Prize draws

I have just been screened out of yet another survey after spending ten minutes answering questions, but all is not lost. I have been entered into yet another prize draw! In fact I've been entered into so many prize draws over the last few years that by the law of averages I must surely win. They are supposed to be compensation for spending time trying to do surveys and failing. Surprise surprise, I've never won a thing and I've never met anyone who has won anything either. Do they actually exist? Would you rather have a small amount added to your account each time instead? I know I would.
Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:

You should check out the competitions board on here there is a I Won section and a really helpful guide for beginners, you say you enter a lot of prize draws but many regulars on the comps board enter hundreds a day:eek: it really is down to luck but the more you enter the more chance you have to win:)Thank you for this site MartinThe time for change has comeGood luck for the future0 -
No I don't enter a lot of prize draws intentionally. I belong to a number of survey sites who offer payment in return for completing surveys. It's actually payment in cash that I want. Quite often they will send out a survey and you have to answer a number of screening questions first. It can be very frustrating if you spend time answering all these questions only to find that you don't qualify to take the survey. Instead of giving you a cash reward they have entered you in a prize draw instead. Yesterday I was sent a long survey and I answered 25% of the questions before I was suddenly redirected to a screen that said, "Sorry. You don't qualify."Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:0
