    I've been doing comps for nearly 30 years and have never had a big 10K win! :think: :doh:



    It's the biggest thing I've ever won. I was EXTREMELY lucky! I honestly hadn't won anything for years beforehand, so it just goes to show what happens when you persevere : )

    This is what I was going to post. Is there a 'fish slice winners club' like there used to be an 'ITV winners club'?

    Blu :D

    Pah, the ITV winners club is soooo yesterday ;)

    Your nobody in the comping world until your name is on the "Fish Slice" winners list :rotfl:

    (I'm in the fish slice winners club! :D:D:D:D)

    Never won a holiday - would be my top thing to win. When I say holiday, I mean something abroad. Have won a few weekend or overnight breaks, but I'd love to win a week in the sun!

    (Obviously) never won a car as most of us won't ever be that lucky. Nor a big cash win (okay, did win a grand once on the radio, but I mean an ITV 5-figure win :)

    Never won a BBQ despite thinking I'd have won one years ago by now lol!

    Been at it 8 years or so.

    Also wish it could go back to the good ol' days :( So hard to win now, it's taken loads of the fun out of it.
    2024 wins: *must start comping again!*

    ^^ oh yeah, I've never actually won a holiday, nor even so much as a night in a hotel!

    Haven't won a car either but then I think in 5 years of comping I might have entered maybe 5 comps to win one so hardly surprising.

    I think it would take hundreds of pages to list all items I have not won but as far as sites go I have not had a prize from Shortlist magazine or TV choice.

    Yes I have been doing comps for a while but never have won a magazine (like CHAT, Take a Break etc) comp. I wonder postal entry form people from magazine has a better chance to win than online entry people???

    No, it's no different apart from postal costing about £25 a year per magazine.
