    Looking to pick some brains, if you don't mind. Does anyone recall a competition to wine 6 bottles of wine? There's a mix of white/red, and a bottle of montagner prosecco in the mix.

    I answered the door to the An Post delivery man via Ring today, and as we were about 4 minutes from home, he said he'd leave the package behind my car. I assumed earplugs or shoes (being the only things I've ordered recently) but it was a really unexpected box of wine, with no indication of the originator, and nothing inside the box either!

    On the basis that whomever it was that sent it has my address, that narrows down the comp runners, but I cannot find anything via Google, or on the comp thread. Thanks for any help I can get ��




    Yes there was one on the papers website, Irish Times I think. You filled in all your details, so it would just be sent to you :D hence the surprise delivery.



    As for Instagram I've only 200 followers, mostly pages and a couple of comp friends. I've had a few small wins and I don't really enter that many.

    That's happened to me , out of the blue delivery, from both Irish Times and the Independent, no note just the prize, had to go looking to what it was I had entered.

    It is nice to get surprise win in the post but frustrating when you can't figure out where it is from. Partner had a huge box arrive the end of January full of Irish Products blanket, pottery jug,chopping boards, chocolates. Candles. All homeware stuff. No note couldn't figure out what was going on. After some searching it turned out he had won a Christmas competition early December with one of the newspapers but they never let him know and it was almost 6 weeks later.

    Well they can surprise me anytime...lol

    I will never forget the cream egg, glitter everywhere, opened on the doorstep with the courier (right address wrong name). We just about died laughing.
    I had a sparkly path for a long time after

    Thanks Gormal, I think that must be it.

    Glad to hear so many have luck in Instagram, obviously just not my turn yet :-)

    I remember that one. I swear I was still finding random bits of glitter months later!

    Get on the Coke promos guys. I’ve won a football jersey already (2/3 days in). The branded packs are slowly being released.

    I’ve won so much with their Premier League stuff in the last year. One jersey, 3 X JD sports vouchers and PL tickets plus travel money.

    Think the best tacked is to enter after 6pm.
    Just wondering did they look for the receipt, I got the email saying the jersey would be with me after their final verification. Has it come yet in the post or are u still waiting. Thanks

    Out of curiosity has anyone won two things from Woman's Way magazine?
    I was wondering if they put your on a black list if you win once.

    Might be a silly question but do you include all answers in the one email or are they separate emails you send with each answer?

    I do each one individually because you have to put the competition name as the subject, so they will go into an individual folder and be picked from each one individually I think anyway.

    I've been sending them all in one email with the Issue number as the Subject, i.e Issue 35.

    Might explain why I've never won anything with them :D

    Not sure which is the right way, but im going to stick to sending each one individually, it has worked for me. I only enter for certain ones so I just enter the ones I want

    I send them in all together with "issue X" in the title and won something as well so it really doesn't matter.
