    Hope you veterans of the comping world won’t hate me for this....

    A couple of weeks ago I had a bit of spare time and read the advice given on here about postal entries for competitions.

    With no expectations of success whatever I sent off 4 entries to ITV postal cash draws.

    Got a phone call on Valentines Day.....I was gobsmacked to be told I have won a large cash sum!!!

    I’d be embarrassed to say how much but it’s in the 5 figures.

    So I just wanted to share my news and say it is possible to win at your first try and yes postal entries can be winners.

    Wishing all of you some of my incredible luck

    In my case no skill involved I only had to send my name and phone number!

    I’m going to treat some of my loved ones a bit, then possibly buy a better car.
    There have been hard Financial Times in the past when such a sum would have been used for debts.....luckily Now I can use it for something nice.

    I hope you get lucky too Yvette x

    Congrats a fab win, welcome to the ITV winners club,
    I won £20k a few years ago, but when they were doing free online entries.

    Enjoy your win :)

    As an Edit, for anyone wondering, I messaged itv a long while back and they do open envelopes and give each entry a number the same as postcodes and phone calls :)
    Thanks to all who post comps :)
