We've made some changed to Competitions Time. Please see this thread.

how often do you get a win?

every day? every other day? once or twice a week?

or are your wins more spaced out?

    Jan and feb, I had about three to four wins a week on average, this month, I've had two wins in total.. It gets a bit disheartening sometimes, but I know I'm lucky, having won what I have won over the last two months! how about you tinkerbell?
    Thank you, to all those who make the comps forum, what it is.

    I averaged about a win a month last year.

    Had two really good wins in January, a smaller win in Feb and nothing since.

    Not complaining though - sure the comping fairy will visit me again soon and even if she doesn't think I have had it pretty good last 9 months!

    I only started a month ago but all ive won are 2 bottles of wine.
    Need a win soon to keep me going!

    Must have entered 800+ competitions in the last 7 days. (and done at least 50 per day prior to that for 3 weeks.

    Mainly online but also sent off around 60 postal comps as well.

    Hope a win is coming soon.

    I can go months between wins but mainly because I am erratic about entering. However, since winning the £1,000 TK Maxx gift card last month I have started to do more every day.

    This month I haven't won a bean but I just enjoy entering and don't expect to win all the time.

  • I was averaging a win a week throughout the Autumn but only 5 in 2012 is about one a fortnight.

    Three of the 2012 wins were by the 6 Jan so i've only had 2 wins in over 2 months (a CD boxset and a signed book)

    My best win recently was an unlikely 4 numbers on the lottery which paid £57.The first time i've ever had more than a tenner on the lottery
