How many of you have actually won one of the competitions?

Just want to see if it's worth trying them.

    Lots of smaller things like DVDs and movie tickets, no major win yet :)

    You can see some of the winners here of competitions posted.

    I won a mug once. That is all :(

    I won a S4 Mini from Spark/Telecom about 3 years ago. (This was just the thing they advertised on the Herald website etc.) Also a computer over 17 years ago, but that was in Malaysia where competitions often require slogans or similar so they aren't like lotteries (but I don't know if they actually evaluate them, however this was an organisation so more likely they did). The computer wasn't that fancy, but it wasn't that bad and at the time for financial reasons we hadn't updated computers in quite a while (e.g. games were starting to need 3D cards but we didn't have one) so was quite pleased to win it.

    I don't really enter that many competitions (more than the mean or median I suspect but not one of the people who goes around hunting for them or even enters all I see) so possibly got lucky. Actually the S4 Mini you went to the website and it told you if you won or something. I saw it at NZ Herald at about 2 am or so, I think not long after it started. I always wondered if they ensured one or two were won early to try and aide social media promotion and/or just to make sure if it worked.

    Won a signed Ed Sheeran poster. I only entered comps which don't require much effort (name, address, email).

    Won a $100 prezzie card from Coke. Twice. Last year, nothing since.

    Won $500 from Bonus Bonds (I guess it's a competition?) years ago. Nothing in a long time though.

    Won a few things. Only one on ChoiceCheapies though. Used to enter the comps in the DomPost when I got it. Once won a Saints basketball team prize pack with a corporate box (including free all you can eat hell pizza), trip to the south island, $200 hell pizza voucher and a few other goodies.

    I won a free Full Meaty voucher from BK while I was in the box, so I couldn't post the competition here. Just ate it for lunch, really good.
