Just a thought...

In the Winners List I notice some of the oldest unclaimed prices are now around 3 months old.

Perhaps you should change the terms of GAD, so that people have to claim within, say 1 month? Obviously the whole point of GAD is to attract visitors - this way you will both encourage repeat visits and solve a possible embarrassing situation where prizes remain unclaimed forever.

I would suggest you could say something along the lines of:

"prizes must be claimed within 30 days or the value of the prize will be donated to charity"

What do you think?

There is a time limit, all names are removed from the list after 90 days so you have to claim by then. If the amount of people who don't claim reaches stupid amounts then this might change but I can't see many people turning down £30!

Why would they want to give money away who are too unwise to claim within a couple of weeks at most? It's not like there's anything to choose, just say "I want Amazon/Argos vouchers"

I like the idea about giving it to charity though.

Did I mention I'm a registered charity as of today?
