Are you likely to win from the same company twice?

Hi, I've won something from TV Choice, but was just wondering whether it's worth entering their future competitions. Has anyone won from them twice?

Unless it is not allowed by T&Cs then it makes no difference for a properly run competition and this should be as the title is part of Bauer Media.

It depends what the T&Cs say. Most of the advents say one prize per person, but there is a local company to me who said that there is no limit to how many times you can win.

With bigger prizes, sometimes they state that you can't win again within 6 months.

Depends on the company. I won twice about 6w apart from a magazine a few years ago and had no issues, plus I saw a Twitter person have 2 wins in the same week from a page we both follow so it can definitely happen.

I've seen the same person win the same competition twice (when there was more than one prize available) so it does happen in even more extreme cases, for the time it takes to enter a competition, if the prize is something you want then just enter it anyway and if they say "no, sorry", then chalk it up and move on.
You'd probably spend more time worrying about it / checking your previous wins than it would take to actually just enter, so just go for it

Everyone loves a chancer.

A few years ago I won two Capital FM competitions in close succession (probably a month apart), first a Macbook Air and then £500. Sadly winnings have been sparse since!

Unless it's stated in the T&Cs there's nothing stopping you entering, and winning, more than once with the same company.

I've personally had multiple wins with Empire, Doctor Who and Real People magazines and Sky, BBC and ITV teletext services back when they were running. (I won the latter's 'Where in the World' competition three times in the space of six months.) And those are just the ones I can remember.

I also remember the local paper running a competition for a few months several years back and it was obviously poorly advertised because the same two or three people won it for pretty much the entire duration it ran for!

A couple of years ago I won £500 with a magazine in the Bauer Media group, shortly followed by £2000 with one of their radio competitions.

Those were the days!

I'm currently doing the Travis Perkins daily competitions, and won a chocolate selection box. I told them how much I enjoyed searching for the answers, and they told me to keep entering as it would be possible to win again.

I won the £50 Sun comp. last October and won again in December :j

I had 2 winning emails from Mojo Mums for different competitions 9 minutes apart this morning.

Yes, if the T & Cs state that its ok. A couple of years ago I won a racing car experience & a lego prize from top cashback (both in December, about a week apart).
