I have entered hundreds of competitions, and have only ever won 1 thing, and that was weeks ago!
How do you all do it? Do you have any tips?

I enter 250+ a day
I average about £300 a month in prizes - last month was my best ever with over 35 wins worth over £7,000 :-)
The more you enter the more you win - I have most luck with instant wins/hourly/daily comps and facebook/twitter/blog comps.Not really comping any more as too ill - but hoping to win £1000+ in 2017 in cash prizes - watch this space!0 -

Really really really need some luck throwing my way !0 -
I started over a year ago and only won a wii this year recently from oreo lick race. They called to say I won a mario kart wii bundle on 26th July. I then got a call today from them again saying I won a black edition sports resort wii too as I had entered again but upon checking the T&C it was only one win per house hold! Unlucky me to win on the same comp twice lol! SO thats it for me... a wii and a pair of dr pepper pants lol!! I enter about 100-250 a day depending on how much time I have and I'll keep going! It's fun :-)2011/12: Wii & mario cart £200 lego bundle Samsung Galaxy S3, 2 nights in London with flights, £200 spending money £1000 cash! Spongebob joke teller!

Your a newbie, try entering hundreds a day for years and never winning big. Sometimes people are lucky and sometimes they aren'tNo you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:
Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T0 -
Somebody has to win if the competition is fair and honest.
I guess most free compo's get thousands of entries so it is a shot in the dark.
I did win £50 from Samsung a few years ago on a (on an upgrade phone) christmas advent calendar compo, but they took 3 months to send it!!!
I've had some nice wins on the lotto and bingo but too few and far.
I've managed to get some freebie tickets by just being there at the right time or luck of the draw.0 -
Just a question for the people who enter 100s per day - do you only enter from MSE? I enter all the ones I'm interested in and only end up entering about 30-50 per day. Do you enter nearly everything (big and small)?
Yasmin, you'll win something else soon - I'd love to win a spa break - one of those things I don't want to spend my hard earned on but would still love to indulge!Aiming for that elusive 'debt free' by Christmas 2012

I have won a razor and a DVD boxset since I started comping in January. Ok, they are small, but the feeling is great and that is most satisfying.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
