  • i've done this and typed:

    " yourname" win

    or you could type instead of win - winner, won, competition etc.

    I've found about 3 unknown wins this way :-)

    I have a beauty queen and a horsewoman with my name - how dare they ;)
    Happy with any wins this year :A
  • lol! Yes I can see that would make it more difficult.

    Another option then is:

    "yourname" and then your home town or county

    often prizes are listed with that level of detail...
