Competition Blog - Won Twice In One Week!!

hi everyone, i have decided that from today - i am going to start entering competitions!

after reading all of the success stories on this website i really think that theres a little chance that if i enter loads and loads of competitions that i may be lucky enough to win something

you hear all these stories bout people winning at least one a month so im gonna try my luck.

im gonna keep a blog through this thread of all of the wins if i have any (hopefully i will!!!) and will keep posting now and then even if i havent won any

im only going to enter online competitions and i will not pay anything to enter so then it is totally free. i dont class myself as a lucky person so if this blog results in any wins then i hope it encourages other people to start entering....

wish me luck people!!

Edit:
now that i have won two things i am going to keep a record of what i have won month by month and see how things go. im still waiting for a big prize! lol

July - England World Cup Fever 2dvd (mirror competition), bottle of Hendricks Gin (Drinkon.com competition)

  • Good luck - I started entering online comps about 6 months ago and won a few small prizes dvd's etc but it's still a win! I haven't had time to enter lately but am going to start entering again. Just need to find the time........

    Good Luck. I started mine a couple of months ago. I even set up a blog like you are doing. I'll try and get a list of some sites - save you hunting them out.

    My blog is at https://www.million-competitions.blogspot.com

    hi everyone, well i dont know how long it has been since i first started entering comps and doing this blog but this morning i had a surprise parcel with my first competition win!!!!

    it was a double dvd of englands world cup fever with englands road to germany on one disk and england v argentina match on the other.

    it had no letter with it but the postmark says that it has come from MGN, One Canada Square, Canary Wharf, so i am thinking it is from the mirror newspaper competitions

    im sooo happy and hope that my lucky streak continues!
