Am I just unlucky??

Hi,
I have been comping since about May last year, did it a lot each day from May till end of August then our computer packed up and it was sorted until end of November! So I restarted in December but I have won a total only what I have on my signature and I just can't get my head around some of your guys who in one single month can win at least 3 prizes and not just little ones, cash and concert tickets!
Am I just unlucky??

:confused:

    If you're entering loads and not winning, what else could it be? Don't forget a lot of the December comps may not have been drawn yet.

    I think also alot of people enter postal, phone and text comps, not just online ones, I was thinking the same, but now the comps I have entered in the last few months are starting to end and the wins are trickling in, but I do enter about 200-300 a day!

    staceysteve, keep your pecker up, I'm sure the wins will follow shortly. I used to do lots of coping for a while back in the early 90's when it was all postal entries, can't believe how many there are now. I didn't have a decent win at all back then but since I started again 4 weeks ago I have had 2 x £1000 wins.

    How many are you entering and how many comps do others enter?
  • Lol I think it is a Stacey thing!
    RatGirl - how do you manage to enter 200-300 a day??
    I think I must enter between 30-50!?!? : (
    Sammyface- you are just sickening lucky!!! : p

    Like you I used to do a lot of postal comps back in the 90's for about 2 years and won about 3 holidays, £5000 vouchers, dishwasher, bikes, microwave, to name but a few - they kept rolling in!! Back then it was mainly tie-breakers. Didnt have the time to carry on and started doing them again via this site the other year. I now spend quite a few hours each day on here entering loooooads and a big win has still eluded me. Have won a portable TV, DVD's, Cd's, lip sticks, mascaras etc but I think a big one is just around the corner. ;) :rotfl::rotfl:
    (will have to otherwise I cant get out of washing the dishes etc much longer to get back on the PC and do my 'comps' ).
    Its always nice to get something in the post other than a bill and the small wins keep you going.


    I agree some are luckier than others but they may just enter more.
    Main thing is if you enjoy doing them carry on, one day you may win a big prize.
    :D
  • But I don't even understand how you find hundreds to enter each day??
    I know there are other ways other than looking on here but there must only be about 60 new ones posted each day on here tops?!?
