Is it getting harder to win??

is it getting harder or is it just me, I had two wins in August a bag and some Elbow tickets and nothing yet for September and a few losing e mails. I just got a losing email saying that I hadnt won a furby that Argos were giving away, there were loads to give away. I am just finding it harder and wondered if others felt the same. I did well last year and quite good the beginning of this year but since June it has all dried up!

I think it is getting harder to win than in the past, More people know about competitions now and are getting involved. I enter as much as I can, and I;m very grateful to all the posters.

best of luck to all, I've not had too many wins this year but I keep plodding on. I swear I'm addicted

I am one of the "stay at home" people. To be precise I live in sheltered housing and rarely go out. I have five grandchildren and am not well enough to work to buy them presents so I try to win things for them and other family members. Today one of my grandsons is three years old and I won Megabloks for him.I would hate to think this is resented and I always show my genuine appreciation to OPs.

This wasn't a comment to the genuine 'stay at home' people

I have noticed that my wins have been a bit thin on the ground lately. I get a lot less ticketed events too, I used to be able to go out at least once a month but now I have to actually pay if I want to go out :eek:

Perhaps we should have a 1 out 1 in system for the forum :rotfl:

OK sax11 I think I know what you mean.

I am a stay at home person too and yes my dog has entered a few and won, maybe I should get her to do them instead of me she might have more luck! I really dont have time to comp all day though and do about 40 per day and used to win about 4 a month, things have deffiantly changed in the last few months! I will just plod on and see what happens!:undecided

Definately getting harder to win. I've had my quietest 2 months since records began. Mind you there are a lot more prizes being offered that I wouldn't want to win and therefore haven't entered so perhaps that could account for some of it.

I've definitely noticed a change this year. Last year I won something of high-ish value (£100+) most months, including an iPad mini, several lots of vouchers etc. This year, aside from a £100 prepaid Visa, I don't think I've won any one prize worth more than £20. And rather than a steady stream of wins at around one a week like last year, I'm now struggling to hit one or two a month.
Like OP, nothing yet for September, and my August wins are in my signature so you can see I didn't win anything much then either!
I keep telling myself law of averages says it can't ALWAYS be someone else that wins!! Keeping fingers crossed!

I do wonder sometimes if companies are running competitions via Facebook and Twitter these days rather than via their own websites.

August this year has been my best month ever, so I'm not really sure what I think to this really!
