Has anybody ever won on the ‘lucky dip’ style competitions?

Nasty_kiki

Hello! I hope I’m not posting in the wrong area!

I saw some of these earlier today where you either select three numbers or click lucky dip & it chooses them for you, and I was wondering if anybody has ever won anything with these or if they are a waste of time?

Thank you!!

Info from a post earlier this year

Generally small prizes at enormous odds

Win a London meal and top price theatre tickets for two

Match 3 numbers from 1 to 74 - approx odds 74x74x74 = 405,000 to 1

Win a Bose sound link mini Bluetooth speaker

1 to 83 -approx odds 83x83x83 = 571,000 to 1

and a totally ludicrous

Win a £300 Topshop voucher

1 to 134 - approx odds 134x134x134 = 2,406,000 to 1

I've been entering these Lucy Dip-type competitions from the magazines for about 4 months now and not won anything. However, I have won twice on the Prize Draw competitions for the same magazines, so they seem better odds!

I think it very likely the prize draws offer better odds - if the £300 topshop voucher was run as a prize draw there is no way they would get 2.4 million entries for 1 of yours.
