Do you seem to win a certain type of prize a lot?

Options
Just musing on people's winnings over in IWIWIW, and it seems like a few people appear to be very fortunate to win the same type of prize more than once e.g phones and Tvs :)

So I was wondering if you have a certain prize you seem to be very lucky in winning?? :D

    Oh actually, if you count my 'children's book bundle' then, it's about 70. I got 40 children's books in a huge box - probably one of the best things I've ever won! :)

    But I just seem to always have WEMS for books. I wish that the books were 'iPads or holidays' ;) xx

    That is indeed a lot of books, and yes constant WEMS for those would be lovely :D

    I've won loads (well, lots) of theatre tickets.

    Can't remember the last time i paid to attend the theatre.
  • I seem to have a lot of luck with bath products - I have not had to buy anything bath related for myself or my children all year :)

    I seem to be going through batches.

    My first year it was childrens toys / gifts - great for Christmas
    My second year it was electrical
    This year it seems to be big prizes (but much less frequent)

    I have won 4 phones and 3 ipads (2 of which were minis) - I've won a few sets of tickets that were local.

    But I believe in luck - if it's your turn that is ;)
    Thanks to all posters :A
