STEVE Wedge proved lightning really can strike twice by winning his second Oxford Mail competition.

The father-of-four correctly answered our festive question: “According to the song, how many days of Christmas are there?”

And in case you hadn’t worked it out, the right answer is 12.

Steve texted us the correct answer by the closing date, December 19, and was lucky enough to have his name selected at random.

So this Christmas he got to watch the football and Doctor Who on a new £400 Hitachi 42-inch HD television.

The 56-year-old, of Cope Close, Botley, said: “I saw the competition in the paper and thought ‘that would make a nice present for Christmas’.

“And I won a trip to Center Parcs through the Oxford Mail about three or four years ago, so I thought it could happen again. I had just bought my son a TV for his bedroom, so when I got the call my reaction was disbelief.”
