Annoying, isn't it?
Especially the one recently where the lady was bragging about how much she'd won, yet moaned because she won a season ticket for Leeds and didn't even support the club.
That is sheer greed for me.
Be Lucky.
I think if they are bragging about winning crap they don't want, they are either entering the wrong comps, and missing stuff they would like, or entering so many they can't have time to enjoy their wins or the rest of their life. I'm fairly selective but still spend a lot of time on it, and I aren't going to spend more.2018 - £562 2019 - £130 2020 - £276 2021 - £106 2022 - £1400 -

This happened to me twice with 1st 2nd 3rd place prizes though, I went for the baby gear bundle and blu-ray player but came in second and got a maternity pillow and set of bluray discs, respectively.
It was still a good win, just not what I was going for :rotfl:
That said, it does annoy me when people just enter everything and hope they can sell the prize. I only go for things I really want because as you say, time.
2014 wins: maternity/nursing pillow, Magnum chocolate, baby stroller, Baileys cupcakes
Took a break while I moved country (twice).
2018 wins:£400 meal for 4, Clipper tea
2019 wins: flight voucher0
