I know I'm a competition addict, and tend to enter anything that won't cost me money!! Recently I have been very lucky and won 4 prizes from 4 different websites!! Even the little things are very exciting! hehe
The biggest prize I ever won was a trip for 2 to Fiji, but have won lots and lots of things over the years. Another good one was a couple of years back.. I won the major prize which was a Sony DVD player, 10 family DVDs and 10 board games!! So awesome..and I can't wait until the girls are older so we can play the games :) What was the best thing you have ever won? Do you enter them all the time? (In which case, could you be winning stuff I'm trying to win? LOL) Speaking of competitions.. have you entered mine yet? It's an easy one.. basically a photo competition..send one in of your child and you could win an awesome custom portrait!!

I do a few competitions and surveys where you have a chance to win something. I won $100 a couple of weeks ago from doing a Tena Survey, that was cool and has motivated me to enter more! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I won $200 from PP recently. I don't enter them all that often though.
My grandmother is notorious for winning raffles, she won something like 4 or 5 in just a couple of months a few years ago. -------------

I like to enter as many as I can, usually internet ones as I am too lazy to ever have to pay postage
The only things I have ever won was $100 for txting a code off a chocolate bar and some mokopono body suits from OHbaby! Yumi, I must get around to entering your competition, I just have to find the right photo -------------

I enter any competition that I come across. The best thing I have won so far would be U2 tickets, also when I had a PS2 I often won games for that.
I really wanted to win the Ob ultimate comp  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

| I don't but my sister enters everything, and always seems to be winning. She once won a weekend trip with the All Blacks while they were in a training camp. She didn't even like rugby and couldn't name a single All Black! ( She is a big fan now though years after the trip) |

Well, I enter LOTS of things but I haven't won a single thing. Not once.
I guess it's the universe's way of telling me that it's saving something BIG for me
Either that or I should stop wasting time on the computer and do something more productive! -------------

| The only thing I've ever won was 500 pounds cash from doing a survey in a magazine in the uk (TNT for those who've lived there). So I guess NZ$1500 (at the time) is pretty good really. That's it for me though. |
