Q1: What's all this then?

It's your chance to win a little extra fun! Simply enter online for the opportunity to instantly win one of our limited-edition Penguin Joke Books, or a Google Play Audiobook. Every winner is chosen through pre-set winning moments, so every entry could be your lucky one.

Q2: When can I enter?

The fun starts at 00:00 on 3 August 2026 and finishes at 23:59 on 21 September 2026. Missed this entry period? Don't worry! There's also a Wrap Up Draw running from 22 September 2026 to 2 November 2026.

Q3: Oops... I entered too late!

Unfortunately, entries received outside of the Main Promotion Period or Wrap Up Promotional Period can't be counted.

Q4: What could I win?

Glad you asked! You could win one of:

3,000 limited-edition Penguin Joke Books.
20,000 Google Play Audiobooks.

Plus, if you're still feeling hopeful, there are 10 extra Joke Books (along with any unclaimed prizes) waiting in the Wrap Up Draw.

Q5: Who can join in?

If you're 18 or over and live in the UK or Republic of Ireland, you're welcome aboard.

Q6: Can I be lucky twice?

Yes... sort of. You can win one prize from each prize tier per household, so one limited-edition Penguin Joke Book and one Google Play Audiobook.

Q7: Do I need to buy a pack?

This is a no-purchase necessary promotion, so you do not need to buy a pack.

Q8: How do I enter?

Scan the QR code on pack or visit mcvities.co.uk/promotions.
Enter your name, email address and mobile number.
Submit your entry and keep your flippers crossed!

Q9: What do I need?

Just a few essentials:

A smartphone.
Internet access.
A valid email address.
A mobile number.

Q10: Can I enter more than once?

Absolutely. You can enter once per day, with a maximum of two entries each week.

Q11: How will I know if I've won?

You'll find out straight away! If you've landed a winning moment, you'll see an instant message on screen. We'll also send you a text with everything you need to claim your prize.

Wrap Up Draw winners will be notified by text within 7 days of the draw.

Q12: When will my prize arrive?

We won't keep you waiting too long. Joke Books will be delivered within 28 days of a valid claim. Audiobook codes will arrive by email within 7 days.

Q13: Can I choose any audiobook I like?

When you claim your prize, you can choose from the audiobook titles available at that moment.

A quick heads-up though: there are limited quantities of each title, and they're offered on a first-come, first-served basis. As the promotion progresses, some titles may become fully claimed and be removed, so the range on offer to later winners may be smaller. We therefore can't promise that any particular title will still be available throughout the duration of the promotion.

Q14: What if I forget to claim?

Don't let your prize waddle away! If it isn't claimed within 14 days, it'll be forfeited and another lucky entrant could benefit.

Q15: My entry isn't working...

Don't panic. First, check you've entered your details correctly and haven't gone over the daily or weekly entry limits. If everything looks right, try again a little later or use another browser. Technology can occasionally have an off day too.

Q16: Where can I read the full Terms & Conditions?

You'll find everything you need at mcvities.co.uk/promotions. All the important details are waiting there.

Q17: Can I see who won?

Of course. A winners list (surnames/counties) is available on request for four weeks from 13 November 2026. You can request this by emailing info@winners-list.com with the subject "8646 Winners List".

The Promoter reserves the right to amend or withdraw the Promotion if deemed necessary due to circumstances outside of its reasonable control.
The Promoter’s decision is final on all matters relating to the Promotion.
If the Promoter has reasonable grounds for believing that an entrant has contravened the Terms and Conditions, the Promoter reserves the right to select an alternative winner.
The winners’ surnames and counties can be requested by emailing info@winners-list.com with the subject “8646 Winners List” and will be available for a period of 4 weeks from 13/11/2026.
By entering this Promotion, each entrant acknowledges that if selected a winner, their surname and county may be disclosed to persons enquiring, where permitted by law. Any entrant may object to their information being made available in this way or may request that the amount of information made available be reduced, by contacting the Promoter. In these circumstances the entrant acknowledges that the Promoter may nevertheless disclose such information in full to the Advertising Standards Authority if required to do so.
Entrants must enter the Promotion using their legal name. The Promoter will verify the eligibility of prize winners. The Promoter will require such information that it considers reasonably necessary for this purpose, and a Prize may be withheld unless and until the Promoter is satisfied with the verification.

For this reason, the Promoter reserves the right at any point to:

6. Disqualify entries which, in some other way, do not fully meet the requirements of these Terms & Conditions.
Where a winner has been found to be in breach of any of these Terms and Conditions and in particular where a person is in breach of the entry restrictions, the Promoter may nevertheless still enforce its right to disqualify that person and require the return or reimbursement to the Promoter of any Prize even where a prize has been awarded and/or actually provided to the entrant or winner in question.
The Promoter makes no representation or warranty in relation to any Prize provided. Except as specifically set out herein and to the maximum extent permitted by law, all conditions, warranties and representations expressed or implied by law are hereby excluded.

If an act, omission, event or circumstance occurs which is beyond the reasonable control of the Promoter and which prevents the Promoter from complying with these Terms and Conditions, the Promoter will not be liable for any failure to perform or delay in performing its obligation.
Winners may be invited to participate in reasonable publicity arising from the Promotion with no further compensation.
This Promotion is governed by English Law, and entrants submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts, save that nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall deprive residents of the Republic of Ireland of any mandatory protections afforded under Irish law.
