    It was 6 months before I got my first win and then they have been coming along slow and steady since then. Keep going and you will get a win in the end.

    It took me about 8 weeks for my first prize and then probably another 8 weeks for my next. They were small prizes but I was delighted. At the time I was probably entering 100 comps a day though, so keep comping and eventually you have to win.

  • i have been going for about 4 months and i fisrt won in jan and i won once in feb, so if you keep going and enter all the things you would want to you will win, just give it time
