Unethical Facebook Competition

Sunridge Superspar ran a Facebook competition whereby the winner could win a LG LCD 3G TV sponsored by Cadbury. Rules were you needed to "like" and "share" their page in order to qualify. Originally, the competition was valid until 31/07/2013 but due to lack of participation they extended the competition to 30/09/2013.I entered the competition, shared & liked the page & the store acknowledged my entry into their draw. Yesterday, they drew a name at 10:00am which was a lady who they supposedly could not contact and who they thought had unliked their page. They then & I quote "due to public pressure" drew another winner who was me! They publicly announced me as their 2nd winner in a media statement on FB & I was told to contact them to claim my prize before Friday. I immediately contacted the store in excitement & was congratulated & told to expect a call the next day to arrange handover of the TV. Today, the 1st drawn winner made an appearance on FB & they retracted the TV from me on FB via an "inbox msg"! I am bitterly disappointed with Sunridge Superspar and the way this situation was handled from word go. It was handled unethically & unprofessionally & I was PUBLICLY humiliated on FB!!
