Within 7 days after the closing date/time of the Promotional Period, 105 winnerswill be selected at random via a computer randomiser algorithm, for the available prizes (fully stocked drinks trolleys & Warninks jumpers), from all eligible entries received during the Promotion Period.  Before the Prize Draw Winners are selected, each available Prize shall be placed into a list and then each Prize Draw Winner shall be allocated a prize from the list of prizes in the order they are drawn.
     
21. Within 7 days of the closing date/time of the Promotional Period, the Promotion Prize Draw Winners selected will be notified that they have won a prize via text from 60777 to the mobile number they entered the promotion with. Within the text, the winners will be requested to claim their prize by emailing contact@warninkspromo.co.uk and confirming the following details; full name, confirmation of the mobile number they entered with, delivery address and date of birth. Age identification will also need to be provided by the winners of the drinks trolley prizes (as stated in clause 16).  County of residence will be requested from the Main Prize winners for the purposes of the winners list, if no objection is received.

If no email is received from the winner within 7 days of the initial prize notification date, a winner rejects their prize or is ineligible, then that prize will be forfeited, and an alternative winner will be drawn using the same methodology as above. This process will repeat twice after which any remaining prizes will be deemed forfeited. Entrants are encouraged to monitor their connections during this time in case they are a winner.
