How many tweets before you won something?

Options
Hey, just thought it would be interesting to see how many tweets you've done before winning? I've just started doing twitter comps about 2 weeks now, I have 693 tweets, and hoping for a win soon

    I don't know exactly, but I have 70,000 tweets and I reckon that I get a prize from twitter between 1000 and 2000 tweets roughly. Mind you, some of these are just little things like a bar of chocolate, or a fish slice, not big wins.

    Good luck. It only takes one tweet to win.

    I've no idea - and with 19,300 tweets I'm not about to look back through!

    When I first started using Twitter, several years ago, my win rate was quite good - however Twitter is a lot more popular now and the odds are massively reduced.
    :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j

    do you think it matters how many followers you have? I've only got 30 as I only use twitter for comps. Maybe they like to give prizes to those who have a bigger following? (If anyone wants to follow me I'm 86_gemz) :-)

    I don't think follower numbers matter as the draws are usually ( and hopefully) random - i only have 37 followers and i reckon about half those are companies :D
  • I have stopped entering them now unless it is something amazing,12500 tweets and about 6 wins,toothpaste,bar of chocolate,some soap,hair products, a calendar, a mug,
    Thanks To Everyone Who Posts :beer:
  • I've also scaled back my Twitter entries as I was finding myself too close to the limit of people you can follow and going through deleting them is time I could spend doing something productive. Now I only enter the ones I'd really like to win - and most of those are Dave Lackie ones. Has anyone here ever won anything of his?
