Has anyone ever won anything from the Cosmopolitan, House Beautiful etc competitions?

I think they are classed as Hearst Magazines competitions but 'MD' is often in the titles - no idea what that is short for.

I have entered 99% of these since late 2020 (that means literally thousands) and have never won a sausage.

Before I think they are a con, has anyone else won anything from these competitions?

MD is Magazine Daily.  You can enter all comps once a day whilst they are open.  I've won a few times, but I find you have to commit to entering every day to maximise your chances to win, obviously no guarantee though as you have found yourself

MD stands for Magazine Daily in that  you can enter the comps once every day. They are genuine and if you hunt through the I Won section, you should find many winners. Never won myself, however.....

Looking through my email history, I won Mag Dailies 3 times in 2021, 3 in 2022, 4 in 2023 and have just won one in 2024.

Of these 11, ten were received promptly and one required an email to chase the prize which was then received OK.

I've won about 8 times and mostly the prize came very quickly

I have actually won thousands of pounds worth of prizes from them over the years, the latest prize was actually delivered yesterday a new washing machine worth at least £300

Hmm, it feels as though I am blacklisted internally.

Don't get me wrong, I don't expect to win, I just thought I would statistically have won something by now, consider the amount of their competitions I have entered.

Keep going it will happen one day. I have been entering the make me a winner comps for years and never won, but I will continue until I achieve a six month ban

I have won many times on these comps. I win around 3-4 times a year. Good luck 🤞

Won a whole bundle of Greener Cleaner household cleaning brushes (mop, duster, broom, dustpan & brush, scrubbing brushes etc) from Good Housekeeping's daily comp last year in 2022. (prize photos on my insta)
Don't think I've won any other mag dailies
