this will result in what usually happens with these articles-lots of people entering and then posting "why aren't I winning?" threads.

'If you enter 10 competitions every single day, sooner or later you will win.'

I guess this was for blog publicity? The only reason I say that is because it seems the blog / server has crashed from the extra traffic maybe?

I would love to win from 10 a day!

What I don't understand is how someone can have the Christmas tree up with all the presents under it when it is only November. Surely they would be all tatty and groped at by that kid by Christmas.

I'd not enter a competition where I couldn't benefit from the prize. The odds are usually so high anyway, there's no point wasting your time.

Looking at her list of prizes there's nothing of interest to me there.

Even she says "'I'm also really careful to only enter something I'd actually want to win. There's just no point if you have no use for the prize. " - and for me I'm not interested in most prizes, I've no room/use for them - and many prizes involve spending (e.g. the festival you'd have to get there and buy a tent etc; the cookery school you'd have to get there, so transport cost).

Be prepared for "I have entered 10 competitions and not won"

At least she says not to enter for things you don't want as other may want it :T

Oh okay. As they were talking about this year's presents I assumed that was them under the tree.

I made a comment under the article and said it was a lie, I enter loads of comps and hardly win anything.

That's what I thought too, I don't enter for anything if it's going to cost me money to use it.

People in the comments are saying they win loads too. These are the people that are winning all the prizes when we are not.
