Questions about wins/websites

Just a quick question, has anyone won on the sites that seem to have a lot of good stuff?

Places like Stylist, Stufftv, Myoffers, great competitions?

I understand the bigger the site/prize the more entrants etc.

Just curious :)

TIA

    All except "Myoffers" will have had winners via MSE.

    "Myoffers" is viewed as a spam site on here & is not usually posted.

    see here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/1014121

    11 Are there any sites, from experience, which are likely to generate lots of spam?
    There are a few which have come to our collective attention as sites that, when used for comps, seem to generate lots of unwanted postal, email & phone call attention. These are listed below for your information, however, please do remember that this is only the collective opinion of other MSE Compers & does not necessarily reflect upon the sites themselves.
