Has Anyone Ever Won a Twitter Comp?

  • I have :) I have won quite a few comps on Twitter
  • I have recently won a Lonely Planet book (not arrived yet). I had to post a comment to a question. It was something that had actually happened to me so perhaps it rang true to them.
    I will only enter Twitter comps where you post comments or photos and I enter a few now and then. I always use humour but even that seems to fall flat. The chances of winning an RT comp must be minuscule.
  • I'm a blogger who runs Rafflecopter and Twitter competitions, and while I can't vouch for all my fellow bloggers I can certainly say that I don't deliberately choose other bloggers - Rafflecopter picks a winner randomly and I also use a random tool to pick Twitter winners :)

    I've only entered a handful of Twitter competitions myself over the years but I've actually won two of those! One was local with very few entries and one was for event tickets, so probably also lower entry than for a tangible object.
  • Hi, I'm fairly new to all this and I wondered about Twitter comps. I notice people often tweet the comp poster saying "Great prize, would love to win" etc. as well as follow and retweet. I've done this myself ..but I wondered if it was actually worth doing..does it increase your chance of winning? Or is it completely random? Also..a while ago I set up a second Twitter account just for comping but then stopped using it as worried it would look like a spam account?? So it's not random after all..?! Confused!

    I've been comping for 8/9 years and have only ever won one Twitter comp! On the other hand, I've done fairly well on Facebook ...
    Wins since 2009 = £17,600

    MANY THANKS TO ALL OPS
  • I've won a few times on twitter, more so than Facebook, I've only won on there once

    I do this all the time now. When I first started comping, I literally just retweeted with no comment. Since replying with a short comment, I win regularly. It only takes 2 seconds to leave a comment and can make all the difference.

  • My biggest Twitter win was vaux wash cleaning worth £200, that was only reweet
