How Lucky Are You ?
Competitions
I have been entering competitions regularly for the past 20 years. 18 years ago I won a Bart Simpson pinball game and last year I won a pair of socks. That’s it !!!!!
I had a good streak about 6yrs ago - won engraved wedding rings, few room decoration for our reception, free Swarovski earrings, and a few other bits while wedding planning. Then I got married and all my luck stopped lol
I've won £100 restaurant vouchers which is the most I have won. I have won the odd voucher here and there but not really anything big.
I have won some right random things over the year, such as dorest cereal and a year supply of shreddies
If I didn't have bad luck I would have none I was super surprised when I won one of those message boards that light up
£7000 hol to Mexico, £2000 thomas cook voucher, £500 of maternity clothes, Amazon Kindle, alpaca trek, sheep footstool, coffee plant, coffee machine, £50 pets at home voucher, box of shampoo and conditioner, box of Jo and Seth’s popcorn, my sofas restuffed , £100 cash, trip to Scotland, etcher sketcher! Other bits as well, can’t remember. Been entering for 20 years, past couple of years enter around 100 a week
The best comp I ever won was from classicfm. It was 4 separate trips to 4 European cities to see four concerts/opera. It included flights, 3 nights each time in posh hotels and £500 spending money each time. Milan, switzerland, Germany and london. Nothing as good since then but I reckon that used up my quota of luck!
I'm not very lucky but it is fun to enter competitions and you just never know. The lottery on the other hand I don't bother with at all. I know some people who seem to have very lucky streaks.
I started entering in April and won a hotel night in the Cotswolds, 2 tickets for a theatre play, 2 vinyl records (2 separate comps) , a hair mask and a fake tan product. So I'm quite lucky I guess!
it is not so much luck as the fact that so many people are entering and therefore lessens the odds I would give it up if you don't win unless you love it
I have started comping in Feb last year, and here's some of the stuff that I have won:
- £300 cash
- A laundry basket
- A cushion
- A Milton antibacterial cleaning kit
- A huge Swizzels sweets hamper
- £1,000 worth of cordless gardening tools
- A load of crisps
- Solar lamps for camping
- A box of chocolates
I like to enter around 100 comps a day, or maybe close to 200 on a good day. I hope you win more stuff. Good luck.
