Anyone seen these things?
Inside most mags they have them saying FREE £'s or car or holiday?
Whats the catch least you can win is a FREE holiday to Italy/Greece/Spain
Each card i have seen has a DIFFERENT name & NUMBER but will cost £5 to find out what you have won
There just has to be a catch

i phoned one once at the companys expense and found that after waiting for what seemed like hours my code came up. Lo and behold I had won a holiday!!!... or that's what I thought. The offer was actually money off at a selection of dodgy hotel chains across the country when you booked at specific times for a specified duration. In all it was a crafty way of selling a crap holiday nobody in their right mind would go on. My advice is stay well clear, have you ever scratched one and not won? Exactly.

These are NOT scratch cards
On the back it says this "1x£1,000,000 1x£50,000 5x Mazda RX8 or £20,000 10x£1,000 1000xholiday in Italy(ALL holidays include flights,transfers and accommodation)
So the only thing i can think of it that it's a 5 satr hotel and the food and drink is MEGA dear

Got one today. It says "in the event of there being more claims than prizes, the prize will be split equally among the claimants". So although you might think the minimum monetary prize is £1000, it's actually a share of £1,000 (maybe a thousandth 
). Not sure how that would work with a holiday though (although it does say something about if you win the holiday you're not required to buy anything else, so it can't be money off vouchers)
You can always apply by sending an SAE to the address quoted instead of dialling the 0906 number. Let us know how you get on

My other half always slavers at the mouth when we get these.
They are the same as all the other variations on a theme.
If you look they all have the instant high value cash/electrical goods etc.Which you have no chance of winning.
Look again & they ALWAYS have "vouchers for holiday" - "vouchers for weekend break" "holiday all flights/accomodation etc" or the other biggy "entry into our draw for $$$$" Again snowballs chance in hell of winning.
You are actually better off getting only 2 Golden Keys or whatever 'cos then you get the crappy lesser prize.But that at least is not a virtual reality prize.
As soon as you see "holiday" mentioned you are bu$$ered.The other big con is you have to take all your meals in the hotels own restaurant.Captive audience/monopoly spring to mind.
I see sustainable forest loads of paper wasted on these in the course of my day.
My advice,use someone elses phone to find you've won a holiday related prize.

"If something sounds too good to be true it usually is".
Why do you think these people would give away free holidays? Because they're feeling generous? No, it's because they make a fortune with their premium rate lines that gullible people phone thinking they've won a holiday. If you try to claim the holiday there are so many conditions and surcharges that you might as well book it down at the travel agents.
Ask yourself this, have you ever got one and not "won" a prize.
Avoid like the plague. Same goes for anything related to timeshare.

I got one of those in 'The Sun' last week and thought, as above, "oh, another cr@ppy holiday offer". Then when I got to my horror-scope (which I read just for fun ) it said
I think they must be in cahoots! Needless to say I didn't phone the premium rate number! Or did I miss my chance of £1,000,000? 
(which I read just for fun ) it said
a blue raffle ticket will bring you luck
