Re: missed phone calls. Just wondering (maybe wishful thinking, but anyway) anyone that's received a winning phone call before .... do promoters usually leave a message or call back if you miss it? I've got a really bad feeling I may have missed an important call last night (at about 5.30pm), from a radio station. 5 missed calls from a private number (I was out shopping), no message left, and have heard them talking this morning about calling 'one of the finalists several times last night, but she didn't answer'. Terms and conditions say that finalists will be contacted between 3pm and 8 pm. Do promoters usually show their number or atleast leave a message?

PS: I won another radio comp a few weeks back, and with the initial call, they did leave a message and I called them back as the number was displayed too. But when they called again next morning (on air, to claim prize) it was a private number

I'm not sure about radio comps but when I've had winning phones calls ,they always leave a message, haven't been private numbers either

I would have thought that they would have left a message. Unless it is like cash cow on Sunrise were you have to answer in so many rings.

Most cases that I am aware of they do a re-draw to the next name called out or in line...
fingers crossed its not the case this time for you :)

Yeah well no message. I'm hoping I'm wrong too. It's an overseas trip and I actually was pretty happy with my entry. Well if I did miss out, I hope I never find that out. I'd throw myself under a bus I reckon!! lol
