Competition winner
Rather surprisingly I have won two tickets for the final Lions test match which is taking place on Saturday 4 July in Johannesburg. I vaguely remember entering this from the EC offers page.
Does anyone recall more details of the competition or even have a link to it on BA's web pages? Unfortunately while I get 2 tickets to the match I have to pay to get to South Africa myself and cover accommodation. As a result I'm not sure how good a prize this is! I was interested to know if other prizes offered a flight as well.

Not really a massive prize (in terms of monetary value). Tickets for the third test on eBay are around £300-450 a pair. This is actually rather low for a high profile rugby match, tickets for big Six Nations games fetch a lot more (due to the fact that most international rugby tickets aren't really allowed to be resold, they can be very expensive on the grey market). I imagine the fact you need to get to SA puts people off this.

A quick check on BA.com seems to show plenty of availability in all cabins around these dates.
