    I usually give it 6 months or so to let others have a go. I'm also doubtful that the prize would be honoured if my name cropped up again so soon, so don't want to waste my time.

    I did win the Cook Italian hamper once though and they made a point of saying in our email correspondence to feel free to enter again straight away which is cool! (I've not won again mind! :) )

    Snap! Oops, cross post.

    I was thinking about that when I won the Belvoir daily last week as I'm pretty sure lightning won't strike twice on that one! I have continued to enter as it should be completely random so I've just the same chance as anyone else but I'll be staggered if I win again.

    On the daily instants twice I have won the main or runner prize then won the reverse within a couple of weeks and nothing for years either side of the wins.

    With weekly comps such as Honeybuns, I would wait about a week before entering again ;)

    I have won twice so far this year with Sunny D- pair of sunny yellow socks and about two months later I won a years supply of sunny D, a significant difference in prize value. They didn't mention anything about winning twice with them or entering/not entering again-but I have only just entered another comp with them (one for a lip stick & one for a baking set) I do decide to let other people have a chance and most of their comps lately have been for things like hats or bottles which I had no interest anyway.

  • Right away. You don't get if you don't try :p

    I won with Pom Bears on their facebook page 2 weeks in a row. It was only Pom Bear toys so nothing of value but still. :)
    I just enter and forget...hoping to win something! :)
