Is this a message you received in the game itself? If so, please provide me with a screenshot. If you took part in a contest and won a certain amount of Drachma, we usually contact you via the forum or Facebook. In-game messages are most likely spam or a scamming attempt.

I think it was a message from the game or facebook or something.  I just got a message saying they won't be there much longer to claim.

This post isn't a response to the original question, but it is along the same line of inquiry. I have won a variety of contests, getting 20 Legates (veteran and not) among other units, as well as a whole bunch of drachmas. Of course this has been spread out over the entire time I have been playing, and it should also be noted that I try my luck at EVERY SINGLE CONTEST. Now, obviously when I suddenly have 2k more in drachmas that is kind of hard to miss. But some of the other prizes (specifically the greek assasins) can slip by unnoticed. Now, I know that I can scroll through every contest to see if I won, but isn't there somewhere that posts the winners of each one??

at each contest can you specify when the contest would end and also keep some code number that is unique for each contest?it is kind of hard to keep track of the various contest we have attempted
