    Ninth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    Had a massive total of TWO wins this year - a goodie bag that contained a pen, keyring & a calculator - was from a cruise company & a lot of people thought I'd won a cruise LOL - I wish!
    And a cup cake kit, which will be fun to do with the grand kids.
    Thats it, usually entering over 100 comps a day, but no luck.
    Best of luck to everyone though, because if you aren't in it you aint gonna winnit!

    only won two things this year - a cruise and a guitar :j

    i must admit though compared to some of the numbers being bandied about, i have always been quite selective when it comes to entering competitions. been doing it since 2000. i don't enter to win anything small (books, dvds etc), and i haven't got the time or inclination to enter twitter, instagram, photo, effort or pay comps, and unless i really want the prize i find rafflecopter and gleam comps a bit of a faff

    good luck to everyone :money:

    Best win all time - World Cup Final Trip to Japan :j

    I feel like the poor relation compared to you lot! I've had one win in 3 months but this last few weeks I've got stuck in and am trying for 50 to 60 comps a day so hopefully as the closing dates are reached my wins will start to roll in, at least thats the theory...... I'll let you know!

There are bingo sites that offer big cash, cars, holidays. It may be worth doing something new.

    Headphones, binoculars, £100 cash, two breakfast hampers, coffee machine and a fridge freezer are the quality prizes I have won this year, so it hasn't been a bad year.

    162 prizes - 7, you say, are quality prizes - I wonder what the other 155 were :think: Cheese and fish slices?

    Good luck to you :cool:
