Sorry, not sure where else to post this!

There was a woman on tv a while ago... And apparentely she entered every single competition that she could find. She won everything that she owned (her house, her car, I mean EVERYTHING!). Does anyone remember her? Know her name? I wanna read about her again... I'm sure there's an article/page about her online.

PS: feel free to move if it's in the wrong place!

    I read that a while ago and I've seen her on TV too. I don't know how she does it to be honest unless she's entering each comp 100 times or something. I enter loads of comps and I can't say I could live off the proceeds. Could anyone else on here?

    No, although some compers supplement their incomes very well.
  • Hah, I thought it seemed impossible too... But obviously it's not. Maybe she's extremely lucky? :P

    :cool:

    Hells bells, my debt probs are bad enough without having to rely on my virtually non existant comp winnings!



    Wasn't she an absolute whizz at tie breakers?

  • :wave: Hi from a fellow comper (no wins this year yet-my new Years resolution is to stick at it for a change!). I think the woman you are referring to might be Lynne Suzanne? She focuses very much on slogan/tie breaker comps from what I can remember.
