Won a prize (maybe)

Recently won a significant gift card. Refused to get excited about it but ordered some stuff that I felt I needed bit randomly because unsure if it’s real or not.
Anyway, one item arrived and I told dd is hacked off with me for not considering anyone else. I really didn’t think because I was (and still am) unsure of it being genuine.
I honestly don’t get why dd is upset. She wasn’t angry just pointing out that I should have thought about her and her siblings. We are both autistic so perhaps we are not clear enough with one another. It’s taken the shine off it a bit.

If I ever won anything, @LumpyPumpkin, I wouldn't know where from. I enter various prize draws but don't bother remembering them ... because I never win anything 😏

I’m sorry OP but I just don’t understand what’s going on here.

Well, congratulations from me! 💥

Now it seems genuine, let DD pick something, obviously. Quick check first: you didn't have to input your payment details when ordering the prize, did you?

I don't understand what you mean.

It was a lucky dip on Instagram, you think? How do you not know how you won?

What makes you think it could be fake? Have they asked you for your card details or something suspicious?

  1. it was a lucky dip thing on instagram, from what I can gather. I actually can’t remember. It is from a firm I have purchased from before.
  2. Dd had nothing to do with it.
  3. it just feels unreal, I’m not a person who wins things, especially not big things.

Agree with other posters, I have many questions. How did you win this gift card? Was your daughter involved (i.e. helping you with trivia, helping fill out forms, etc)? Why are you not sure it's genuine? If you used it to purchase something, surely that showed you it was/wasn't?

How did you win the gift card?

Gilead · 04/02/2024 18:38

I have received a small item, the other items are in the hundreds, it seems a lot to give away.

Could you explain why you don't think it's genuine?

Merryoldgoat · 04/02/2024 17:37

I don’t quite understand? If you don’t know if it’s genuine how are you using it?
