Competitions

I received one of the books from gransnet to review, which turned out to be one of the best stories I've ever read. I have also been chosen to review an 'in home trial' product recently.

On other sites for (taking surveys) I have also recently won amazon vouchers for £250 and £50. Over the years, I have been a keen competition entrant, mainly composing slogans, for all sorts of companies, and have won a car, 3 holidays - USA, Cyprus and South Africa, and many other smaller prizes. You've 'gorra be in it to win it'.

From my experience, I think all competitions are genuine and it's just sour grapes when people say they don't win.

I've won a few prizes - books, a set of pans, an iPad mini. You've not been lucky so far H1954, that's all. But check the 'won anything?' thread and you'll see plenty of prizewinners - they're definitely all genuine competitions!

I won a weekend at Bluestone National Park resort in Pembrokeshire six years ago! The grandchildren and my daughter so enjoyed it so much that I have to take them back every year since!

I had a Fortnum and Mason hamper delivered last week.

I have also won a picture which hangs over the bed, a self catering stay in north Wales and a couple of toys and children's books!

I was delighted to win a few books, both adult and children's.
Last week I received an unexpected book in the post and thought I must have forgotten that I had entered a competition.
It was a surprise from my SIL!

I have been very lucky and won several books, including some children's books which were much appreciated by my grandchildren.

What a lovely prize mumofmadboys. Flowers delivered every month bliss!

I won a book and a monthly delivery of flowers for six months. The last ones are due to arrive tomorrow. That has been a lovely prize! Thank you GN.

I’ve won a few books and some lovely Elemis products from gransnet . Lovely!

I used to win occasionally and got a book club book every month....not any more.
GN has grown in numbers and the chances of winning are far fewer...

I won last month. A book and £100 voucher. Cheered up the awful year we are having!

It is very rare I recognise a name when I look at the "won anything" thread. Many people enter just to win prizes. I think it nice to see a name or two I recognise who has won something.

I won a pile of books a couple of years ago but zilch since. The odd cheque for £300 would be really useful.

Yes, I have won a few.

The winners' names are usually announced on a 'Won Anything?' thread on the Competitions forum, but winners are contacted by email too. Although I did miss out one one prize because I missed the announcement (saw it about six months later!) and wasn't contacted!

I did win a blu-Ray player when I first joined Gransnet and then some hair products but nothing for a long time.
It’s unusual that I actually recognise the winners of competitions I’m sure lots of the winners rarely even post on the forums but just join for the competition entry.

The winners are announced on the thread called Won Anything ?but like you I never seem to win anything.
