     Thank you Nikkii7 & Arran for your help in the puzzles I had difficulty solving  

     I'm not very computer literate so please excuse my asking a question here.
    
     For anyone lucky enough to win a prize, do you know if winner is still contacted by the publisher
     or do they only receive their prize by checking www.prizestolove.com.au and contacting facility if
     their name appears?

     States prize winners are listed for 28 days but Magazines no longer state, 'prize winners notified.'

     Good luck to you both

Hi Mortymouse, we are always happy to help, if we can!  I haven't won a major prize for a few years, but I found I had won by googling my name online.  Nowadays, unless the prize is very big like the 'win the lot' comps, I don't think they ring.  The prizes are sent out automatically and can take a couple of months to arrive also.  I would ring if you think it has been too long.  The other thing is that there are not too many big prizes nowadays as some of the prizes are drawn every few months, not every week.  I would really like to see an explanation of exactly how they draw the prizes, especially when there are entries online and by mail.

       Thank you Arran.

       Like you, I am also interested in 'how winners are chosen' now with combination of online, mail
       entries and New Zealand entries. (Several years ago I won/received an esky posted from NZ).

       Prior to online entry, magazine published an article of the postage draw which included a photo
       to show all envelopes being rotated in the back of a cement-mix truck prior to selection.
