To let you know that you have won?? Do you have an alter-ego on here? Called quine?
So they can sell it and you receive hundreds of cold calls a day.
So they can call you and ask you the tie-breaker.

Bimbo - no alter-ago, I suspect we both originate from the same area. I don't need them to phone me to say I've won a fiver or whatever, I'm a bit sensitive to cold callers. My OH got rid of one very quickly by mentioning the word "dead"!! They hung up on him.
I agree with Pea Pod, as regards the crosswords or comps they NEVER ring to
inform you whether its a big or small win, but when they inform you and ask you
to fill in the form, its all confirmation that it IS you, and with a big win the request
a photograph NOT for necessary publishing, TAX purposes - with a big win in the
Lotto they do the same thing.

Thanks all, but I wasn't meaning big competitions, just these charity quizzes.
Well, I suppose I must answer the question with a question: "I wonder why they ask for a name and address?"
Just one of lifes little mysteries.
Seriously, just give your question some rational thought why don't you.
For charity quizzes,usually they ask for phone numbers to prove you are a bona fide donor or contributor to the charity and that the seller of raffle or quiz is not cashing in, to keep the permit to raise funds for a charity. Used to be just an address was required but now the authorities that provide the permit need to know that if they did contact the buyer of ticket or whatever, that person does exist and the sellers are not scamming

You're welcome, I don't have proper wording of it but that's the jist of it from my recollection
