Some 5/6 weeks ago my name and address featured in the list of consolation prize winners and the indication was that I would receive a pocket edition of Whitakers Almanac. I have received nothing. Is this par for the course?

[paulineward]

Wish I'd had a win to advise you of waiting period! Hope it arrives soon, or else it all seems for nothing doesn't it? Let us know if it does arrive! good luck.

The one and only time I won anything on the DT, it took over two months and a reminder letter before I received the prize. They blamed it on a shortage of book tokens!

[paulineward]

That's terrible! I'm disgusted.

Approx 2 years ago i received a consolation prize 4-6 weeks after the newspaper notification. At least it shows that they open them! Don't give up.

Hi zacharias

I won a consolation prize of a Whitaker's almanac quiz book a couple of years ago. It was several weeks before I got my book also (certainly at least five weeks).

If I remember correctly somebody posted a similar question at the end of last year, although they'd won the pen and had waited several months before they received their prize.

hi, I have had two almanacs and 5/6 weeks is about the witing period, give them a few days after the Easter break then e mail to see where it is. I had to chase up a jamie Oliver tea set from the express last year I do not think I would have got it if I had not pushed.
well done for the almanac anyway

Won main prize once and two pocket almanacs -- waited 4 to 5 weeks in each case. These prizes do not come from Telegraph but from The Stationary Office ( publishers of Whitaker's ). Pens tend to arrive quickly ( unless they run out ). Telegraph sends these out. Hope you hear from them soon -- and have other successes.

Best wishes.
