Question for people who have won Currys wishlist

Evening all,

Just a quick question as I'm curious as to whether my choices will affect whether I can win...

1) Did you choose the same/similar wishlist each time?
2) Did you have a console on the wishlist you won?

Currently I enter the same/similar items each time:

- External HDD
- Vacuum Cleaner (varies between which models come up)
- Mixer (usually the goldie-coloured one, but varies between which models come up)
- PS4
- HP Laptop

Would love to win and congrats to you all that have so far :j

Thanks for helping :beer:

  • I haven't won but I'm equally curious as to whether any winners have a next gen console on their list.

    Maybe I'm cynical but I wouldn't have thought they want to be giving too many of those away right now - unless they are being given them as promo items from Microsoft and Sony (even promo consoles can be added into sales figures ;))

    Typically those are the two things I REALLY want as well :D

    He actually had a PS4 and an Xbox one on the list

    Someone on here won two laptops with their choices and went for the more expensive prizes :)
    I've picked the same things each entry as that's what I would like to win.
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    I haven't won on it yet but I normally put similar / same choices each time. There is about 6 or 7 high value items I really would like and I always choose 4 from these. I always choose the same laptop each time for my eldest son as he'd really love it; for hubby and other two sons I vary between the other items on my "love to win" list, and for me I always choose something of lower value either a kettle, toaster or removable HDD.

    I didn't realise that you could 'swipe' the gifts along to see more so only picked from the ones on show, luckily what I got was probably what I would have chosen anyway.

    I find myself picking different things each time.

    Today I picked the Actifry, Kitchen Aid kettle, AEG cordless Hoover, Xbox one, the touchscreen laptop and any of the iPods :) Threw in the odd tv, soundbar or steam mop as well :rotfl:
    Can't think of anything smart to put here...

    I always try and get the same things each time (Xbox One, vacuum cleaner, galaxy tablet thing, coffee maker and the HP laptop) - just because those are the things I really would love to win (hint, hint Currys!) ;)
    Thanks to all posters :A

    Me too, I've stopped doing different ones each time.
    My current list is PS4, Bose sound bar, Touch screen laptop, Kitchaid Mixer and a Dyson vac.
    I doubt that I've got a hope of winning but it's worth a try!

    I pick pretty much the same kinds of things, a TV, IPad mini, Ipod, laptop, I will then pick another TV or IPod

    I'm a winner :D, I won from my entry 8th November, hadn't realised myself that the new consoles were on there or would have selected the XBox 1 for DS.
    What I will say is whatever you select in relation to value makes no difference, it is genuinely a random draw. Pick prizes for £50 or go for the max £350 for all (which is what I did) am a generous person lol. My wishlist was pretty similar but not identical throughout.
    My prizes arrived yesterday, and is my best win ever ever, and rather than an XBox 1, my DS is mesmerized by the Dyson I got for myself, but am thrilled as I have a lovely gleaming stair carpet and not moved from my chair xx
    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.
