How often do you win?

Just curious as to how often people actually win and how much comping they do to win. I do most that are posted on here and seem to get a small win every week or two

    It all depends.
    The amount of competitions I enter vary.
    But I tend to win 2-7 times a month, 4 on average.
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.
  • Previously I would spend an hour or two here and there entering comps and I'd win around 3 things a year.

    Since I've been unemployed I've been spending around 4 or 5 hours each day entering comps and I've won 8 comps this month.
  • I do about 350 (roughly!) a day, including magazine comps, and I win on average about 3 times a week. x

  • I enter 200-300 a day and win about once a month.

    Exactly.
    I don't count how many I enter, I think that time is better spent comping, but I do keep a record of wins. I'm definitely winning less nowadays than I did about 5 years ago.
    Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none.

    An eye for an eye only leads to more blindness.

    I spend about 3 hours a day at it and have won 6 times over 2 years, (5 last year 1 this). I am very fussy about what I enter though - i only enter comps for prizes I'd really like to win for me and my family - never just for stuff to sell because I think that's selfish.


    Those of you who enter 400 a day - where on earth do you find them? Are you entering for everything?! Do you enter the spammy ones?
