Just being curious...

Has anyone here ever won twice from the same competition?

I was wondering this the other day while doing the Magazine Dailies (especially one where there's 100 prizes to give away). You're allowed to enter these competitions twice (no idea if you're allowed to win twice, though) - but it got me to thinking that there must have been incidences somewhere where some lucky lad or lass has won twice in some competition somewhere!
Would LOVE to win:
A hamper - any sort! A goody bag - any sort! A UK mini-break. A year's supply of something foodie. Anything Sci-Fi related
2013 wins - Cutting Room book, Rock n Rose necklace, £50 M&S voucher, Greggs coffee, £70 voucher for a Onesie

    I won about 8 times from the fruit shoot contest, all the prizes just turned up together after daily entries!
    Wishing you all good luck!

    I remember years ago watching this morning or daybreak, I forget which,
    the same woman won a new kitchen 2 days running.
    cant remember the name but it really did happen.
    oh and Pepsi?

    and yes have won more than once for the same comp, but only smallish things, like 8 fridge magnets from danepak
    63 mortgage payments to go.

    Zero wins 2016 😥

    Only 8? I had 11 last time :eek:

    Have missed the magnet entry out this time around, there's only so many pictures from my kids that my fridge can hold :rotfl:
    Thanks to all posters :A
  • I won Pepsi twice (£500 each time) and Britvic three times (£250 each time).

    When Nut's used to be on the daily comeptitions (like the other IPC magazines are now) I won the top prize and a RU one from one competition they ran so you could win twice then but that was 2 years ago. They might have changed the rules by now but I think the number of people entering each one will be most against it happening now :-)

    I won four of the same lots of Maoam sweets & sweatbands!!! But in terms of "proper" wins, I've never even had one big win let alone two in the same comp!!!!

    Same here with the Danepak magnets here, not even bothering with magnets this time.

    I've won with the same company twice but not the same prize.

  • I won the My Daily Desk Sweep twice on twitter. I still feel a bit guilty and don't enter it any more. It was a fab prize both times though!
