Mail on Sunday

Does anyone put their You Crossword and Prize Crossword in the same envelope - they go to the same Box No - or do you post them separately? I always post mine separately but wondered if this was necessary. Look forward to your responses xx

I post separately but an interesting idea especially as the price of stamps is likely to rise in April

[bobbie22]

I post mine separately, even though it's the same address. I think you will have no chance of winning if they pull an envelope with two crosswords in, But that is just my opinion!

I have heard that they remove the stamps and give them to charity so if you send both in one envelope you wont win. Dont know if its true though

[dalschickens]

Thanks for your replies. Think I'll continue to post separately. Hope it's true that the stamps are put to use by a charity organisation. It would be nice to win wouldn't it? Good Luck to all of you xx

You can actually put them in the same envelope. It says so in the How to Enter in the Seven Days Mag- just mark SD on the top left-hand corner.

Sorry islay-bernera, but that one is in the Sunday Mail paper in beautiful Scotland only. The paper they are talking about is the Mail on Sunday. The crosswords DO have to be put in separate envelopes and alexanderd is nearly correct as they are all put into separate boxes by a company outwith the Daily Mail/Mail on Sunday and they pick each of the winners out of the boxes and then take of the stamps to give to the various charities. A BIG thank you to them eh?

Post separately since there are two prizes. As for the charity thing, I asked Puzzlemeister a couple of years ago the very same question. There are roughly 30,000 entries he said and they haven't the time to open them all and destroy addresses before passing the envelopes on.So basically, no.............which is, I agree, a great shame.
