    Just keep going I felt like you at first but you do eventually start to get wins some of the wins come a long time after the comp has ended when you've completely forgotten about them and some just come through the post with no warning.
  • hi gunton 10
    i have been entering competitions for a few years now,mostly postal ones,i have won some lovely small prizes,the best was in my local paper,when the ps2 came out,i won one,with steering wheel and a racing game my 3 boys were well chuffed.
    my family and friends used to laugh,when i mentioned a certain comp i'd entered,they'd say nobody wins i don't know why you bother,but i said you will laugh when i get a big win.
    then probably 6 months ago i started entering on line comps,and lucky me a couple of weeks ago i got a phone call saying i had one a new york trip,with T4,here's the letter,with what i have one.so don't give up and keep thinking I WILL GET THE BIGGIE ONE DAY

    I ain't won nothing yet, been comping for about two months. But I FEEL LUCKY!

    Do you feel lucky, punk? Do ya? Do ya?

    I do. I'll win some cool things eventually, I know it.

    It's a numbers game. You've got to be in there, entering, not giving up and saying 'It's hopeless, I'll never win.'

    Look at it this way, statistically, even though a lot of people comp, it's nowhere near the amount of people entering the lottery, and your odds are a lot better. Plus it's free. What have you got to lose?

    It does take a good six weeks after entering a comp to get the prize I find. So if you have been entering for 6 weeks plus a prize should be coming any day. Also enter everythin, just today I think I must have entered 200 comps. The more you enter the more chance you have to win!

  • I think I must be the unluckiest one here, I have been entering online comps for about a year and a half, must be getting up to 1000 now and have I won anything, nothing at all!! I did manage to win £3.67 from online bingo, but even then I lost track of how many games I had to play to win that, luckily it was all free money I was using.

    I will keep trying, law of averages has to work out one day!

    The key to successful comping is persistence. Do remember many prizes arrive months in arrears.

    Competition wins are like buses, none for a while then a several come at once
