I wanted to ask some experienced compers....

i recently won from a magazine competition and wondered if i try to enter a comp with the same magazine again would that hinder my chances of winning?

I suppose im thinking would they let you win twice or do they have no say on it if its computer generated?

I thought am i wasting my time trying to win from the same people....has anybody won from the same magazine twice?

Many thanks in advance

    I've won from "The Star" quite a few times.Unless it states it in the terms I would just carry on entering.

    I've won from Glamour magazine a couple of times & Yours 3 times & a few other websites also. The only one that specified I couldn't win another prize for a 6 month period was Heart radio station, one of their t&cs is that if you win a prize worth £500 or more you can't win any more prizes with any of their related radio stations for a 6 month period but I don't know of any others who have such a t&c so keep on entering, lightning CAN strike twice in the same place x

  • Hiyah, check in the T's and C's. If it doesn't say anything about it in there I would go for it! Well done on your win!
