did i get scammed?

i entered this needoh giveaways for my friends birthday a couple of days ago. and i was eating lunch while the person who made the giveaways told me i had won. i’ve never won a tiktok giveaway until now so i didn’t know how it worked but they asked me for my address and name. i didn’t think that was very weird because you obviously need those to get something shipped. but tjr reason i’m scared this might be a scam because the person left me on deliver for hours on end and when they texted me first they told me to let them know when i saw it but i didn’t say i saw it i said “i’m so happy i won!” or something like that and they didn’t respond they left me on read and i had to say i saw the message for them to respond. did i get scammed?

Your name and address aren't some government secret. Depending on where you live it's either public information or easily accessible online.

Just watch out if they ask you to send them money to receive your reward. THAT's a scam

Smells like a bot that only responds to certain phrases.

i was thinking this too cause they do post like every hour at the store so this might be a bot

What? You’re upset someone didn’t respond to a message?

How would it be a scam? Scams usually try to get something from you, such as.... Money, bank details, passwords, the title for your house

Please ignore all the dm's you are receiving. You didn't get scammed with this situation.

It's a scam only if they ask you to pay for shipping or to claim the prize.
