Am I the unluckiest person on here?

I have been entering pretty much every competition on here and UK Competitions since October last year and all I have won is a book!

Should I just accept I am unlucky and cut my losses?

Thanks for everyone's help getting these xx

    Thanks. I'm holding on to the hope maybe I will get something I really want soon (like a new ipod after I dropped mine in the toilet - how unlucky is that?)

    My wins tend to come in bursts...I won nothing for about a year, then within a month I won an Xbox 360, some DVD's and a Laptop in seperate comps.

    Aaw, I'm sorry you haven't won more and I know how you feel. I've been entering everything since January and all I've won is some cellulite cream from the Glamour comp (which I'm very grateful for). Perhaps we will both win something really lovely soon. Good luck, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

    Have you really entered virtually every comp on here? That seems really unlucky if so, I tend to win about 10 prizes a month and don't enter all of them on here.

    Hope your wins pick up!

    too many comps..not enough time!

    Positive thinking,
    I am going to win,
    I will win,
    The postman will bring me something good today.
    A winning present is on it's way.
    Keep entering but only do it if you enjoy entering.
    Good Luck
