Never heard of such a thing, keep trying you will win something soon. Give your confidence a boost and do some of the comps that have more than one prize because although we would all like to win a biggie the small prizes keep us going.

Sorry, that just comes across as churlish to me. I spend way more than 2 hours every night but win a little more often than that.

Certain companies have rules about not allowing a winner to enter again for a set time but they are unusual.

Just keep going...we all have 'dry' periods...then you might win a few things in one day..'swings and roundabouts' as they say....Its the luck of the draw...:D

Don't get downhearted, keep going and you will win something nice (fingers crossed for you)

I know how you feel....I never used to win anything. It took me ages before I started to really get any wins but when I did, it was all worth it.

Just got an unread receipt for an email sent to sky for a comp that ended in feb.

Won a phone in June for a comp that ended on 28/02...

I can't see why anyone would be barred? As long as you adhere to the terms and conditions I think you have exactly the same chance as everyone else. Just keep going and I am sure a win with your name on it is just around the corner.

At the end of the day, it's a numbers game, the more you enter the more chances you have of winning. Look in your local newspapers and magazines for competitions in your area as you have a better chance of winning than nationwide competions. Chin up, girl. Don't give up just yet as I feel sure you will win something soon. Good luck.

I reluctantly admit that I used to feel a bit like this too - but it took two months of entering pretty much every competition, every day for the wins to come in.

I don't enter tickets unless I can go but enter pretty much EVERYTHING else including dailies (do you do those btw? Had some good wins from them!) as I think that either me or my family/friends could find a good home for pretty much every prize - but still win nowhere near as much as some people. However I'm a lot more positive now that I am winning small things as it does prove my name has the same chance as everyone elses.

Its not just about time spent comping, its also about the TYPE of comps you are entering, obviously if its a big money/value prize, many more people tend to enter than if its a comp for a book etc, so you do have less chance on these - I've never had a 'big win' but you do have to be in it to win it! Also, make sure you are entering comps that say 'win 1 of a 100 prizes' or similar, as more prizes mean more winners!

Your time will come, just keep at it!
