Winning competitions

[Tups]

Has anyone ever won a radio or an internet competition? I wondered whether it's worth filling in all my details on the competition sites. I know they are just wanting all my details but if I can win something big, maybe it's worthwhile. Do you know anyone who has actually won a cruise, a car or maybe just a jar of coffee?

I have won several things from radio phone-in competitions in the past, however this was when it was the first call through which went on air, nowadays it seems you have to ring a premium rate number and then a certain number of callers are selected and one is chosen to go on air. I have won a copy of The Scorpion King film. More recently I was a winner on a butter site where you enter codes from your purchases onto the website and your details go into a draw. I won some very nice kitchen electricals.

I won a 2 week holiday for 2 people in marrakech with �500. spending money in a competition that was run by the Daily Star a few years ago. the competition was easy so i did'nt expect to win anything, the ironic thing about it was i do not usually buy the daily Star it just happend that it was delivered by mistake that morning . I have entered several competitions since but so far no luck on any !!

Thanks to both. So there ARE real winners then! Classic fm only charge 4p a call for their competitions. I tried for the 23 day cruise yesterday but wasn't first time lucky! It made me start looking at internet competitions, just to see what's there. It seems the ones I delved into just want all your details, inc DOB, address, where you shop etc. Wonder if there really is a prize there at all or are they simply collecting data ...

I have won a couple of Radio comps but only the ones where you get straight throuh to the Radio Station and they pick a line. As for the ones elsewhere, I agree with you that they are only for data purposes.

I was pretty chuffed when I won first prize of a silver iPod Nano 8Gb some time ago.
I haven't had much time to work on it yet though.I'm not quite sure yet how to download stuff from the computer on to it.So,I'll have to read the instructions.I hope it's easy to do!

Oooh,I have tried entering an online contest the other day to win a 80GB PS3 console.Now that would be a cool prize!!
I have never won a big cash prize yet though!!
