To stop entering competitions because no one wins anything?

Someone in the village next to me won an Omaze house this year (lucky so and so).

I won 2 tickets to see Waitress at the theatre when it opened in London. My husband has won tickets for 6 people for a night at the races with free food and drink and some betting money and we were taken there and back in a limo

Entered loads since I was a teen - never ever won a single thing

Because of this thread I entered some competitions that were ending this week. I shit you not I won 2 tickets to the BAFTAS on Sunday!!!! Hotel, travel and make up artist all included!

Must be my lucky day! NC for this because not sure if they’ll name me somewhere as a winner.

I won a few on Instagram but I did used to enter them all of the time so say I entered 10 a day, I won one a week if that. Never anything crazy, the most expensive item was a sleepyhead.

My sisters friend won 250 grand on a scratch card

I've ran a lot of competitions over the years. The only ones that rarely had winners were the type that involved taking a code off the packaging and entering it into a website. The chances of the 'winner' bothering to enter the code are slim.

I’ve won a vacuum cleaner and a pelvic floor toner on Mumsnet, a bottle of very expensive brandy in a competition at the local off licence, several flights and 30 Easter eggs. I’m also lucky in raffles and won a food processor, a blender, a cocktail shaker and chocolates in the last two raffles I entered. Oh and a hamper.

I don't enter competitions like I used to but have won holidays, apple electronics, cash, vouchers etc

My friend won a trip to the Seychelles! And she doesn't enter many competitions so got very lucky!

I have won a few very small prizes, a personalised cake tin was very well received (though the £25k kitchen top prize would have been even better received ). I don't enter many competitions though so don't really expect to get much.

I've never won anything but I only enter competitions rarely. I've got a cousin that wins loads on Facebook. Think it's her thing lol. She wins anything from sweets, flowers to play station 5, wkends away etc. She must enter LOADS I imagine.

About 11 years ago i randomly entered a competition on a vittel bottle of water, a few days later i got a text saying i had won ( it was a weekly prize of a Vespa moped for a year; each week there was a winner) i wasn't sure if i believed it until i got a letter in the post saying which moped shop i had to pick it up from. Only other time was a competition in i think More magazine years ago, won some toiletries. I enter loads of competitions but those are the only ever winners..

Isis1981uk8 well done.
I agree it can be done, it is numbers game.

Entering hundreds of competitions a week will give rewards.
My biggest wins have been

1. Two week full board island hopping holiday in the Seychelles ( worth £18K)
2. A week for 4 at the London Savoy hotel.
3. £5000 cash.

Forgot to say im signed up to a competitions website which posts new ones every day.theres hundreds of great competitions on the one i use.give it a go.

Someone always wins, companies wouldn't get away with running competitions which didn't actually have a winner - they would get found out and there is legislation around raffles/competitions/draws.

People who win a lot are usually people who enter a LOT. My MIL has won (over the years), a years supply of teabags, a trip to disneyland, free ferry travel to Jersey, and various smaller prizes. But she enters hundreds of competition - about 10 a week I think

I won a car on here!

And a laptop!

I do a lot of online competitions. I enter loads everyday and i do the ones in the magazines.Over the last few years ive won adidas trainers,make up,kids toys toys.etc etc.One of my best wins was a a cash prize from take a break magazine a few years ago and i won a lovely kids jigsaw puzzle just tbis week.so it is possible.i do a lot of daily ones too where you enter every day for chances to win vouchers etc.its a lot of fun.😃

I won a book on MN.
First draw I've ever won so I was chuffed, even though it is a book about the menopause (which I'd rather wasn't relevant to my life).

I'll carry on with free competitions but won't pay to enter any.

I won a holiday to Dublin at a bingo rave club night a couple of months ago 🤣 also had a few things from sky vip, mostly tickets for things eg Disney on Ice, ballet, football.

F to come back later once my pest
Of a dd is a sleep

Really interested in this. Do you have a job or just a few hours spare each day to do this? Where do you find the competitions?

I do have a full-time job (36 hours), and 2 primary-age kids, but my partner is at sea 4 months at a time so when he's away I spend a few hours every evening (+ weekend time) entering rather than watching TV. It's very much a serious hobby for me, whereas most people aren't prepared to spend the time doing it.

My mum won 2 x £1000 watches plus a diamond necklace in a competition at a local jewellers when I was a kid.
