comps on local radio/press

Options
Hi

Do you enter comps that are set by local radio or press that are no where near to you?

Obviously if you had to pick the prize up or there was an event I would imagine not as many would enter, but say there was a comp for something you would like (eg an ipad) but it was by a local radio in London and you were in Scotland, for example, would you still enter it?

I see quite a few comps where I would like the prize, but dont enter as its running by a local radio or press that are not near me and just wondering if I should be entering them.

Thanks
Current Aims: Laptop/PC, decent money, holiday
Best Wins: Ipad, Nintendo 3DS, £400 Shopping Spree at LK Bennett, £100 Boots vouchers
Total Wins (Since April 2012) £3442.56
Big thanks to all who post comps :T:beer:

    I always mean to try local comps, but I usually run out of time doing the ones here. I would think the T&C should cover whether you have to be local to win. I've heard some say that local comps are worth entering because the odds of winning are far higher, which makes sense.

    Unless the t&c's specify that you have to live within a certain area or collect the prize then i'll enter any of them. I've never had any problems but I've never won any huge prizes from them, usually just books/cds/dvds.
