Just wondering how long it was before everyone got there 1st win from entering comps from the forum (not counting comps from elsewhere)? Ive been at it for a while and not won a thing although that does sort off go true with my whole life as i have never won anything

I think for me it was a couple of months before I won anything! You just have to keep at it really, you have gotta be in it to win it kinda thing. The more you enter the more chance you have, your name has got to be picked some day! Good luck!0

I won after a few weeks a DVD (french film). I guess that luck does come into it but odds are very important. Comps with suspected low entries will give you a better chance than a win a house (5 MILLION ENTRY) comp. If you want to win enter lots of comps, if you only enter the big comps don't expect a high success rate.
Good luck :cool:Winnings 2007 = £463 winnings 2008 = £30002009 prizes = Tinkerbell DVD, Lipstick, apertif dish, London day out, secret service xbox game.0 -

I think for me it was about a month maximum before I got my first win, a nights dinner bed and breakfast in Edinburgh which was great. Wins are like buses though, you dont see any for a while then there are several at once!Weight Loss - 102lb0

Ive been comping since about April and still not a sniff of success for me either:rotfl:
Ill stick with it though as it is free to enter and occupys my time.
I think i used up all my luck finding tenners on the streets:rotfl:
Keep at it as the win will come one day and hopefully it will be a biggy as we have had to wait so long;)Offical MSE Fantasy League Member:beer:0 -
It was between 4-6 weeks for me. Keep plugging away at it and you will get something. Fingers Crossed for your 1st win soon.

i won something within the first week or two, I must admit that I have been fortunate with the wins, probably had at least one win a week, nothing big, mainly tickets but wins all the same.
What we see depends mainly on what we look for
