Been very lucky, won lots of small prizes (DVDs, Toys, Memory Stick etc.) and 2 really nice trips out - A family ticket to Wrestlemania Live & VIP box at the races.


Top of my wish list... a holiday or ipad as I want both but can afford neither!


Good Luck Newbie!

It will be 2 years for me in August, can't believe how the time as flown, I started comping because I didn't have any real hobbies, I'd just bought an iPad and I'd been diagnosed with depression.

I find it helps me to unwind at the end of the day and gives me a goal to focus on, when the wins started to come through it started paying for its self.

I've had some lovely wins including a flat screen TV, a camera, show tickets, books, make up and just recently a small cash win, I'm still trying for that holiday and ITV win but I know it will come through when it's ready!

Advice I would give to anyone fancying giving it a go is keep at it every day even if it's only 10 minutes and don't stress about keeping up with the comps, your going to miss some but it doesn't matter there's always more posted everyday which are probably better prizes, and remember it's a hobbies and a game of chance which is free to do x

Thinking back, about 20 years or so! First win was an Easter Egg prize from The Funday Times section of The Sunday Times newspaper. I've been very lucky with all kinds of things over the years, especially after joining MSE.

Only since August last year, but I have been really lucky to have won some brilliant prizes since then, a few of which are on my siggy

I average at least 1-2 prizes a month. I enter loads (but only prizes I would like to have or are useful to myself and family) and then forget about them! But it's always nice when that winning email/call comes through or when the postman knocks with a parcel!

on and off for about 5 years, when I am entering quite a lot it's clear to see the wins are more often.
