Ive wondered sometimes,
these so-called blogs that compers seem to be setting up constantly nowadays, when they run comps do (BIG prizes only) they basically 'give' it to one of their friends etc.. (random.org etc can just be re-drawn until that blogger gets her friends name etc.. on there so it doesnt look funny)?

You just have to hope they don't same as every comp we enter who knows if people actually randomly pick a winner or choose friends

Also wondered, if you won every competition you ever entered.

From now on you win everything you enter. I mean… what would you do :P

I wonder what happens to our postal entries after the comp is drawn?

Does someone sit shredding them, after cutting off the stamps for charity?

Yes, I prefer to SEE a the winner's name in the rafflecoper - some rafflecopters don't show the winner's name so it makes you think if the blogger chose the winner rather than the rafflecopter via random draw?

I agree with this, I bookmark and go back and check to see if I have won. Disappointing

Oooo Question:

With smooth radio competitions, when it says 'Smooth Radio London' in the competition title, does that mean only people who live in London can enter or can little ole Welsh me enter too?

As far as I know they are open to all in the UK.

I am not in London & have won comps via Smooth London.

eg on this the comp terms link to the main terms which read:

In order to make a valid entry into a Competition you must enter as an individual using your legal name and make only one entry per Competition, unless the Specific Rules allow you to make multiple entries. You may only enter a competition if you are a resident of the United Kingdom or Isle of Man.

On a lighthearted note - has anyone ever won a Dave Lackie Twitter competition? I must have retweeted a zillion of his musings on the various wonders of bits of make up or perfume that I can't afford and frankly I'm bored of it now!

I'm sure that is missing a comma or two?
