TOFS always give me a scratch card when I buy anything from there. I once won a pack of tea towels and another time £5 off your next purchase. They also have a bin by the door for you to drop your no-win cards in once you’ve scratched them.

I think Ali08 summed it up, they dangle the carrot, you send your email address and then your prize is a truck load of junk mail.....

Has anyone ever won anything when you get a free spin of the wheel of fortune when you submit a gas or electric reading on Octopus? I haven't!

Anything to get you to sign up to their websites so they can send you loads of junk email, or just tease you that that big prize 'could' be just around the corner!

So long as they don’t ask you for bank details/payment to process etc then no harm in filling it in. Remember there are millions of people who will enter. I’ve never been lucky but my brother did once win a car! Fabulous car too. Not from same thing but something similar that didn’t require any payment upfront! So I keep entering ANYTHING I don’t part with my bank details. ?. Not had same luck bahaha ?

I've won £70 on the lottery and £5 a few times. Also years ago £250 on a local lottery for a football club and a £50 argos voucher. Nothing life changing sadly

Looks like Shell garages, none round here.

Very true.... i wont throw it in the bin then.

If i enter the code and send it off you can bet that it will be 10p off my next fill up of petrol....

Tut tut, its not worth the time to put the code in hahaha.....angry

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 28-Jan-22 14:26:13

Keep on trying, you never know…?

Serendipity22 Fri 28-Jan-22 14:19:16

Its like a prize draw card.

Yes maybe its regional i dunno.

confused

Serendipity22 Fri 28-Jan-22 14:10:13

The card ...

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 28-Jan-22 14:08:53

Nope. Never had one. Perhaps it’s a regional thing?

Serendipity22 Fri 28-Jan-22 14:07:17

The card

Serendipity22 Fri 28-Jan-22 13:53:53

Oooops sorry Blossoming my mistake.

I was reading stuff on GN and ive obviously posted while on the topic AIBU

My apologies

Serendipity22 Fri 28-Jan-22 13:47:31

Ohh they like the size of a store card/bank card and the person operating the till dishes them out to the customer with a look of great glee....
Pfft, ive never won a flippin thing.

I take a photo of the 1 dished out today at petrol station and post it on here... then its going in THE BIN haaa

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 28-Jan-22 13:29:40

I’ve never seen one of these cards.

Blossoming Fri 28-Jan-22 13:27:49

Why is it in AIBU?

Callistemon21 Fri 28-Jan-22 13:14:21

Actually, I thought this might be a thread by Gransnet offering prizes!

Disappointed now

Blossoming Fri 28-Jan-22 13:12:58

I’ve never been given a card such as you describe.

Serendipity22 Fri 28-Jan-22 13:05:26

Callistermon

Awww you missed out there.

I have won £10 on lottery !!!! So i gave up doing it haaa. I think i imagined i would do the lottery and win THOUSANDS on my few attempts !!! Haaa. Stupid, foolish me.

Callistemon21 Fri 28-Jan-22 12:42:46

The only thing I've ever won is rubbish raffle prizes!

No, I've never net anyone who has won such delights although a group at work won a few thousands on the lottery (not my team, unfortunately)

Serendipity22 Fri 28-Jan-22 12:40:31

printed on your CARD

Serendipity22 Fri 28-Jan-22 12:39:57

Ok, so you go in a shop, petrol station and are presented with a card proclaiming that if you enter code that is printed on your car - YOU CAN WIN A CAR, A HOLIDAY, THOUSANDS IF POUNDS !!!

My question is, has anyone ever won on these things ?

I've never won a flippin sausage.
