Meet Our Latest Winners!

So I started entering competitions in March of this year, just for something to do really. Problem was I got addicted and despite not winning, and I do mean NOTHING I haven't been able to stop! My family thought I was the craziest person on the planet - spending hours entering literally a 1,000 comps per week and getting nothing in return.

Then, this morning I actually won something! I was so in shock I had to keep reading and re-reading the email! Finally! And what better than diamonds! In fact my initial made up of them in a white gold setting worth approx. £250!

I can honestly say that I am so excited I haven't actually stopped smiling yet!

Thank you ThePrizefinder and to every other crazy person who blogs here for encouraging me to keep going and not give up.

I found ThePrizeFinder and I started to enter comps and Facebook comps and it started to pay of for me as I have won:
A chocolate hamper
Sweet hamper
Mini oven
And loads of other stuff - 24 bottles of Brothers cider, 2 bottles of wine, kids stuff, baby stuff and food.

I know everyone says 'I never win anything!' Well for me, that was literally the case - I have never won a thing, nowt, naddah, zilch.....until today!! Now, I know for most people, these will seem like such a piddly thing, but for me it's massive; I have FINALLY won something for the first time in my 38 years!! I received through the post this morning a ceramic pen that I won in the Kyocera Facebook competition and I'm as pleased as punch. This is all thanks to this site, so thank you PrizeFinder - let's hope it's not another 30+ years until the next win!

Thank you so much Theprizefinder!

We have just arrived back from a fabulous holiday in Wilder Kaiser, Austria. A wonderful prize from Twinings tea, entered after finding it on your site!

Twinings & Wilder Kaiser were fantastic, allowing us to pay extra to take our son along too!

This is a holiday that we would have never considered booking, we are normally found on a sun lounger on a hot beach lol, but we had one of our best holidays ever. Best of all it has opened our eyes to a whole new array of holiday possibilities for the future!

We climbed mountains, waded through rivers, abseiled & sang drinking songs in a traditional Austrian pub!

This is a photo of my wife wading through mud in Scheffau on the Kneipp trail, a kind of holistic walk through the forest with various stations, all invented by a doctor to promote well being. Even after all the walking we had done, I felt like my feet had wings after the Kneipp trail!

We even managed a 2 days at the mountain side swimming pool in Ellmau, so the sunbeds were not entirely deserted!

I have only really started entering competitions in the last few weeks while the kids were off school and took over my TV every morning on my days off work.

I never thought I would win anything but today I came home to a parcel a Huge Bag of Palmers Skin Products! Soooo pleased :-) Kids go back to school tomorrow and now on my mornings off I'll still be entering competitions!!

Thanks PrizeFinder, it makes finding competitions so much easier.

I lost my blogging mojo over the summer and had almost given up. I entered the odd competition here and there (mostly on Twitter) and won a couple of good bits - a St Tropez Tanning Set, bluetooth headphones, tickets to the Southport Flower Show and a Tapas Revolution Cooking book.

Then I was checking Facebook when I saw the Rice Krispies Smiler post to win Alton Towers tickets with the addition of a Smiler Fast Track pass - I started my carriage and called my mum, dad and husband to get to and on our first attempt we won!

Spurred on by my success I decided to head back to ThePrizeFinder on Thursday night and clicked on to the Closing Soon page - I entered about 5 competitions before shutting my laptop and heading to bed too tired.

The next day I was shopping in ASDA after work when my phone rang from a London number - It was XFM!! I'd won £1,000 and a crate of Bulmers in their final weekly draw. I had entered it just the night before by telling them my song to start the weekend! I'm ecstatic - you never let me down TPF!!! Now my mojo's well and truly back!!!

I wasn't convinced about the authenticity of doing online competitions until my partner started doing them last year and had a few nice household wins, nothing worth more than about £50 per prize but enough to make me want to give it a go myself! Within my first few days I couldn't believe my luck when I won a case of beer through a Facebook competition that I simply had to like and share! That was in June. And to my surprise a large white van pulled up outside my house last week with a princess musical potty I entered for my daughter who is only 6 months at the moment but it's a nice win to put away! We are hoping that between us we may be able to win something we cant afford ourselves such as a holiday or some cash to help us out. Either way we are fighting over the computer each night now!

I started using the Prize Finder at the beginning of August and have won many prizes throughout the month. I have been lucky enough to win cocoa powder, nail art, hair products, tablet case, bikini and razor, a picnic hamper worth £60, a book, silver bunting necklace, Liz Earle cleanse and polish, face masks, Fudges hamper, £25 Amazon voucher, mascara AND a baking masterclass worth up to £160 + a Whitworths sugar goody bag!

Thank you so much to ThePrizeFinder, I will continue to use this website when I go back to university..it's lovely to win nice things I wouldn't normally be able to afford to buy. I love my new hobby so much! :)

Here's hoping next month will be just as good, or has my beginner's luck run out? Only time will tell!

Here are a few of my prizes (I haven't received many yet) :)

I entered the Casillero del Diablo Ultimate Diablo Burger challenge. They gave 30 prizes away. I made a pork burger with five spice, served with prawn crackers and a hot and sour chilli sauce dip. I was chosen as one of the lucky winners. They delivered the BBQ to my house. It was a rather large BBQ. We had trouble putting it together. They also delivered 6 bottles of Casillero del Diablo wine on the same day. The meat box was delivered the next day. It consisted of 4 burgers, sausages, chicken drumsticks and sirloin steak and also 4 burger buns. It was delivered on a bank holiday. It was a lovely hot day. So we enjoyed a lovely BBQ in our own garden and had plenty of wine to drink. It was a really good prize.

I have had a fantastic month for winning, but cant put it down to anything other than one of those phases!

I've won a Rough Guide and a Footprint travel guide - great because I love to travel. My biggest win was a Samsung Galaxy Tab from Appliances Online via their live stream which was very exciting.
I've won a couple of Amazon vouchers, which I always appreciate, one was from Discovery foods on Instagram. I've won a couple of things on Twitter this month too, both involving for some effort. One was a Mini fridge from Currys PC World for submitting a photo of a unique way to keep cool this summer. The second was travel speakers from Cheapflights.
Finally, I entered a photo into the MARS Milk competition for a summer of play kit back in April, and I won that out of the blue last week. The kit is FAB!

This months effort/creative competitions have paid off for me, but I have been just a bit more lucky than normal. It comes to us all, so keep going if you're in a dry spell.
