  • 100-200 is the perfect average in my opinion and after that it just comes down to the luck of the draw so just keep going and be lucky :D

    Some people are lucky and win several things in a day, but that doesn't happen for them every day. So please don't think that there are some people sitting there getting 2-3 wins a day, every day. It just doesn't happen like that.

    All luck of the draw. Wishing you lots of luck! :)
    February wins: Theatre tickets

    I enter about the same amount as you, and I win on average 2-3 times a month, not a day!! Plus that's stuff like boxes of cereal, a tube of moisturiser etc, not all big wins!
    It is all down to luck but the only way you can win is by entering, so keep at it!

    I enter around 300 a day & usually win around 3 or 4 times a week - this month I've won 3 very small prizes - so it's just luck

    Have you tried doing a variety of different comps etc - eg twitter, fb, postal etc? It is just luck of the draw, you dont have to enter hundreds every day. I only enter an average of 30-50 a day (excluding twitter entries) and am happy with my wins, though the bigger wins are eluding me.

    I've been entering since September and haven't won anything so you're doing well!
  • I had a good run, averaging a prize a week, for about 4 months (nothing big), but in the last 12 months I have been lucky to win 1 a month.

    It really is the luck of the draw, but it does get a little depressing when you read about the wins sometimes - on the flip side, at times it can be inspiring too!
