So one year is over, no comps won

Been entering daily for 12 months now. Not won a single thing.

No one can be as unlucky as me. Anyone?

    I guess it depends which comps you're entering & how many you're entering... Most of the wins we've had this year have been won by the kids.

    Its just luck of the draw really, so keep entering & you will get win eventually.
    Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:

    How many comps do you typically enter in a day? Do you just enter comps where there is one 'big' prize, as those are obviously less chance of winning that comps with lots of small prizes? I've never had a 'big' win in value terms, although I do enter those obviously.

    Other than those suggestions, can only wish you luck and hope something turns up for you soon?
    Thanks to all who post comps!

    If you just want a win, look out for the comps with hundreds of runners up prizes.

    A lot of your past 12 months worth of competition entries will still be valid though with the end dates of the competitions etc. So you might even get a few wins out of your entries still!

    It is just luck of the draw, and persisting with the comping, even when you are not winning.

    Don't lose heart try entering local radio and newspaper comps as i have won several times from these as they tend to have lower entries

    some people spend hours daily to win. It really does depend on the amount you do and whether there are runner up prizes. you have more chance if there are lots of prizes.
    Don't give up just yet

    That is incredibly unlucky! Poor you! I have to say though that I have been spending about 6 hours a day entering comps (bored at work!) and have been going for about two months, and I've only had very little wins and mostly from comps where they were giving away absolutely loads of prizes (Galaxy, Mars etc). Chin up and I'm sure something good will come your way soon!
