I´m entirely sure they have conducted the draw and sent the winner a message already.
They just won´t bother posting a newspost before the winner has replied (and the postcard winner has got their letter).
After all, if the automatic draw winner doesn´t respond in 7 days, they will conduct another one.
Until that the best we can do is check our message centres and wait for mail.
If there´s none, then someone else gets a HUGE dose of happiness- at least someone gets their best day of their life.
Of course we all wish it would be us, but the winner could very well be someone we know.
I´m positive I´ll recognise the name of one of the 24, just for laughs.
Don't forget that there will be a delay before the announcement like others have said, one of the main reasons is that the winner has to respond to the message and agree to the terms and conditions, otherwise the prize is withdrawn.
If you haven't gotten the message by now you most likely won't for this draw, I'm sure they sent the message before the close of work on Friday. It only takes a fraction of a second to draw a winner's name once all the names are in a database, simply assign a number to each name and use a random number generator to pick the winner.
It's possible also that the winner might have to or want to forfeit the prize, thus starting a Round 2 drawing for the same prize!
Jmods did say, if I read correctly, that if the winner is unable to come to Cambridge they will draw another winner, since the whole point of this exercise is to have players come to the studios, not just get the free membership. Odds of this happening are probably about the same for getting picked in the first place, but they're still there
There *are* still 11 random prize draws left from what I understand, so don't feel too bad
