HI guys,
after a few years of break im restarting to enter comps again, one thing i never bothered with though was the mag dailies.
I just wondered if any of you have been successful with them? and how often do you enter, every day? just once? etc
I'm just trying to work out if its worth the time, i know your are never guaranteed to win anything, im just trying to suss out if its like entering normal comps or more on the lines of entering the lottery haha!
Thanks for any input!

I do them.
I probably enter around half of those available and I enter most days.
This year, I have probably won around once a month on average. Mostly small prizes like a book and a DVD, but also tickets for shows that are on tour, including visiting my local theatre and some shoes.
In terms of it is worth the time, it depends on how much you value your time. It would be more financially lucrative if I spent the time doing a second part time job, but entering them is something I can do in my lunch break or when I am watching tv, which to me is a lot more enjoyable than taking on a second job. It is also the hope/thrill that you might win one of the big prizes, like a new bathroom that are on offer and someone has to win.
Just enter what you can enter when you have the time. If it ceases to be enjoyable and becomes a chore, then it is not really a hobby.
Good luck.
ETA - just worked out, I reckon the return per hour is something like £1 per hour spent doing them, so much more financially worthwhile to do a second job, even at minimum wage. Haha.0
