Your first win???
Comments
-
my first win was a set of 10 hardback novels - I was 10 (and was hooked then!!)
in the past 18mths the biggest things I have won are PS3 60gb, an Xbox360 Elite, 2 nintendo DS's, Sony portable DVD player and a Sony Vaio laptop. (My kids think I'm god!;) )
There are many others prizes I have won which are smaller but so much better - tickets to shows, kids party, vouchers etc.
Keep going its worth it!
ps - still trying for the TV & Wii!!
Wow! Great prizes! If i can win even one of those, i'd be over the moon! Well done!! :TE.I.J.O.Q.U.X.Y.Z:staradmin You gotta be in it to win it! :staradmin0 -
I started comping through this site at the end of February and I had my first big win about 10 days after starting. It was a trip to a Tiger Sanctuary in Periyar, India and we're going at the end of October.
Then had another nice win a fortnight or so later which was an annual cinema pass and a digital camera.
So I've had a really good start. 7 of the smaller wins from Glamour in May have made May for me - I'd have had nothing at all for May other than a PC game if it hadn't have been for that competition. Got down to the last 4 to win a car on the radio but lost out there.
I would love a new bed and a TV that's bigger than 50" - those are my competition dream wins and I'll keep plugging away until I've got them :-)11th Heaven prizes Number 103

My first ever win was a two day/one night stay at champneys.
Me and my mate went about two years ago and had a fab time.
This was before I used this forum for comps regularly.
I was a freebie hunter first, but once I'd won that I was hooked and haven't looked back since.
Have won some great prizes thanks to people on here posting and sharing comps.

My 1st win was about 2 weeks after I started - a hallmark goodybag, which was lovely and my biggest win has been just over £2000 virgin experience vouchers from big snap amazing :j:j:j0

I started comping in March last year and more recently started using MSe (was using a porthole website before!) By May I had three wins:
Tickets to the Vitality Show in London (small win but I was pleased!)
Then - some garden furniture - table and two chairs from UKTV worth about £200
Then (and you could have knocked me down with a feather!) A HOLIDAY TO AUSTRALIA AND TICKETS TO SEE GWEN STEFANI!!! Went last August and it was fantastic!
Really is the luck of the draw and as this forum proves you have to be in it to win it and you never know when the next big win is round the corner! Half the fun is just dreaming of winning but knowing it actually happens means its not a pipe dream it could be you next time round! A year and a bit later I have won two other weekend holidays abroad! (Paris - but couldn't go and Russia in August!) and loads of other small prizes! So heres to living the dream (and wasting hours of our lives on our laptops in the mean time!!)

I really can't remember what my first win was but I'm pretty sure it came about 2 months after I started in March 2007.
My first big win was a while gold and diamond necklace worth £1000 and it came only 4 or 5 months after I started.
I won a laptop last year too, which was probably one of my favourite wins because it's enabled me to enter far more comps and therefore win more.
My biggest win this year was £980 from Dickinsons Real Deal.
Good luck to everyone entering and thanks to everyone posting.

My first win was within a month or so of starting and it was a cat poets calendar and book, I was so excited by it and soon became totally hooked! I've been comping since October last year and my better wins include a spa break, an iphone and a £1000 experience voucher so it is well worth it. Good luck to you and everyone else on here tooJust become FTBs & Aiming to be mortgage free by 2034
