Has anyone won a twitter competition without...

Writing a message about why you're so deserving of winning?! Is it enough simply to like and retweet?

    If it needs a follow and retweet that's what I do, if it wants more than that I probably don't bother to enter, I have won a few times doing this.

    I have never done a 'begging' entry, on TW! Just follow / like / RT as required..
    breathe in, breathe out- You're alive! Everything else is a bonus, right? RIGHT??

    Pleased to hear it - I'm still grateful to you for winning a netbook from robinsons all those years ago!

    Just follow, RT and if it asks answer the question (usually it's something like " Is the name of our new product A) B) or C)?) or asks me to link to the product I would like to win. I don't tag because I don't have friends who are on Twitter. Not enough characters for a sob story on twitter!

    I usually do what is asked - Follow, Retweet, Like and answer the question if there is one.

    I know some people do not like to give prizes to competition accounts, unfortunately that is what most of my Twitter is, not all of it, but mostly competitions. So if I am selected they may redraw another winner, without me knowing.
    So many people enter Twitter competitions as they are simple to enter, so the chances are fairly low. I've won 2 Twitter competitions out of around 5000 competitions, but I can't complain.
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.
  • Does anyone ever win because of those endless copy and paste manual retweets?
  • I've never done a sob story on twitter, I just follow and RT. Won a few times on Twitter but not frequently.
    I just enter and forget...hoping to win something! :)
