Twitter comps, anyone ever win?

Hi,
Apologies if this has been asked before, but for those that enter twitter competitions..have you ever won them. I seem to have entered thousands and never won. Perhaps just the luck of the draw. I wondered if perhaps the people drawing the comps see a load of competition re-tweets in peoples post histories and pick again.
I just wondered if i've had a lot of bad luck or if everyone is in the same boat.
Thanks

  • You stand a better chance if you have lots of followers and tweet more than once but various people have tested it out and concluded there is no fair way to conduct a twitter competition.
  • I joined about 5-6 weeks ago and have won 3 times so far. tickets to a party in London from Glamour Mag uk a couple of weeks back and twice last week - £25 love2shop vouchers from Glorious Food page and £200 b&q vouchers from Axa home insurance page. keep at it :) x
  • I've entered thousands too but never won. Had lots of entries retweeted by the competition owner, especially when I've left a comment but this hasn't helped me either.
    I would give up on it but they only take a second to enter so keep plodding on just in case!
    Thanks to all who post here:beer:
  • That's what keeps me doing them, that they take a second, so no real effort. I've had responses re-tweeted and Favorited too, half expecting to then win, but no.

    I think i win more on twitter than anywhere, i rarely win on facebook, maybe i enter more on twitter though! i won a kenwood K-mix stand mixer in december, i've won flights, hampers, lots of books, tools and perfume and i was notified of my australia win on twitter, although that was on facebook too,

    Twitter is a bit of a mixed bag for me. I'll have one or two wins in quick succession, then perhaps nothing for a few months.
    Some peeps seem to do very well on them, and others never seem to do anything on them.
    It's just one of those things I think. I just keep plugging away at them hoping I'll be lucky next time.
    Your time will come, think positively and all that :)
    Be Lucky :)
    BEST EVER WINS WON IN ORDER (so far) = Sony Camcorder, 32" lcd telly, micro ipod hifi, Ipod Nano, Playstation 3, Andrex Jackpup, Holiday to USA, nintendo wii, Liverpool vs Everton tickets, £250 Reward Your thirst, £500 Pepsi, p&o rotterdam trip, perfume hamper, Dr Who stamp set, steam cleaner.

    comping = nowt more thrillin' than winnin':T :j
  • ive won 4 times on twitter and only once on fb. I find twitter easier to enter and can get more done. It really is the luck of the draw. just keep plugging at it and something will come along when you least expect it. I had 2 of mine couple weeks ago when i was having a bad day. Soon cheered me up cos my Cath kidston mugs are taking pride of place in my kitchen :D
    New start.... positive vibes

    been comping for years enter all twitter comps and all i won was a soap about 3 and a half years bk, i don't get it lol x

  • I used to do really well on twitter but wins seem to have died off in the last few months, not sure if there's more people entering or just bad luck! But it's probably my favourite way of entering as I'm on twitter a lot anyways :)
    Smile :)
