I comp on and off, when I am bored at work mostly.

I won a 14 day trek through Peru & Ecuador back in 2010, still had to pay for flights etc but the trek was really good.
X.FM Black Keys tickets last year

Never really won anything else.

Very Rarely enter them

I used to try and enter the Gadget show competition - as the prizes were ridiculous - however, I don't bother any more, it's too depressing not winning

I enter technology ones now and again.

Won the nVidia Mass Effect 3 Competition which included a 680, 27" 3d Asus Monitor, a CE copy of the PC game and a model of the ship.

Also came runner up in a Kitguru competition for a modular Corsair PSU, think it's the AX760?

I wouldn't know where to start if I won all their prizes. The boxes would probably fill my living room!

Rarely, although i did win a £200 flight voucher through an O2 one i entered the other month. Took one click in an app so why not. Gives me a virtually free holiday next year.

Very rare i will enter a compo,I dont trust what they do with the info.

Alsolike mentioned the amount of compos that require you to log into Facebook now is just silly so i dont do them...stupid facebook,everything wants to implement with FACEBOOK!

Grrr I've noticed that as well. Not with compos as I don't do them, but with sites in general that requires a login.

Rarely enter competitions now, but I did one some years ago in a gun magazine & won a £300 air rifle.

To do this I think I would have to use an old laptop, a "fake" Facebook account and a competition specific email address.
I just wouldn't trust them otherwise.

I don't enter competitions a lot really. The one thing I have won was from T-mobile a few years ago. A HTC Desire HD.

Zero Pope · 20 Oct 2013 at 19:15

I used to enter the odd Hexus comp, never won anything from those. Only thing I remember winning is my PC case from a comp on here.

...or get a copy of Virtualbox the a linux vm if you're worried about installing spyware etc.

I only enter ones which are generally for taking part in a survey and even then only for ones relevant to me. I wouldn't bother entering loads just for the sake of it though.

bobbyspangles · 20 Oct 2013 at 20:24

Never enter them myself except sometimes in desperation for sold out tickets to sport events or concerts, but I have never won.

My mate once entered a code from my drink can and won a flat screen TV, PS3 and a pallet of Fanta. I still can't decide if I should have been annoyed :confused:

DirtyJester · 20 Oct 2013 at 21:38

Next to never...

d_brennen · 20 Oct 2013 at 21:45

Never won anything of note, aside from Portal 2 from a thread on here. Then again, I hardly ever enter any competitions, so my hit rate is exceptional!

Rudeboy1 · 20 Oct 2013 at 22:19

You know those tv shows were you ring up and select either a, b or c well my mum did that a few years back and won a caravan, so you can win sometimes
