Is there a phone number on the letter you've received?  It might be best to give them a call and sort it out. :)  Good luck, and congrats on your win. :cheers:

Theres no phone number unfortunately but theres an email so I've sent them an email asking them to clear it up for me.
Yes Hopez that sounds like the one. Did you find that on ACC or on 'the sauce' website? Maybe whoever posted it on ACC got the terms and conditions a little muddled up. Which is understandable. The terms and conditions you found are very similar except for number 6. theT&Cs on ACC say 6.The prize is not transferable or redeemable for cash. There are 2 x family passes to be won. Prizes and values are as follows: 2 x prize winners will each receive a Family pass Kids Gift Pack. Prize packs gifts, including books, mobile handsets, DVDs, CDs, arts and craft, games and puzzles (please note packs may vary slightly) valued at $500.00each – Total prize pool value: $1,000.00 GST inclusive
Either way Im happy with the win, just wish I knew what I actually won LOL

ok just heard back and I've been told admission is included in the prize even tho it isn't stated. However in regards to the T&Cs number 6, she told me that two comp T&Cs has accidently merged but had been fixed up before the comp ended therefor I am not entitled to that prize as it was a mis - print.
Judging by the T&C's do you think I'd be allowed to sell this prize as I would only be able to use half of it for my son and me??? There is no name on the gift certificate
