You have to be in it to win it!

After a long while of entering competitions,i got disheartened when i never won anything, but then my luck started to change. Last year,i won a competition to see the Pride of Britain Awards being filmed, got VIP tickets and got to walk down the red carpet where all the celebs walked down. Got there early and saw Gordon Ramsey, Myleen Klass, Bob Geldof, Charlotte Church, Kelly Osbourne, Nancy Dellolio and Girls Aloud (who kindly posed for a picture for me before they did a press picture). Once the filming was over, we got VIP invites for the aftershow party, loads of champagne and food,_party_ where I saw Colleen Nolan, Carol Vorderman, Amir Khan, Kate Garraway and the lovely Paul O'Grady, all of which were very nice and allowed me to have photos taken of me and them together. A prize that cost me 2 minutes of my time online, not even a stamp or envelope and a lovely time i had too.

So, for all of you cynics ( i was one too) it does work out sometimes,but you have to be in it to win it!!! Good Luck.

    I agree - I enter LOADS of comps on the basis that the law of averages dictates, I must win some of them - and I do:D

    A lovely story. Now you can enter competitions knowing someone out there really is going to win.
