Normally, they say things like 'de nombreux lots à gagner !' -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 33 minutes (2016-12-19 18:37:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ah yes, that's a faux ami! 'Prix' never really means 'prize' in the sense of something you enter a competition to win — think of it more as 'award' and you won't go wrong (Prix Goncourt, for example) |
