    My first ever win was a Beyonce CD from entering a Glamour magazine comp that I found while lurking around their website, I wasn't a 'comper' then and didn't really believe people won competitions.

    I was so excited with my new found luck I wanted to enter more and I found MSE :D I've been comping on and off since 2011 now and I love it (although more off than on) it's a brilliant hobby you can pick up and leave off

  • First ever win was cosmetic lenses back in 2002/03. First ever MSE wins were a Stella Artois Chalice in my first month and then £200 Asda vouchers in my second month of comping. :)

    Hello everyone

    I'm new to comping. I know not to expect to win, but I can't help wondering if and when it will happen. Part of the thrill of comping I guess.

    So, just for fun-
    How long were you comping before your first win?
    What did you win?

    I imagine everyone remembers their first win, and it's lovely to hear other people's stories.

    With much thanks to a great community

    Welcome to the world of comping. I cannot remember my first win, but I have been entering competitions on and off for over 30 years.

    Hi I have been comping since jan so only a few months, a few weeks ago i won a floorfillers cd and a packet of stabilo pens in the same week and then the other day i got an email to say i have won a set of katie price perfumes.

    Three small wins so far but still very happy with my wins.

    Good luck and hope you are lucky xx
  • My first online win was a DVD player in the days when they cost about £500 I think that set the bug off.
