    My best win was my years supply of cat food and also being able to gift so much to my nieces this Christmas :) 
    Also looking forward to using my Crystal maze tickets, have them booked for later this month and so excited! 

    Good luck everyone for next year.

    Rubbish -  not won anything for over 3 years!

    Can I ask how many competitions people are entering and are they websites, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram?

  • A pretty decent one for me. 

    Had a spell out from Jan - June because there was too much on but some absolute crackers such as Euros Semi Final tickets, PS5 & Iphone and £250 meadowhall vouchers. 32 wins altogether with a total of about £3500. 

    Best wishes to everyone for the new year!

    2021 was definitely my best comping year for the amount of wins. I started comping alot on social media and instagram especially and i got a large amount of wins from there. I had a few bigger wins-1 footstool (worth £399), a cash prize of £250 plus a £50 voucher and a jewellery set worth £300 (all instagram) and i won £100 on the paypal comp, £100 jd sports voucher & £50 tesco voucher (both on twitter). I had lots of food related wins this year including a years worth of dark chocolate digestives with mcvities and popcorn, brownies, cakes, chocolate, pizza, crisps, ice-cream-all the healthy food groups lol) Also won a bunch of books and toys for my little girl so definitely pleased with how this year has gone. Hoping for more of the same in 2022. Good luck everyone.

    My August 2025 Wins: £25 lifestyle food voucher (web), book (web)

    I started again in November but had a couple of weeks off as I was quite ill.

    Only 3 small ones, the smallest being 10p on TCB 😂, I also won a £15 voucher for Primark and a book. Still hoping for a winning email or two this week when people are going back to work and drawing the comps

    It was a good year for the 'purchase necessary' competitions, KitchenAid from Silver Spoon, City bike from Nestle, PS5 from Flipz, Weber BBQ (plus Bose speaker shopping voucher) from Lucozade, the top prize OLED Television and soundbar from M & M's, plus small prizes of vouchers, and a very handy £500 win from That's life just after my boiler packed in last January.   Didn't  do very well with the Mag Dailies - even though I enter every day - thinking of giving these up.
