    OMG, i cant believe it but i had a letter today to say i've won the Big Stash competition in issue 39 of Take A Break.
    Apparently it's £11,250!!!!!!!!
    This is SUCH a boon after a terrible year including losing all my income due to Covid restrictions. 
    Thanks sooooo much to @Stob who posted this one! 
    Only this week i'd been wondering if i should stop comping as there didn't seem to be many wins as there be used to be so there's a lesson to all - Hang in there, you never know when a big one is round the corner. 

    Returned to comping after a very long long long break, had noticed there seem to be lots of little prizes so well done.  Congratulations I hope you enjoy every penny.
  • Fabulous congrats! x
  • Lovely - a big well done!!
  • Well done, never normally hear of the big wins!
    Was it an online or post entry?

    I did it online.   In the 'old days' I used to do TAB ones by post but switched to online option some time ago. 
    And when i say 'old days' i can remember doing their puzzles as much as 30 years ago to while away long train journeys, and then having to find a stamp in an unfamiliar destination.  So much easier online.
