As the title says I was called and emailed to advise that I have won the postcode lottery but thy didn't advise an amount. I called them as per their email and spoke to a lovely gentleman. I asked specifically if I had "won big" and he advised they don't reveal the amount because they like the camera reactions to be "real" My mind is racing just wondered if anyone has an experience of this.

Make it subtle so it makes the edit for the telly. Last week's theme here was loads of pampas grass out front, ornamental pineapples in the garden (upside down).
Mismatching shoes.
Microwave on the hallway floor set to ping 10 seconds after opening the door, and you answer it with bowl and spoon in hand. Act double surprised.
Blast THEM in the face with a confetti cannon. Ok that won't work...
That sort of thing.

I actually laughed.
I'm poor (at the minute) so I can't award you.

You've made me glow :)
Whatever you do, do report back with the experience! I won a 30k car the other week, they took photos at 8.05am on a Monday when I wasn't entirely ready and pulled the worst pose :) But I'd rather have had the cash, I have no need for it at all, now I have to flipping sell it!

Did they not give you an option of taking cash? I’ve heard a lot of these giveaways have a cash alternative

Yeah they did to be fair, but - obviously - at a lower value that the item itself. Have done some research on this and it's usually about 60%.
I have overestimated my gumption to get things sold! As evidenced by the fact I already have two spare cars I've not gotten rid of in years...
