Sometimes I'm going through my emails and a thought enters my head that I have a winning email today, and there before my eyes is a WEM.

Other times I enter a comp and think I have a bloody good chance of wining that one, and lo and behold, I've won that very comp. :D

Anyone else have these little prems?

    Yes, I do too!

    Sometimes sit there thinking I can "feel" a WEM on its way somewhere in the ether, then there it is in my inbox.

    I love a good premonition, me... :D

    the reason you get wem's is the amount you enter, nothing more than that.
  • Lol no, I log in to my email every day all hopeful thinking, "Bet I've won today..." Think it's fair to say at least 9 times out of 10, I haven't!

    Now, I am a glass half full kind of thinker, I never think I'm going to win anything, so when a positive thought of some possible good fortune pops into my head , I'm really quite shocked :D

    I totally agree with you on that, It's all to do with odds init, I'm not suggesting this makes a person more likely to win, but that sometimes you can get a kind of gut feeling that something good is a coming your way.
