    I enter nearly all the comps posted here every day and haven't won anything, but I'm still hopeful. Fingers crossed for a new TV
  • i started about one or two month ago... and i won a set of bikes. so i guess it's all due to luck!

    I started doing this about 6 weeks ago and so far have won one Avon Instant Win and 50 iTunes songs.... but that's more than I ever have before cos I used to think 'why bother I never win anyway' and not enter anything.
  • I do about 4 a day and have been for about 6 months. Only one win so far but it was a £1300 Tag so definitely worth the effort!!

    I was entering comps for 6 months before I won anything and even then it was only a Brian McFadden CD. Since then it's been about one win a month on average so keep at it and you will get a win eventually.

    It is all down to luck but also down to the law of averages - ie the more you enter, the more chance you have of winning something, even if it's just a dvd or a dance mat;)
