    I was about 12 (61) now,when i won my first competion.Long before the days of the internet.
    It was an EP,(vinyl record) from Typhoo tea.
  • My first ever win was a runners up prize from the kids show FBi when I was about 12. It was one of those phone in comps that costs a fortune lol and it was lots of little bits of FBi things like a wallet etc. Didnt win anything after that until I started comping on here and I won theatre tickets. :)

    It was a Taz Mania Goody Bag from the local paper when I was a child. I used to win loads from the paper when I was younger. Don't think anyone entered it! Always used bright homemade postcards too.

    Since starting comping in 2011, My first prize was a blu-ray player! Great first win and a Blu-ray DVD not long after :) x

  • My first win, on my second day of comping, was a make over and photoshoot worth over £800.

    I think I've probably used all my luck up and will never win again now though.
  • A pringles speaker in December. :p
  • From MSE this was my first win https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3916515

    Notice the closing date? I'm still waiting to receive this =/
  • I remember winning a colouring in competition with Somerfield and some fruit company when I was very small- dad didn't approve as he was an art teacher and didn't agree with children sticking to prescribed colours within the lines and I had done it very neatly :D

    I think from MSE my first win was a Creme Egg beachball, I was so pleased!
