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........

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

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