    Most of the time when I have won from a call it is a Dublin number, so hopefully you didn't miss anything. Im sure they will ring back if it was.

    Was yours delivered by An Post or by courier? Haven't heard anything back since and hoping I didn't miss the delivery!

    Mine was by courier and I had a email saying check the tracking number,have you checked your emails? I was told in first email guaranteed by Friday but yesterday I had a email it was on the way to me.

    Just as you posted that got a call to say they were outside! Didn't get any emails or tracking info after the initial email so was hoping they hadn't forgotten.

    Nice wee pack, wasn't expecting the voucher or t-shirt!

    Ya I was suprised with the extras and it's a nice setup indeed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,763 ✭✭✭✭thesandeman


    Looks like there are different extras in the parcels.
    I got a cap, somebody else a hoodie, and now a t-shirt.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,978 ✭✭✭ShagNastii


    Wins (and comps in general) are pretty sparse this year it seems.

    The tickets to events and the like was a great little success I got serious miles out of the last few years. Covid has really killed that one.


  • Registered Users Posts: 732 ✭✭✭ZombieMed


    Yeah I miss the preview screenings - I'd say they'll be few and far between until social distancing is retired.

    I received my Skechers this week too - very nice. Fair play Katie:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 13 FRuitems86


    I just had my first win 😬🎉 Irish times competition family break for 4 to castleknock hotel, delighted!

    This happened to me about a year and half ago (but wasn't an unknown number) around 6pm, when I rang back it was Hot Press reception and I went through the I've just had a missed call from this number etc etc and they couldn't help me ... but if you look at the small print for the hot press competitions if you're not able to answer the call, prize goes to the next person.

    You could argue that it's unfair as perhaps your driving or maybe a shift worker who cannot always answer their phone or simply just busy at home.

    Maybe you've lost out on a limited edition guitar or maybe it was just a sales person trying to sell you insurance.

    I've tried to google for the T&C's of this one but to no avail.
    Anyone got any a website for it?
    I was going to ping them a email to see if my mobile number blocked.....apparently that is a thing if you enter regularly!

    Will post if I get a response of course!

    I've rejoined Facebook after a few years - just for competitions. I need to add a few friends so my profile doesn't look fake. Anyone want to friend me please do - Crochúir Ó Máille is the profile name. Thanks

    Got my Skechers today. Apparently the courier left them into one of my local pubs two weeks ago assuming I'd be in every day. Must remind him I don't eat.

    It’s not Easter Eggs as such. Easter eggs in film etc are references / things hidden in movies that might refer to other films / people etc

    Example Yoda from Star Trek in ET is an obvious one. Others are more hidden (carpet in Toy Story one is the same carpet in The Shining)


  • Registered Users Posts: 13 FRuitems86


    Anyone win the centra/ SuperValu Weber prize 🀔? I had myself and my partner enter every day on that one - really wanted one of those 🀣

    I think I know what to look for e.g. IDDQD is from Doom
    Not enough of a gamer tho for this competition, some there with just symbols

    Sometimes it can be a few weeks after the comp closes before they contact , so you might still get lucky

    Fingers crossed :) , it says winner notified with 14 days and closed on 22nd! that was my first serious attempt at the ones which allow multiple entries (1 each day for 20days lol) because I really want a Weber :)

    They dont always stick to the dates, I got called 6 weeks after a competition had closed to be told I won

    This also happened to me too a while back. I thought it was because the first winner didn't respond or something like that.

    Same here. But the date on the top says August 6 2018. Seems to be an old competition.

    Yes unfortunately someone must have resurrected an old competition from 2018

    Both Roe & Co Distillery and The Mayson only opened last year though, and with the description "This is the year of the staycation" I'd say it has to be a new competition that just hasn't gone live yet!

    Then somebody must be wishing to be transported back to 2018.


  • Registered Users Posts: 28 purplecorn


    Then somebody must be wishing to be transported back to 2018.

    Right, but "This is the year of the staycation and Today FM has teamed up with The Mayson to bring you on an incredible VIP staycation."

    The Mayson and Roe & Co only opened in 2019, so there is no way this could have been a competition from August 2018. Doesn't it seem more likely that the date of the post is an error, rather than it being an actual post from 2018, describing a prize package containing prizes which couldn't have existed back then?

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the form will be up soon! :D
