Meet Our Latest Winners!

I'm not new to comping however I am new to the site. Like many working parents, I started comping after the kids went to school and before I went to work. It's been profitable and rewarding over the last 4 years and I havent paid for holidays in that time.
I happened on ThePrizefinder last year by chance and saw a TV comp mentioned. Like most, I thought "Lottery odds", no chance of winning, however I did enter that and found some more which I also entered on a wing and a prayer.
The end result was a telephone call from ITV one morning infoming me I had won a luxury 5 star break to New York for 6 people worth around £20,000 and £20,000 cash. I was speechless!
I would encourage people to carry on, there are lean times, I haven't had one win so far this year but I bagged £43,470 last year and averaged several thousand a year. What other hobby gets you meeting the famous, meals, weekend breaks, holidays and huge cash prizes?
Needless to say I am now signed up and looking forwards to blowing it on 5th Avenue this April!

I used to enter competitions a year or 2 back and won only 2 small prizes, but due to circumstances I had to stop. Since the 3rd of Jan I have started again. On the 7th I won a Halo's and Horns comp and received a package full of bubble baths, body washes, lotions and tooth paste for children. Then on the 8th I won a £50 voucher for M&S. I couldn't believe I had won 2 in 2 days. I was over the moon. Both of them were twitter comps which at first I never bothered with, but now I'm glad I started with them. It's an amazing feeling to win and now I'm hooked.

I am new to comping and like to enter Facebook competitions through The Prize finder when I have spare time. I entered a comp on Andrex Washlets recently to be the face of their new advert...well too my surprise I had an email saying I had won. The advert was on ITV 1 on sat night at 9pm - prime time TV :-) Everyone thought it was hilarious!! Ths has spurred me on now. You can win ...I'm going to aim for a prize next!

After entering alot of advent competitions in December I had become a little disheartened. I had only managed to win a Pringles speaker (which most people got!) and there were stories everywhere of peoples' great wins! I had a phone call last week to say I had won the runner up prize for a competition run by gurgle which was a baby thermometer worth £22. Lets hope this is the first win of many for 2013.

Last Easter, Waitrose ran a competition to win a cookery day at the Waitrose cookery school for two. The prize included £200 of travelling expenses. My son and I travelled to London the night before and stayed over so that we could have an early start. We had a really wonderful time. We cooked a 3 course lunch for ourselves and in the afternoon we also had a cooking demonstration in the Lecture theatre. We had a fantastic day out and we learnt a lot about food and cooking that day.
Waitrose also made a video on that day. So we were followed around by the by a couple of videographers and an interviewer. It was all great fun. If there is another competition at Waitrose cooking school this year, I hope to win it again.

In December I've tried out new ways of comping such as Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram. I couldn't believe when I've noticed a comment from Farfetch that I've won in their Christmas wrapping photo competition. I had to upload a pic, showing my prezzie wrapping skills. I was very proud of a nice little package and this photo won the their prize of $250 credit on the website. I was so glad and happy and though choosing was not easy, I've decided to get this stylish scarf from Alexander McQueen that I've wanted forever but could never afford. The scarf has arrived today and turned a dull rainy day into bright happy Monday!

I only starting comping just before Christmas 2012. I won a couple of small items like 3 Weird Fish caps, Hotel Chocolat reindeer lolly, Copella Emma Bridgwater mug, Dairymilk bar and then first thing in the New Year I found out I'd won a Le Creuset roasting set! I am hooked on comping now and will definitely carry on. Thank you Prize Finder for making it so easy!

I've been comping since July 2012 and haven't won all that much. When I first started I won a lush gift set and a children's book then nothing until some Pringle speakers in December! it was so hard to keep at it but when I felt my mojo slip, I read the latest winners section and thought if they can do it so can I, then just after Christmas I received a email to say I had won a iPad mini! Then a photography book turned up along with a Cbeebies CD for my son :D

It just goes to show that if you keep it up it pays off! And if i feel my mojo slipping again ill just keep reading the winners section!

I've been comping for about a year so I guess it's a staple hobby now! I love winning all kinds of things. I get a great thrill out of winning small things I really like too, not just the big wins. So far this month I've won a bottle of Copella juice via Facebook, four packets of Dizolve washing sheets for a creative competition that involved making a sock puppet, a pair of Butterfly twists which are super comfy, I'm so pleased with them and my latest win is a piece of Liora jewellery from a tip I submitted via Facebook. Certainly pleased with my lot so far, not a bad start to the year :)

I started comping during the advents in Dec 2011 and had quite a successful 2012 - winning a family holiday in the UK, the Kit Kat challenge and a £500 beauty box been the biggest! But like many compers I often lose a bit of mojo. I diligently check my spam and inbox, and this is where I usually find my wins, with the odd little surprise landing on the doorstep.

Imagine my shock today at opening a letter (that looked like it was from my kids school) to discover I've won a fantastic Eurocamp Holiday for 2 adults & 4 kids up to the total of £1400 – including travel costs. Hubby thought I was a maniac dancing around the front room in my PJ’s.

Keep at it, even when your mojo slips! Wishing you all lots of lucky dust and nice wins for 2013, mine definitely started off fantastically.

And huge thanks to Di and Steve for the fantastic work they do on site!
