To ask if anyone has won any competitions ?

[Yorkshire340]

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?

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 a friend who submits her answers via post and gives them to me to do online. We are yet to win anything!

Oh! Oh! Oh! I won Stereophonics tickets on the radio this week!

I won a car seat for my goddaughter’s baby on here. I also once won a stay in a traditional gypsy caravan; it was fabulous!

I won £250 worth of Seasalt clothes a few years back. It was brilliant.

I've won this (the one in the middle)

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.

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!!!

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

I won't British Summertime At Hyde Park tickets through o2 priority. Best day ever

• won not won't

I won a Big Brother mug years ago from winning a caption completion on the Big Brother’s Little Brother Show. Russel Brand read my name out

I won a free nursery place for a year via the local paper!

A Queen CD on Radio 5.

I won a beach towel and a book on creative ways to cook with watercress.

Oh and two theatre tickets for a West End show.

I won a car years and years ago! It was a raffle ticket prize. Was quite a rubbishy car ( trying hard to rem, looked like a postman pat car!).but I sold it to a garage and paid off the loan on my own car, so result!
Other than that, I won a Blue Peter poster design competition in 1980- I got 6 dog post cards!

I used to enter loads in the evenings when the kids were in bed gave me something to do

I won a trip on Concorde as a teen.

£1000 Bluewater voucher. Holiday to the Seychelles in 5* hotel. £500 Waitrose vouchers. Hunter wellies. Trainers. Nespresso machine. Lots more smaller prizes. I've been very lucky.

I won a foodie weekend to the Lake District last year, which included accommodation in a 5 star hotel, dinner/lunch at 3 Michelin star restaurants, and a distillery tour. I’ve also won a £25 Nando’s voucher 😁

Where do people find these competitions? Are we talking free entry?
