Magazine comps

Has anyone ever won anything from the magazine comps such as Take a Break etc? I've always wondered this! :rotfl:

    Not me!!!! Did Take a Break comps for a whole year when it was new out. Was desperate for a car cos I couldn't afford to buy one at the time but didn't win one. Instead a bloke at work won a car in a raffle for 50p and he already had one!!! typical

    no - but then so many people do these comps mse winners are going to be few and far between!

    there are some though that I've seen in 'i won'
