Has anyone won a twitter competition without...

Does anyone ever win because of those endless copy and paste manual retweets?

Copying and pasting a tweet doesn't count as a Retweet. I presume that is what you mean?

I sometimes post random non competition tweets eg about football or what is happening in the world. That way my Twitter feed isn't full of retweets of competitions

That was the old way of retweeting before the retweet button was invented (Twitter dinosaur here). I still do the old way too!

Unlike Facebook I've rarely seen begging replies on twitter. There are a lot of replies but they're usually things like great prize, thanks for the comp etc. I rarely win on fb or twitter and might give those up soon anyway but the couple of times i did I just liked and retweeted.

Over 6000 thousand tweets and I haven't won ONE competition on Twitter I keep trying to though because it's so easy and quick! No sob stories for me either. They make me cringe tbh.

I'm not sure anyone would actually admit to it on here, even if they had used one

I just do what the tweet asks of me, but occasionally I'll also throw in a reply....Like today I entered one for a sports bra and commented that i could do with a new one after a major wardrobe malfunction doing burpees...Not because i think it might give me more chance of winning, but because it's true. Also i think it helps them to see my account is 'human' and not someone using some sort of bot.
Or if the prize is something i really badly want i might ask for more info (in case i make a purchase later)
I've been comping for years on Twitter though and only won twice and they were a long time ago now.

Had 3 wins on Twitter last month, i usually just retweet unless instructed otherwise, and that's it. Sometimes i throw in a reply, no sob stories though. Does it help? no idea. Don't think it hurts to add a human touch though, feels a bit robotic just hitting retweet.

I have won a few twitter competitions and usually just RT and like, maybe now and again a little comment but not begging, which I find there are not that many on twitter anyway. My twitter account is really just for competitions but I still won a few. Ok considering how may 10 of thousands RT I have done it's not a lot but that is comping
