Magazine competitions

I've just started entering the magazine quizzes - I was wondering if people have had much success with these as I know there are usually quite a few prizes?

Thanks!

    hi, not sure which mag quizzes you mean,
    the daily or weekly ones?
    either way I've had success with both on a reg basis
    & if you search I won! I won! I won!
    there's a few in there hth :)

  • Thanks - should have been more specific :p
    I mean the crosswords etc in the magazines - I know a lot of people get random letters turn up from these so I'm hoping every time the postman comes to the door ;)

    I've been entering these every week on every mag for almost 5 years and have not won once on them! Still like you I keep hoping!
  • I won a Bella one 2 years ago, £200. Was very pleased to get that letter :) However I enter them all every week and thats the only win I have had from them in years. If you look in the I won section lots of people win.
    I just enter and forget...hoping to win something! :)
  • I won a cheque for £50 from one of them a couple years ago. I enter practically every single one and that's my only win from those kinds of competitions.
  • Think I've had 4 of those long white envelopes in as many years. Some tickets, a NT membership & 2 cheques £100 & £50. I carry on in hope I must be due another soon.

    Over the years I've had four wins from Real People, two from Radio Times (And know of several other MSErs winning!), one from That's Life, and I'm sure that there have been a few others that slip my mind at the moment.
