Anyone not won??

It is lovely to see who has won and I congratulate you all. I was just curious to find out if there are any who are the opposite and who do not win?

I have only been doing this for around a weeks so I'm not bitter at all (yet) for not winning:( I'm just curious if there are any who have tried and tried only to come away empty handed?

    I go through phases of not winning but they never last that long.

    You may find that you are not winning as many of the comps you have entered have not ended yet. Keep at the comping and i'm sure some wins will come your way :)

  • Oh I'm not worried and as I said I've only been doing it for a very short time so far. I'm quite enjoying the excitement of checking the mail (post and online). I was just curious if people try and try and never get anywhere! Sorry if it's a bit morbid I just thought it might be an interesting thread!! I love to read the win win win threads too!!

    I've been entering comps for almost a year now and i've had 4 wins via MSE, the biggest being a Wii and the other 3 were small (but welcome) wins, which I didn't know i'd won until the postie delivered them! Definately keep at it though, Lady Luck shines on us all at one time or another :)

  • Ah right, literally not won a sausage. I suppose that's ok, not sure I would want to win a sausage either!!

  • I've been doing competitions the whole of 2010 so far and yet to win a thing...
  • Awww this is far too depressing to read! I'm a newbie comper and like to think my big win is going to turn up any day now! (Comping about 4 weeks now and not won anything yet...but its early days and still some ive entered that havent ended). I get excited checking my email each day and can't wait for Mr Postie to arrive each morning (though i can't hide my disapointment when nothing is there)...but I like to read the IWIWIW page and see all the great wins people have had! Puts a big smile on my face! :)

    You have to be in it to win it...and if other people are winning it...there is no reason why I can't win the next one (expecially the crunch time quiz that I watch Zoe win 3 times!!! It'll be mine tomorrow lol).

    I've been entering since November last year and had about 50 wins from then until now, the biggest to date is a scooter lambretti bike and all others have been small like make up, dvds, even though I entered 9,000 from November til December last year and so far up til tonite (Jan til now) 21,346.

    I do find it hard but when they have cos nothing to enter any I do win is a bonus well despite all the hours of entering and sorting my spreadsheets it takes me.

    Hope you win something soon.

    I must admit it is addictive and sick of waiting for the elusive postman to come each day as some prizes have just turned up which is a nice surprise.
