Going for gold scratch card, came in some magazine. Gonna send it off and see, no harm done. If the accomodation is shite I will just book into somewhere else. Hilton only costs £60 a night.

tonyk - like you say the accomodation will prob be horrible, but believe me you have won.
I used to think these were just a con, until I did the insurance for the companies that would put the winning cash up (just in case someone actually did get lucky and phone up!). They have one top prize and it really is there to win!
However they make their money because they work out the chance of how many people will chuck them away thinking they were a con to the number that phone up (and they get money from). They actually make money!
so next time it says your a "gold circle" winner - you may just be in with a chance of becoming a millionare

well - that is exactly the action they count on people taking!! I cant remember exactly but it was something like 90% of the cards get chucked away and therefore they stand very good chance of no-one claiming the big prize!!!

If it sounds too good to be true..... it normally is!
I'm only jealous as I've just booked up to go to Orlando.... and staying at a Hilton! Cost me an arm and a leg!
Fingers crossed for you (not really - jealous again!)
