Does Anyone Ever Win Instant Win?
Ask a Question
I have noticed on many online magazine competition pages, as well as daily entry competitions, you can do instant win competitions. These are on sites such as Marie Claire or Prima. Have you ever won one of these instant win comps?
Hi, l did the instant wins for two years SOLID everyday and Nope, never ever won so l stopped doing them 
Pinkspirit Yep, I had tried for a over a year and nothing. They do seem a waste of time. Good luck to you with other competitions though.
kellywellyboo yep!!, total waste of time, l tend to win one magazine competition every 3 months.. good luck on all your competition entries too 
I used to do them when I first started comping years ago but gave up after about a month. I don't know anyone who has won on the instant win comps.
I think they are deliberately set up so you can't win. First of all they have far more numbers than the lotto (70 odd I think) so it is nigh on impossible to pick the right numbers to match the spin.
Secondly they have a specific closing date so they obviously don't expect anyone to win before the close date.
Thirdly, if it were possible to win and someone did so during the first week or two it makes a mockery of even having a closing date.
As soon as I started to think about all this and the odds of winning I quit doing them. In fact I don't do any comps that rely on a game of chance or spin of a wheel for the same reasons, they can't have people winning all the prizes in a short window of time during which the comp is open.
On the other hand I have won a few of the magazine comps answering a question, with a closing date and daily entry.
