Hi everyone,

I just won one of the top prizes on both games (Techtron Games); only problem is that I’m in Sydney. I know that conditions say that the game for UK residents only, but I was wondering is there any point of calling and trying to claim the prize. Another thing is whether anyone knows what the symbols on the cards represent? (In terms of prizes).

Cheers

BG: Those scratchy things you get in magazines. They all claim you win, but in reality to have to ring an expensive "claim line" and then you may get a packet of seeds or a key ring. Best case scenario is if you win holiday vouchers. Sul knows about all this.

Do it - phone up and check your prizes, and if they are good send the cards to me and I will claim for you...
