    BREAK
    2022: £250 clothing voucher. Honeybuns cakes. Headphones. 3mo supply of corn snacks. Christmas jumper. Plantain chips. CBD skincare.
    BREAK

    I have been entering competitions since 2004 and won some amazing prizes each and every year. However, in 2019 for the first time ever, I have won nothing, absolutely zilch.

    I have not changed anything about the way I comp or comps I enter but the good thing is I have not lost any sleep over it.

    The good news is 2020 has got off to an amazing start as I won £3,566 today on the Kiss Radio competition so that more than makes up for the whole of 2019 which is a year I am glad to see the back of in more ways than one!

    Same here. My comping fairy left me high and dry ages ago. As yet the position hasn't been filled. Hopefully anyday now. Hope 2020 is a better year for all you fellow compers. Be lucky.

  • How many comps does everyone enter a day?
    I’ve only just started, been entering about 20 a day, full of hope but no wins yet!

    I won a packet of haribos in this years advent and nothing since last years advents. A £2 pack of sweets isn't the best win but I'll keep at it, got to be in it to win it.

    So my sweets arrived. It's not a big pack as I thought, it has 8 tiny jellies in it!
  • I've never won a single thing in 10 years, although had a break for a couple of years in the middle. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Even obscure music or local football comps haven't yielded anything.

    I only started comping in the summer of 2016. I've kept a record of my wins (which I can do cos I've not won very much...!) and in my first year of comping I had 10 small wins (book voucher, cinema tickets, bar of chocolate etc). Then I won nothing for 18 months. In Nov/Dec 2018 I had another two small wins. Then I won nothing again for nearly a year, until this Oct/Nov just gone when I had three medium-ish sized wins, certainly my best wins to date. So it's been very hit and miss (mainly miss) but I shall keep going...

    I rarely win anything any more- used to win enough to make it worthwhile. Last year a holiday voucher for a holiday that was far too expensive and adventurous to go on and today an andrex puppy. I see that some people do still win but not me alas.
  • My last win was a pair of training shoes in 2014. Just a tad disappointing.
