So there's a lot of posts about 'droughts' and 'bad year for comping'. Can be demotivating for many. So to balance, I thought i'd ask about Hot Streaks.
What have been people's best Hot Streak - like best week where everything seemed to land and the wins just keep on coming.
I've just had an AMAZING week, my best yet which has influenced this thought process.

wow that's fantastic, you have the same chance of winning each comp everytime but the odds are in your favour - pass some luck my way as I've never won
(on a lighter note I think you should buy a lucky dip on the lottery!) 0 -

Haha - cheers. Yeah it's been an unbelievable week. Couldn't believe when they just kept coming. My luck has to be stopping now, surely...
As for the lottery - I did put one on for Saturday there, and played most of their hourly twitter giveaway but no luck there.
Still, no complaints here.
Wishing you all luck (I've unlocked my basement and let the comping fairy out!)0 -
I once had a phone call to tell me I'd won a 42" TV then an hour later I had another phone call to tell me I'd won a 10 night holiday to America. That was a good day!0

September last year she was generous to me I won 2 night stay in Isle of wight, 3 night stay in Scotland, DVD player and an iPod Nano.0

Nice. My best day was back in June. On the way home, I got an email saying I won a Froothie juicer (like a Vitamix and worth £430). Got home to a letter with a family ticket to the circus. Then checked Facebook to find a message about a win of a £550 Weber BBQ.0 -
