Does anyone ever win Country Living comps?

Just wondering if anyone ever wins those seemingly ridiculous 'pick 3 numbers and see if they match' comps on Country Living site.

The odds of winning those must be millions to 1 compared to normal entry methods!

    For this reason, I never enter them.

    If they are the same as the ones on "life, death, prizes" they run until won, odds on a couple from there were approx 64,000/1 for a small prize and 2,406,100/1 for a £300 voucher.

    If a click to win prize was on 100 sites and only entered by 10,000 people per site that is 1,000,000 entries a day and 60,000,000 entries in the 2 months they often run for.
  • Yes I won on Country Living this month, a set of kitchen knives. It was a proper comp with a question and not one of those pick three numbers things, I never do those because of the ludicrous odds of winning.
  • nope - avoid those !
