  • Nothing for me hoping my 1st win will happen soon, started comping at the beginning of August, entering about 50 a day so fingers crossed for next month.

    Well done winners :-)
  • Ive been entering these competitions all year, probably about ten per day, and I've never won once :( feels a little disheartening seeing everyone winning several prizes each month....where am I going wrong?


    Never give up hope , but you need to enter a lot more than ten a day.
    Try the comps with a large number of smaller prizes.

    I've been very lucky and won some lovely prizes:

    Weekend in Paris, including tickets to a gig of my choice (Cineworld)
    Smoothie cup (Asda)
    Santoro stamp (not sure, probably one of the papercraft magazines)
    Lava lamp kit for my daughter (First News I think)

    We also went away on a weekend that I won a few months ago, in the New Forest, so had a month of definitely appreciating my comping hobby.

    Don't wish to discourage you but I entered just short of 10,000 comps in September and (because of the types of comp I was entering) don't expect to win much, if anything at all :cool:
