Winner now drawn for the Ferrari trip!

Apologies for the delay, we had some problems with potentially fraudulent transactions that had to be sorted out prior to the draw.

New prize is a Kenwood CD Head unit with MP3 capability.

Devil,

have you entered any of the draws?
(and/or entered your e mail adress on our site?)

If so, you should have received an e mail newsletter late monday night/tuesday morning?

The only way you can retrieve entry numbers is by entering your top prize / worldpay entry number for that draw and your email address on the status page at www.topprize.co.uk

Right,

anyone that wants the Top Prize newsletter......

(I state again, this does not state the number of tickets sold so far, the only way of obtaining this is to enter the draw, and then enter your reference number in the status page )

Send us your email address (info@topprize.co.uk), and we'll send you the newsletter.

DJ, I take it you have entered?, if so, can you send your email address, marking the subject with: "DJ from Scoobynet", and I'll check why you havent had a mail.

Mail to: info@topprize.co.uk

Mike,

please mail us at info@topprize.co.uk with the details of your purchase (your email address and top prize/worldpay reference numbers) and we'll check this one out.

Mike,


just thought (dont know why this didnt occur before!) you must have purchased via nochex, am I right?

If this is the case, the nochex payments take up to 24 hrs to clear and update to the database, as it requires us to manually update the ticket database(this is mentioned in the FAQ's).

If you check back this afternoon (possibly sooner), you will see your entries via the status page.

The numbers going up by 1 was probably caused by someone purchasing a ticket via worldpay around the same time as you.

Also note that when I mentioned sales above, I did say "cleared Tickets".

DemonDave will tell you that he pointed this out to us last week, and we made the changes to the FAQ's for it then.

Cheers,

TP

kimera,

please send us an e mail to info@topprize.co.uk with your e mail address, name,address and method of entry (worldpay, nochex,etc) as we cannot check the databse purely with your e mail.

If you used worldpay, you should have received an e mail from them (not us) as your receipt for your draw.

Can I ask that anyone else that has querys about their entry contacts us at the above e mail address, and not via the forum, as we aren't always on here, whereas the info@topprize.co.uk mail is monitored.

Thanks all!

Mike,

I've checked and can see you entered with Worldpay for 5 tickets, weirdly, the transaction in the databae (worldpay) was out of synch, and didnt update to ours properly, so this comes down to Worldpay.

If you check your entry now, you will find all 5 entries, and rest assured that all 5 are included in the draw process.

ATB,

Question

FTAO Of the TopPrize Guy...

are you at all worried at the slow uptake of tickets?

At the rate they are selling, can you guarantee that the vehicle model on offer will still be available by the time all the tickets have been sold?

Mak.

As At Todays date - 443 tickets sold out of 1620 and MY03 looming?

So far, a lot of the advertising is trial and error, and this of course effects sales.

We are constantly revising the formats for advertising, whilst taking note of the best types, and we have seen a marked improvement in sales recently.

I do not see a problem reaching full sales prior to the release of MY03.

Do you cater for this eventuality in your 'small print'?

Hi Mak,

see:

12

The prize will be supplied in the manufacturers base specification of the advertised vehicle with 12 months road fund license, insurance will be the responsibility of the winner.

The advertised vehicle is a Subaru Sti Prodrive

Also, bear in mind that once sufficient funds are achieved, the vehicle will be purchased, I really do not see the 03' being a problem, as I am convinced the sales will be achieved prior to this being on the market.

Best regards,

TP

Cool

Fullonloon,

Have you bought any tickets? If so I think you have blown your chance of winning! Imagine how dodgy it would look if you did win!

What do you use as a randomizer -- alpha decay source?
