    The first article appeared in the local Nottingham paper last week, closely followed by the Daily Mail article.

    http://www.nottinghampost.com/luckiest-woman-Britain/story-28862474-detail/story.html

    It details where some of the past wins were from- many would be lower entry numbers.

    I have no issue with new compers, it's a good fun hobby that has many plus points and it can help give you extras in life.

    What my issue is, by people doing stories like this people, some who are desperate, see comping as a get rich quick scheme.

    They expect, ipads,ps4s and cash to wing it's way within days and that's not how it works.

    There is much time effort and devotion needed to get anything.

    There is no magic formula, it is luck luck luck and perseverance.

    Where are the articles: "I do 4000+ comps month after month and got nothing over a tenner".......as that's more reality than the stories the paper publishes.

    I would have thought a lot of new people would give up after a month of two when they don't get the results they want. You do have to treat it as a bit of fun with the odd surprise bonus.

    I saw this earlier and almost gasped at the 30-50 comps per day! I wonder if she states this amount in order to hide how many she's really doing. You'd have to be extrememly lucky to win lot of prizes, by only doing that amount.

    I thought the condom prize was funny - even family planning clinics are a lot more generous that that! :D
