Has anyone won anything from those Take A Break mags?
As far as Crosswords are concerned, I have only won £25 runner-up Prize with You Magazine 2-3 Years ago and do Xwords every week without luck.

I woin a colouring in competition with The Tufty Club when I was five. I won a hankerchief...!
Regrettably, no. The poster, along with all my others, got lost over the years, mostly during my move to London in 1987...
I never do, why I bother entering them is a mystery to me, but ever hopeful. Either late last year or early this year I was watching South Today, and they had a story about this woman who was really lucky - she had won masses of stuff, holidays,and washing machines etc, in competitions, and blow me down if it wasn't a woman I used to work with! She'd taken early retirement and moved near the sea and spent her days filling out competition forms! Nice for her, though.
I was about 12 too when I entered a batch of competitions from various comics. I won a large whoppie cushion from Whizzer and Chips comic, a £10 record voucher from Pink magazine (or it could have been from Blue Jeans mag), another £10 voucher from Whopper comic and a wooden (that's showing my age!) tennis racket from some other comic which I can't remember.

I haven't won anything since! I'm still waiting for that big lottery win........

Actually I lie - once I did the Name Game in the Daily Mail (for a while you could text the answer in, but they don't seem to do that now) and noone was more surprised than me when a man rang and told me I had won some money - can't remember how much! So, 1 prize in years! of doing puzzles.

There are some people who almost make a living from "comping":

Apparently, many of even the major competitions receive only a handful of entries...
