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

    Can't remember the last time i paid to attend the theatre.

    Yeah, me too actually. I think that is because they are the prize offered most often by local comps here and the odds of winning are generally better.

    I won, I won, I won! I've been Money Tipped!
    its books for me, over 80 last year and 40+ this year so far, its great as i share them with family then donate them for a local hospital to raise funds, once we have all read them.

    Mine is holidays - I won 3 longhaul holidays in 12 months! BUT that's because that's the type of competition that I always enter, I only enter for holidays, cash, vouchers or any item that I need in my house. I never enter for food (but I do for wine lol) and I don't enter any for tickets, or toys etc.

    With the holidays, 2 of them required a lot of effort but I'd rather spend my time putting effort into a competition that I really want to win, than spend the same amount of time entering 100 competitions for things I don't want. Does that make sense?

    Books for me too, over 30 already this year and lots of make up & lotions and potions :)

    Had some nice bigger wins too though ;)

    I would say the thing I've won most is vouchers, but tbh I haven't had that many wins of anything (particularly not lately :( ) so I'd be ecstatic with any win!

    I seem to win a lot of childrens/toddlers toys. Have boxes of them. Take them up to local childrens ward once a year if not sold.
    August-September 2017: Lots of stuff :)

    Premieres, have been to quite a few and trotted down the red carpet with the stars :rotfl: I can get to Leicester Square etc quite easily, I think entrant numbers are low so more chance of me winning :j

  • For me it is the ones where there have been a lot of prizes to give away. For once, (apart from my £150 cheque), it would be nice to beat the odds and win something thousands of people have entered for.
  • Books and cereal are the only things I win more than once. Oh except this year I've won two electric toothbrushes :)

    May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx
