    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.

    Was this before the £500 limit rule?
    I won £500 in vouchers from Bauer just before Christmas so I've been avoiding their other high value comps.

    If 5000 people enter a comp then you have a 1 in 5000 chance of winning. The chances of you winning twice is 1 in 25million, but if you have already won once, then the chances of winning again are 1 in 5000 - the same as anyone else.
  • I've won twice from MacFormat within about 4 months - the person emailing even mentioned my luck in the emails!!
