Magazine daily instant wins

SparklinDiamond

Hey guys,

I am new to the whole magazine daily scene. And have just started doing all of the prize draw comps, but have just noticed the instant wins where you have to choose 3 numbers. Has anyone ever won on these?

Hi,

I've seen one or two people in IWIWIW say they've won from them, but personally i do not bother.

I was just about to ask the same question, I've been doing the mag daily prize draws for a while now, but only just started with the instant wins and wondered if many people on here had won form them.

No harm in entering but I wouldn't put them ahead of entering anything else (if you don't enter you cannot win) as the odds against winning on most of those are enormous and far worse than any other competition I know of

An iphone 5c 753,570 to 1
A £1,000 cash prize 3,241,791 to 1
A Mini a staggering 45,118,015 to 1

As has been said, if you've got time on your hands and spare entries to use up, why not give it a whirl - but I'm convinced nobody ever wins on them! I think once I put it into the search box on IWIWIW and it brought up a post from about 3 years ago where somebody won ugg boots, but other than that I've never heard of a winner from here at least. Whereas with the prize draws, people are posting about wins most weeks!

With nearly all prize draws or "random moment" instant wins the prizes are actually won.

With these 3 number instant wins if the numbers are not matched by the closing date then no one wins the prize. They may even have insurance to cover themselves against someone winning - (partially based on the odds against winning/expected number of entries and prize value) - that way they know exactly what each competition will cost them and they can offer far higher value prizes than if there was always going to be a winner.
