Started doing competitions fairly recently and so far won zero! Often wonder if the competitions are a scam - has anyone ever won anything good?

Does a bottle of pomagne in my primary school raffle 40 years ago count?

Twoevils · 26/01/2018 22:12

I've won a few off here - mostly kids stuff unsurprisingly

Once won an all expenses holiday to the Bahamas as part of a staff incentive scheme.

Won £250 A couple of weeks ago in a local lottery for good causes.

Can't complain really!!

I have won 2 weeks all inclusive Island hopping in the Seychelles. An all inclusive week for 4 at the Celtic Manor Hotel and £1000 cash. Lots of little prizes too.

I've won quite a lot over the years but as comping becomes more popular the more cheats there are. It doesn't help with the newspaper stories which imply that all your need to do is enter a couple and you'll win enough to give up working. You need to enter loads and be prepared to win nothing for ages, when you do win prizes are mainly small such as books, DVDs or make up.

Nocabbageinmyeye · 26/01/2018 22:29

I have been lucky, I have won a few bits for my house, new sofas, a stove, a fridge and freezer, tv, dining table. Some vouchers, an iPhone, make-up, hotel breaks, beauty treatments, runners. I enter regularly though, it has definitely been worth the time I put in the enter, keep trying op

I won East 17 tickets back in the day (on the radio) - I didn’t even like them then!!!

I also won some Foo Fighters tickets on radio 1 - that was significantly more exciting and I made some rather high pitched noises that not even bats couldn’t hear!!! However when I met Dave Grohl (briefly) I couldn’t even form any semblance of a sensible word!!!

JJPP123 · 26/01/2018 22:30

I won the SmArt competition on CITV about 25 years ago. The presenter rang me up and my name was announced on TV
