"The tide has turned and so far this year I have won a glittering array of prizes. The biggie came in April when I received a phone call from Conde Naste Traveller to say that I had won a luxurious holiday for two to the Seychelles for 5 nights worth over £5,000! (See picture.) The poor lady who rang me had a very hard job convincing me that it wasnt anything to do with yet another timeshare "win"! A few weeks later a mobile phone arrived. Then I won a local competition for a "fine wine and dining" experience. I have also received many, many smaller prizes. Today I received a lovely letter from BBC Good Homes to say that I had won a top of the range Washing Machine...can this year get any better (although its not over yet!)."

ThePrizeFinder.com's £1,000 Refer-a-friend winner
Friday, February 12, 2010
"I enter hundreds of competitions every week, many of which are thanks to ThePrizeFinder.com. I have won various prizes ranging from CD's and DVD's up to a car (which I was lucky enough to win last year), but cash prizes have always managed to escape me, until now.
I was having a bad day when I received the email from ThePrizeFinder saying i had won £1000 in their refer-a-friend prize draw. I couldn't believe my eyes, my day suddenly got better. With the credit crunch as it is at the moment at least my comping hobby keeps all my family in presents this christmas. Many thanks to ThePrizeFinder.com."My once in a lifetime trip to Africa
Friday, February 12, 2010
"I love entering competitions and log on once a week to Theprizefinder.com to see what new competitions you have to offer. One day I entered one of your competitions to win a once in a lifetime trip to Africa with Smooth FM and World Vision. All you had to do was say why you wanted to win. I explained that my children had grown up and that I wanted to make a difference to the lives of other children in the world. My story was picked from thousands that entered and I was soon off to Africa to see for myself how World Vision help change the lives of people in less fortunate circumstances. It was an incredibly emotional experience but also one I will never forget. We met some amazing people who live incredibly hard lives but who still manage to smile. Thank you Prizefinder. Good luck to everyone who enters one of your competitions. I am always telling people – you have to be in it, to win it."
Happy Harry's Win!
Friday, February 12, 2010
"I entered a competition on Theprizefinder.com to have my 4 year old son Harry's nickname on Love Hearts sweets. We were over the moon when he won, with the nickname 'Happy Harry'. He has a milk intolerance and never complains about not being able to have chocolate or ice cream. He is always a 'Happy Harry', a real sweetie! Even when I was in hospital for weeks on end last year, he kept smiling, even though it was a hard time for him. Harry won a tour round the Swizzles Matlow factory, where he saw his sweet being produced. Andrew Matlow gave him a hamper full of sweets, which made his eyes nearly pop out! 'Happy Harry' will appear on Love Hearts sweets for a year."
Meet Mike, the winner of our Newsletter competition!
Friday, February 12, 2010
After months of endless entering of competitions I was starting to believe that no one ever won anything. Then to my surprise I received an email stating I had won £100 worth of Argos and Homebase vouchers. It was such a nice surprise. Now I know they are worth entering.
My lucky day!
Friday, February 12, 2010
"This was the first prize I won since I started comping again, a 32" HD ready LCD TV. It was exciting news as that morning I received an e-mail from a friend with the Dancing Leprechaun chain mail and figured what the hell and sent it to my friends. Within 20 mins I got a phone call stating I had been allocated a new council house. Then checking my e-mail, I had won a 32" HD ready LCD TV and two days later my wife was given the all clear from recuring breast cancer. How's that for a bit of luck? Thanks to my only portal for comps, Theprizefinder.com."
Waiting For The Big One
Friday, February 12, 2010
"Every morning after breakfast I log onto ThePrizeFinder.com and enter all the competitions I'd like to win. I've won lots of small prizes but in June I had the most wonderful surprise. The month started with a £10 voucher to spend at Poundland, followed by £50 in vouchers to spend at Lakeside and then a bottle of perfume from Lancome.
However, the best prize came in the shape of a Red Letter Day from Samsung Cameras. I had been out for the morning and came home to find a box sticking out of the letterbox. I thought it was another book or DVD but it was a Red Letter Day box containing a Gold Value certificate worth £1000! I scanned the brochure and then the website to see what I could have - should it be a luxury hotel stay or maybe a trip on the Orient Express?
At the end of the list was a Sony 40'' HD-ready plasma TV and I thought this would be more lasting than a quick trip somewhere. I ordered it immediately and it arrived the following week - my husband can't wait for football season!
It is all thanks to ThePrizeFinder.com and this morning I logged in and entered more competitions - you never know what surprise is round the corner."First Time Comper Scoops The Prize Finder £1,000 Prize!
Friday, February 12, 2010
Congratulations to Margaret Christy from Lincoln, the lucky winner of Theprizefinder.com's £1,000 prize draw. Margaret's definitely got beginner's luck on her side as it's the first competition that she's ever entered - and she won!
Margaret's proof that every cloud has a silver lining. She was off work with to a broken wrist when she entered our competition and scooped the £1,000 prize. "When I received the email from The Prize Finder telling me I'd won I just didn't believe it. It was only after I received the official confirmation letter that I started to think that it might be true. My family and friends can't get over my beginner's luck!"
Margaret's not sure what she's going to splash out on yet, but she's sure it'll be a treat for the whole family.
"I'll definitely keep comping now, says Margaret. "Who knows what else I could win!"
