Great Competitions / Yours??

Not a win... more of a question....
Having just entered seemingly hundreds of GC/Yours comps again, I just had a wonder as to whether anyone ever actually won any of these...
So, searching IWIWIW with 'Great Competitions' I reckon I've found [STRIKE]less than ten winners[/STRIKE] ...far fewer than I would have expected on here since October....
Now, considering if you go through their whole list they are offering more than 200 prizes per month (and they are often win one of ten, or one of many), and also considering MSE'rs averages/ratios in other comps - not bad, but usually if it's a one in ten there will be at least one MSE win in there...and the recent fantastic run in the Sky Gadget geeks comp etc etc really has got me wondering....why there aren't a lot more IWIWIW thanks threads for GC competitions..
So my questions really are...
Am I wasting my time on Great Competitions?
Do they publish winners lists?
Any thoughts welcome,
atb g.
ps I do realise I'll probably win one tomorrow and this will be a total waste of a thread but I had to ask....:rotfl:
