Is there any way to improve your luck? I think the only thing I could ever win would be if I was the only person who entered! I'm trying to interact on the board say thank you and even help people I know but I think I might be able to do more

hi & welcome :wave:
just keep entering whatever you hope to win,
I always think if you believe you're going to be lucky
you will be & I always thank the comping fairy even if having a
bit of a dry spell so she doesn't think I only thank her when I
do win
lots of good luck & have fun entering :jplease be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly.

I wish I could offer you some help or wise advice but unfortunately sometimes we just have to get through these things and trust that eventually it will get better. One of our fellow compers has a signature that says 'everything has a happy ending so if you're not happy it's not ended yet' - I like that.
Last year I got out of work early on New years eve - I rushed home only to be greeted by the news that one of my oldest friends had died, I had no idea what to do with myself or how to find any hope in the world, it all seemed so unfair. This is when I started comping - it's only a small thing but keeps my mind occupied on difficult days and has given me surprises and experiences I wouldn't have had.
It will get better, I promise - sending you hugs, Stina0 -
Nah my luck's been rubbish this year

Perseverance/patience is the only way! The more you enter, the more likely you are too win sooner!

The foot of a white rabbit, a four leaf clover, a horseshoe and a lump of coal to be taken once a day with a glass of rainbow juice.Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.
Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

weve not had the best of years ( well 18 months) in that time my OH's mum and both grans have passed away from cancer & my great gran, my dad is having extensive testing to find out whats wrong with him, my OH has had his own struggles which arnt for me to publicise, so weve had our share of bad luck recently
however, on here im lucky (ish) i generally get 2-3 small wins a week, before i started really getting into it recently i never won things..
when you enter you have to remember the competitions may not be ending for weeks or even months after you entered, so noones won them yet, and thousands of people go in for bigger competitions, so it really is pure chance, the more you enter the higher your chances are, dont enter things multiple times as you will be disqualifying yourself, enter and forget.0 -
I've had 10 failed job interviews in 3 months, but seem to be doing pretty well with wins. It's a shame I can't transfer my luck, really!!!0
