I’ve been entering competitions for years but pickings have been pretty slim for the last year or so. In the past I’ve won a couple of trips away in the UK, several vouchers for clothes up to £500, books and kitchen utensils. Nothing from GN. It’s funny how some people seem to be born lucky and win all sorts and others never get anything.

Oh and in 1965 I won a competition to sit on stage with The Beatles. Going back some though!

I've recently won a £100 voucher of my choice on Gransnet! I was gobsmacked. I chose Marks & Spencer. Cheered up my lockdown.

The only thing I have ever won was a tremendous number of books from GN.

I enter most competitions on GN, but have never won a sausage! Oh well, I'm lucky in love. wink
I loved it when Chewy won all those books, I really envied her, until she said she didn't know where to store them!!!

My hobby is competitions have won many prizes. Cruises, weekend breaks,mini clubman,5 nights in New York for 4 people, spa breaks, jewellery. Plus lots of other holidays, books kitchen appliances. But favourite must be a wks ballooning in Italy including trip to Monaco and vineyard tour.

I used to win prizes often including several from GN but they have dried up since the membership got larger.
The best prize I ever won was tickets for a rock concert, teenage DD was desperate to go and couldn't get tickets for love nor money, I made a late entry to a local newspaper competition and won the coveted prize.
