    My best win was a week's all-inclusive holiday in Antigua, it was sheer bliss.
    Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none.

    Hello All,

    Really caught the bug and have been comping 5 days!:rotfl:

    Wonder how long I'll have to wait till the first win!

    Obviously there are some great competitions out there, but just wondered what is the best / most expensive prize you have won or heard an MSE comper win?

    I have not been much of a comper before, but in my teens I won a trip to Chicago to see and meet the Chicago Bulls (including Michael Jordan!) That was pretty awesome experience.. would love to win a holiday soon!! :rotfl:
    Started comping: September 2013
    Wins so far: Cunard QM2 Cruise, X Factor final tickets, £1,000 Team build day, Dinner at the Ritz with Rolls Royce limo

    I've been comping since January (but took a couple of months off over the summer coz I had broken fingers!)

    My best win so far has been an overnight stay in London which was a night in a 4* hotel, theatre tickets, dinner and wine and then breakfast the next morning.
    That was for 4 people.
    My mum had never been to London before so it was amazing being able to take her and stay at a hotel I wouldn't have been able to afford!

    I've been comping since I bought my first PC 13 years ago, my biggest win was worth about £1,000

    £40,000 prize for me, I average about £5000 a year though.
  • I've only been comping about three and a half months and I've won quite a lot. I think I have been very lucky but I have also had the time to enter a lot of competitions due to being off over the summer from university. I suspect once I'm back i won't be able to put as much time in so getting in as many entries as possible before my return!

    My best win was actually about 3 weeks after I started and was £160 worth of Mac make-up, most of my other wins have been fairly small and I end up with a lot of book.

  • My best win was tickets to see Madness. I'm in my forties and I've always been a fan but never seen them live and wouldn't have gone if I hadn't won the tickets. It was an awesome night and worth more to me than a £500 cash win that would have just gone on bills. Obviously a large cash sum would have been better but that night out will stay with me for a long time :)
