waiting for my winnings (I did contact the site owner who said he hoped to pay me by the middle of April)

    Looking at the posts above it looks like someone has been joining MSE under different names just to comment on this only a couple of posts in each name.

    I see they now have a couple of raffles to win.
    £800 in tickets for a £430 watch
    £1500 in tickets for a £800 phone
    £437 in tickets for a £250 voucher
    Someone if making money from this.
    GONE ENGLAND
