has anybody won the C2W's recently?

Just curious if anyone's won anything recently, doing some research!

Not me... I haven't done them every day, though. Just when I can be bothered, it's a bit of a pain!

From the winners list on Thats Life (which just means the competition was on there not that that was the entry route used) I noticed these 2 people have both won 2 competitions out of the last 42 (first name, initial and county)

Win an Evertop cleaning robot
Win a £50 Primark voucher

Win a PureAire Basic Air Purifier
Win Autoglym Bodywork, Wheels & Interior

and by coincidence their surnames both start with the same initial and they are from the same county

Likely multiple wins by other people include

Win a copy of VERSAILLES on DVD
WIN A QUIET PLACE ON BLU-RAY

Win a Blu-ray copy and poster of BEAST
Win a waterproof case for your tablet

Win a Blu-ray copy and poster of BEAST
WIN A QUIET PLACE ON BLU-RAY

And the clear leader with 5 wins from 42 competitions (they also won 3 of the next 18 to give them 8 wins from 60 competitions)

Win Whitefurze 50L bin
Win a £75 Sanctuary Bathroom Treats Hamper
Win a Beldray Multi-Portion 5-in-1 Grill
Win £40 to spend online at Bloom & Wild
Win a CouchCoaster

mjm, think I was looking at the same thing as you

I have won 5 times in August for the C2Ws - I enter every possible day for the comps i want to win via the maximum amount of entry routes. My computer system is optimised to run as efficiently as quickly as possible allowing me to open 80+ tabs at a time, I then click through all entry routes. I always enter when there is less web traffic to the C2W sites and this seems to enhance my chance of winning - At the end of the day it is just sheer luck that i have won 5 c2ws in the space of a month......

sleepyjones

hmm. Call me a sore loser but I don't buy it.

Someone won 16 competitions, someone else won 14 in the last month ... Statistically, that is impossible ... If that's down to luck then I'd go buy a lottery ticket 'cause it's a done deal.

80+ browser tabs on the C2W'S seems unlikely to me too, what system do you have and what browser do you use?

Charliebear

Home built system running chrome .. fast broadband average connection speed of around 300mbps ... Nothing is ever impossible

Thanks for taking the time to reply to this thread Charliebear. I think the c2ws are like goodreads it's the time you enter and how savvy you are with technology. I don't look at winners so this thread has been demoralizing but I'm not giving up yet as it only takes one entry to win

To enter all of the competitions on every site will literally take you about 10+ hours a day (probably more with the Videos now). So to win 16 competitions in 4 weeks you would either need to spend 10+ hours every day entering everything or choosing say 20 competitions and entering them on every site, every day ... which will still take around a good few hours and being lucky enough to win most of them.

There's no way, someone's using software or a Python script or something to enter. I don't buy that you could win that many and account it to sheer luck.
I'm tempted to go back a few more months and see exactly how many these serial winners are winning over the course of a year.

I do not like daily/multiple entry competitions (unless the prize is daily) and I do not like multiple entry routes for just one prize, so I really do not like daily entry across multiple sites for one prize - If I made just 6,000 of the possible entries for a £500 prize and won it, the value of each entry would be less than 9p.
So in the same way I would not enter a competition for a chance to win 9p I wouldn't make multiple entries so the possible return on each entry was 9p (in many cases the value is much lower than 9p).

I did enter a few of them when many were on 3 or less sites (1 site for a prize worth £3,000) and there were lots of prizes worth over £500 - won a prize worth £699 with about 6 entries so worth about £116 an entry. I won 2 competitions twice (got them to redraw the extra wins) and won several others all with less than 20 entries each but even then the winning entries were probably only worth a £5 a time.
