    Good evening!

    Just signed up as I have never won a competition in my life!!

    Just curious, do people tend to enter as many competitions as possible or just the ones that interest them? Oh and if you do enter competitions that dont interest you, do they sometimes offer a cash alternative?

    lol...I think I'll just enter the comps that interest me and then it wont feel like a chore!

    welcome to comping - it wont feel like a chore after a while - it will be more like an addiction!

    I enter as many comps as I have chance to - mainly just ones posted on this site. I only enter the ones that I would make use of or be able to use as presents etc - I dont enter comps for tickets unless I want to go or it has accomodation

  • Hi everyone,

    Has anybody got any advice about e-lottery syndicates. I have seen these on the Prizefinder website but I am unsure whether to have a go on it.

    Has anybody used the site, or should it be avoided.

    Any help would be great.

    avoid

    it's an MLM thing which relies on you continually getting 5 people to sign up under you

    after a few layers there are not enough people left to sign up in the country !!

    Hi all

    I am looking to swap Subway tokens. I need F, E, A and P. If anyone has any of these, please PM me!

    Maybe we could turn this thread into a Subway token thread where all of use doing this can swap or buy tokens needed.

    I have U, B, I, T, C, H (oops, just came out like that..but seriously, these are the letters I have to trade! lol.gif )

    Hello All,

    JUST FOR INFORMATION!

    May not be the place to put this but....

    As you are probably aware, there are rare McDonald tickets for certain places on the board for each section. If you get one of these, its like getting a win, but only if you know what they are and that it is worth keeping.

    I have found a site with this information

    http://www.mcdonaldsmonopoly.co.uk/rare.html

    Rare Tickets :

    Liverpool street Station
    Whitechapel road
    Pentonville road
    Northumberland Ave
    Vine street
    Trafalgar square
    Piccadilly
    Bond Street
    Mayfair

    I hope that this information is true and that somebody can win a prize from it!

    Everybody please watch their cholesterol Levels!!!:eek:
