Hi

I was wondering if anyone has had any big wins from ITV such as Good morning, CHannel 5 Gadget Show etc. I have just started entering them and wondered if anyone has won and whether it was text or postcard and if they were called up???

Apologies noticed there is already a post called ITV WINNERS

    You have as much chance with a correctly received postal entry as any of the other ITV entry routes, just remember they have well over 1,000,000 entries a week so the odds are very slim and other "bets" can offer a better chance for just the value of a stamp - the 49's for instance where the chances of winning the top prize is better than 318,000 to 1 returns £75,000 for 50p.

    I used to maintain a thread cataloging all the big wins on those comps when they were free online. I only managed to keep it up for a few months as the wins were so frequent and I went on holiday! I should have passed the thread to someone else to maintain but it never happened. MSErs then were getting about half of all the big prizes.

    Now I confess to being a heavy postal entrant (for a hobby) and have not had a bite in upwards of six months.

    My only win was one of the first Dickinson shows to run a comp based on the auction value of items in the show - so we only won about £840! I could really use £250k to be honest, and that's not greed just practical necessity nowadays.
