Just Started Comping and 3 Wins Already!

I've always entered a few competitions (usually the makeup ones where they have a few thousand to give away) but recently got an offer for a free trial of MyComps and decided to start taking it a bit more seriously. Decided MyComps wasn't for me as I already figured out to sign up for all the newsletters from where they sent me and could enter online competitions without their assistance.
In the last two weeks I've won a Rimmel lipgloss (one of my usual comps), a 3 tier cupcake stand (Baking Mad) and a limited edition Dermatalogica skincare set (30 Days of Fashion and Beauty), so it definitely goes to show that quantity really does count, I'm entering at least 100 a week now.
Speaking of which, I'm currently on another free trial (2 months) for Simply Prizes magazine which I got as a reward via Coinks but am finding myself discinclined to enter a lot of postcard competitions or paid telephone ones (low income). They rang me to see if I'd got my first issue and mentioned a company called Prize Draw Central who take your details and enter you into 250-300 competitions a month automatically, costs either £79 per year or £8.45 per month. I decided to give this a go for a month or two from next week, has anyone else any experience with this company? I think they are associated with Simply Prizes in some way as MyComps are part of the same group of companies as well.
I've only had small prizes so far but the cake stand in particular was a total surprise, no email just a parcel turning up out of the blue, exciting!
