Longest comping drought?

Hi all,
I am just curious what the longest amount of time is that regular compers have gone without winning a comp. Question mostly aimed at compers who enter a large number of comps per day or most days.

I would not say I enter a large amount but in the 8 years from Dec 2009 the only month I did not win* at least 1 prize was May 2014.
(*I do not count a win until receiving a prize)0 -
I'm currently on 7 months since my last win and I am a daily comper. This isn't the first time I've gone 7 months without a win either - hopefully I don't make it to 8 months.0

I think my last proper win, other than the free bottle of ribena was back in December!A big thank you to all those who post on the forum and make it a worthwhile place!!!:j0

I think my longest was 6-7 months long. Even the advents didn't help.2018 wins-12wins0

So far so good. Started properly in Feb 2016 after dabbling a bit for a year or two. First win came early March of that year and have had multiple wins every month since then with the exception of May 2016. Slow year this year though with fewer prizes although I've had some lovely ones.0

I enter daily & my last win was in October! Worst year in all my 10+ years of comping.
I'm tempted to give up but keep telling myself a win maybe just around the corner!0 -
My proper win was like an year ago. I did win small prizes but nothing of good value.
I enter most of the comps on daily basis. This is my longest ever drought season.Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing0 -
I've gone more than a year without winning anything, while entering a minimum of 100 a day, with many days 300-500+. A good year for me is a small win every 2 to 4 months and a bad year is no wins at all (obviously!
).
