not ever won a thing!

  • Started around Easter time, won trainers, 5 DVD's, tickets to three food festivals in London, tickets to Spirit of Summer at Olympia and a meal for four in London. Nothing of huge value but it's great when a DVD drops through the door instead of a bill. I try to enter any that I would like to win on a daily basis - on average about 50 a day and I comp whilst watching tv or when I have nothing else to do. Prize value comes to £350 now - surprising how a few little wins add up. Think it's worth keeping going as your luck could change.

    I do between 30 and 50 a day, i win a few doing slogans, captions and entering my cute doggy. If its a random draw I dont win much but have a few. Try doing the effort ones i find them easier to win on, good luck x

    I've been comping since Jan. I do between 50-100 a day and have never won anything. I enter all sorts from high value to low value. But not everything, I don't enter if I have no use/need/wish for the prize.

    I will give it to the end of the year, if I continue to have no luck I'll give up. It's a lot of time and effort for zero return.

    And given the sheer amount of spam email and marketing calls I now get (I can only assume this comes from comps that ask for a phone number even though I tick the opt out), it's actually becoming a hassle.

    Might sound like a moan, it's not really because I'm fully aware it's the luck of the draw so I'm not complaining as such. But as I said, spending hours a day doing something for a year and getting zero in return is just a pointless waste of time. So I'll just move on to a different 'hobby'.
