Newbie here.
On reading the forums its obvious that doing comps that need a bit of effort stand a better chance of winning than the just enter your details type.
My question is how do people respond to the type of question that asks what would you do if you won xxx?
Do we tell the truth ...or make up a story about how it would help with some problem or do we give witty responses or surely not...save the world type answers
Any help much appreciated

You always need to read the Ts & Cs of this type of competition, almost all say 'winner chosen at random'.I’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Competition Time, Site Feedback and Marriage, Relationships and Families boards. If you need any help on these boards, do let me know. Please note that Ambassadors are not moderators. Any posts you spot in breach of the Forum Rules should be reported via the report button, or by emailing forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com All views are my own and not the official line of Money Saving Expert.

I once entered a competition in a rush as it was the closing date and wrote a really carp answer to that very question. I won a newly released phone and a year of paid contract.
Definitely random!Worse things will have happened in the world today..."The only thing that really matters, it to love and to be loved."0 -

I guess if it's a judged competition then you need to try and make it funny or interesting ... I wouldn't say "I want to win this holiday to Thailand because I've always wanted to go there" and definitely not "I want to win this holiday to Thailand because my son has cancer and only has 2 years left, this would be amazing for him" ... need to make it stand out from the rest of the dross, ie "I want to win this holiday to Thailand because I'm desperate to see the Thai Lady Boys and I've been trying to perfect my Ping Pong game, so would love to get some tips from the experts".
Probably best to gear it towards whoever is running the comp, I wouldn't use that response if it was Saga Holidays!0
