I've been entering competitions for some time now and have enjoyed occasional small wins. I'm living in hopes of winning big-time but it won't be the Lotto as Lotto tickets cost money. The competitions I enter are free - although I have gambled the price of a Lotto ticket very occasionally when there's a particularly big prize on offer... £113 million is just about enough to tempt money out of the bottom of even my pocket....!
But..... back to earth..... I recently won a meal for up to eight people at a restaurant in Newcastle and gave this as a present to my daughter so she could have and evening out with her boyfriend and their combined children. Yesterday I got a lovely recipe book and calendar in the post, that was a nice little surprise.... but where's the BMW or the SAAB convertible, the wonderful holiday in Florida with £1000 spending money and the new kitchen..?? I'll keep on trying.
There's lots of competitions of course but the best are those where there's fewer entrants as there's a better chance of being the winner. So.. I look in local newspapers and check out local stores and businesses that run competitions now and again. These, more local competitions, have been quite lucrative and the prizes I've won have included a under-counter fridge and a wonderful weekend at Slaley Hall complete with luxury pampering and a round of golf. So... I'll keep on trying and who knows..... I might soon be blowing the dust off my passport and driving to the airport in my brand new SAAB convertible to catch a flight to Florida, Florance, Paris or Sun City in South Africa.
