    Hiya - I try to enter between 50-100 comps a day sometimes more! I have had 6 wins since the start of the year but all are small but gratefully received. Monetary wise they add up to about £125 so not a bad return for free entires!

    Yet to have a massive win but had some great stuff last year so hold on in there - the wins will trickle in slowly but steadily and you will love getting a WEM or a parcel from the postie that you are not expecting!

    HTH you to keep going!

    As others have said, you just have to have the patience really. Some people are getting WEM's now from competitions that ended last year.

    & remember, those who do tend to get a few wins per week are entering like 100+ a day, that's like 3000+ so it's effort involved too.

    All the best x

    I have a win ratio of about 1 in 1000, so don't think you are unlucky at all, but then I enter at least 200 per day. You have to be in it to win it and rememeber that some prizes take months before you receive them, I won a fridge freezer in a newsletter draw in September but was only informed of the win mid December.
    August wins: BBQ, Solar Garden Lights, Seeds

    Don't give up. I have not won a lot but I have had a couple of super prizes that were well worth waiting for.
    Good luck!
