Not got prize at work

At work we have team prizes, about £200 per person. I was in a team that won a prize but moved team (same organisation) before the prize was paid. I mentioned this to my old line manager and she said I’d still get it. But others have had it and I still haven’t. I sent a message to old line manager and no reply.
I am thinking there’s maybe a reason I’m not eligible. But then at least I should be told. I feel embarrassed to pursue it again and feel they expect me to take silence as the hint. But then £200 is a lot to me so I don’t want to just do nothing out of embarrassment. Thoughts please.

Ask again.

Send a reminder

I was on the team that won that 200 ;)
Please don't forget

Keep pushing. If prizes are used as incentives and you were part of the team when the 'prized' work was delivered then you are owed that money.

You should push back. You were in the team when the prize was awarded and didn’t move till after the award therefore it’s due to be paid.

Thanks guys. I was feeling embarrassed about asking again but you’ve convinced me I need to do it :)

Contact your payroll team. They'll follow it up with the manager.

Don't be embarrassed. If you won it and it's yours chase it up. With HR or payroll if you have to.

Sorry, my ability to communicate lately has seemingly disappeared 🤦

Say you didn't receive your prize payment in your last pay. I'm assuming that's how the prize is paid out?
