Crazy story!

I entered a competition to win Football Manager on Xbox 360 ages ago. It was one of those do and forget things....

Anyway, this morning I arrived in college early so decided to check my email. Now, I use loads of accounts for loads of different things, as i'm sure a lot of people do, so I decided to check my Yahoo one, which I hadn't checked for ages (and had no idea it was the one i'd used to signup to GS with). Anyway, I logged in to see I had 96 new messages! Damn Project Rockstar and it's infernal daily updates :P

At this point I was about to give up and exit, when one particular message caught my eye....

Sure enough, it was from GS- regarding a competition. I opened it to discover i'd won one of five copies or something, and read it a few times to be sure. This was where luck had truly intervened.....

As I hadn't checked the mailbox, I had missed the original confirmation message, and this new one said I had until June 6th (today) to reply or the game would go to someone else. I quickly got a reply in, and about an hour later it was sorted! Gamespot FTW! I don't know how I would have felt if i'd read the message tomorrow!

Come to think of it, I probably won this on my old account, hence the unused email.

For 6/6/06 it was a very good day :D
