    I've won a few times. Can't remember when I retweeted. Think I'm going to do an experiment and retweet near the comps end and see if it makes a difference. ;)

    In the last week I've won a 64gb jumpdrive and a £10 pet shop voucher from retweets. Both were retweeted at the begining of the competition period.

    Most Twitter comps use a # for picking up comp entries so when you RT they search for the # a litterally hundreds come up, you just then scroll through for the winner.

    I have over 200,000 tweets and generally only ever tweet the original competition tweet, i had 87 twitter wins last year, 74 the year before and 81 the year befor that. Unless otherwise stated i follow the rule of one entry per person, if it says multiple entries i type my own tweet.
    Best wins 2012 - £1500 Diamond ring; 2013 - £2000 Cash; 2014 - Bathroom makeover; 2015 - £1000 TAB win; 2016 - Michael Kors Watch; 2017 - 5* Trip to India; 2018 - 10 day Canadian Rockies adventure. 2019 - Garden Rattan set
    Thanks to all who post comps :T
  • Interested to know if those that win a lot by retweeting reply to the tweet or just retweet?

    I retweet, my last TW win was just before Christmas and the retweet was an early one out of the 600+ that there were.
