For the sake of testing, I just scratched the scratch card I got in this months FHM from Techtron Games. I won one of the top prizes on both games (suprise suprise). I've apparently won a holiday to Lanzerotti. I phoned and got the claim number. All I need to now is to send them a SAE to claim it. What are the chances of them honouring my win? I reckon they'll "lose" my winning card. What do you reckon?

i reckon you actually get Holiday Vouchers. claim £300 off your next holiday to Lanzerotti (when you spend over £1,200,000.67)

If only I done that last year. That'd be £300 more beer that I couldve drunk there.... Shit!

Take a photocopy before sending it and a photo of both the original and the photocopy together. I've won something too, I don't know what yet, but I'm in need for money so I'll take my chances...(how sad is that?)
"but you're not the only one
;)"
ARRGHH!!! how DARE you remind me of that song! It's the worst thing ever written!
ARRGH It'll be in my head for ages now!
BTW, I'm having difficulties working, resting and playing. Do you think anyone can help me here?? :)
Sarah has won a couple of those games too! We have won a holiday in Europe and something else... We also have to send a SAE and we haven't heard anything back from them yet! (about 3 weeks later!)

It appears that I have indeed won a free-ish holiday (about £27 plus travel insurance) but there is alot of hassle. I have to choose 4 prefered weeks from their chart. The first has to be at least 6 months from the date of application and all 4 choices must be a minimum of 8 weeks apart, in date order and no more than 24 months from the date of issue.
And I have to find a ballpoint pen to complete the application.
Alternativley I can go with another person for £69 each.

I won a dtrip to france about a year ago - didnt bother going in the end
as a little trick, when you phone the phone number for several thousand pounds an hour, do it from one of those payphones where you put the money in when the other person picks up, because without putting money in, you can hear everything they say. clever, non? although you only tend to get that kind of phone in schools and unis.

I seem to be very lucky, four scratch boxes and four wins (surprise surprise, I won an advert scratch game). Before I blow the cash to call, is this company even legit?
the title reminds me of The Game, which i've just lost.
the object of "The Game" is to forget that it exists. whenever you remember that there is such a thing as "The Game" then you have lost the game. you must then announce that you've remembered it to the other people playing "The Game" / the game. you then go to the bottom of the players as the most recent loser.
the game continues until everyone forgets it forever.
just to clarify a common misinterpretation of the rules: if someone loses it and says "I've just lost The Game" thus making you remember it exists, that doesn't count as you losing.

guy! you're not supposed to tell people about the game (i myself have been playing for about 2 1/2 years and according to the way we play it, i just lost..) the way it works is that you're all out and if someone remembers they usually say 'shit, i lost!!' then everyone else playing loses... then all those not playing beg to know what you're on about... you make them beg until you're really sure they want to play.. then and only then do you tell them about the game...
you're not allowed to ring someone up to tell them you lost though, thats just mean...
i also thought this thread would be about the game too...
jess!! i just lost too...
the best thing to do is shout out 'I just lost!' in a place full of likely game participants. or get someone who doesnt understand it to do it... :D

My husband bought a magazine from UK with Techtron Game. He showed me the ticket that He won 10,000.00 pounds. I had a look at this ticket and I notice that there was another game. So I scratched it off and I won 20,000.00 pounds. I gave it to my friend to cash it in UK. I wonder if they will pay us out.

Shadowed, 15:12, 27th May 2003:

I also won!! when i was working today, i found a game card, i scratched,and i won the big prize on both cards.I live in norway, and i dont know if it`s a joke or not! is it? If it`s not a joke, I may be £45,000 richer, this can`t be for real!? Many, or everyone, of you are saying that you`ve won, then it has to be a joke??!! Right? I want an answer:)...

It seems I won as well. Not sure whether on both tickets, as the bingo rules are not very clear to me, and I've never played Bingo before.
Anybody got a response from them ? What do they tell you if you call the phone number ?
I have won a holiday to lanz also, but I have now received the holiday voucher. I just need to pay £69+ taxes.
Word. I know this is a really old thread. But I need some answers.
1. "You are . . . . . and I claim my £5." Where from?
2. The Game. Deary deary me. I've just lost. I think I've been playing since 1999, which is way too long for any reasonable person to be playing one game. You can never stop playing the game, you just happen to win it for a while.
1. It's a popbitch in-joke (i think), but I think it originally came from a TV series, like the West Wing or something. I could be very wrong, of course.
()&^&*)&*()*
Oh right. Cause it once happened to me.. found a classified ad (I may well scan it in) saying "You are [My Name] and I claim my $5."
I learnt the game off my friends Simon and Arthur, who learnt it off some kid they met in Austria.

as in they are 'in danger'?
yeah, but when the armadillo population is thriving then they will spend more attention on the ninjas and pirates (i think)

yes vic, in danger of each other
In danger from the armadillo's more like!
those pussy pirates are in danger.
there are no such ninja's.
I bet there is a ninja out there called Nancy. Nancy the Ninja.
If such a ninja existed, he still oWNz J000!
