Our October Wins

Submitted by SuperluckyDi on Wed, 2013-10-02 13:33

Brrrrr.... can you feel the chill in the air? I don't know about you, but once it hits October I start writing a Christmas list of all the prizes I want to win for the family before the big day! This year, Playmobil and kitchen gadgets are top of my list. What stocking fillers would you like to win for Christmas?

Some lovely prizes were reported on the September wins post. I was lucky enough to bag three pairs of Kurt Geiger shoes (worth almost £1000 in total!) in their Instagram video competition - this had just a handful of entries. HappyBoo won thirty pregnancy tests, kldryden finally won her first prize - a diamond necklace!, and jlew80 won a fridge full of beer. Honeymoon shared her wins for the first time - a Belling cooker and a Stella McCartney bag, while eddieb won £250 cash from the Co-operative and manda louise also won £250 cash from Cash is Cool! And kellydorlington1 had her first win - a box of Tomy toys - while hehunt won a lovely prize from her wishlist - an iPad Mini.

As for unusual prizes, maralyn.s won the biggie in the recent Fentimans comp - a Lord/Lady title, coat of arms, piece of land and a stay for 11 people in a stately home. WOW!

Lots of you have posted to say you haven't won a jellybean yet - we hope everyone else's wins will encourage you to keep trying! It can take a while for the prizes to start coming in. Don't forget local magazine and newspaper comps and radio comps can be very low entry, and therefore easy to win! Good luck for October - post your wins as a comment below, and don't forget to upload a photo to the Winners Page too for a chance to win a £50 voucher in our monthly prize draw - congratulations to Heather Cain, our September winner!

My wins this month:
Olive oil set - Facebook
£25 George voucher - Asda Facebook
MU Cheese - Facebook
Digital Camera - JackpotJoy photo comp
£500 Designer Outlet gift card - Pinterest
Kitchenaid Blender - Green Giant Facebook
5 x Happy Socks - Instagram
£300 Selfridges vouchers - Scholl purchase comp
Cooking set - M&S photo comp

TOTAL: £1200

My best start to the month was 1st October was to come home from the doggie walk to find an email from The Prize Finder to say I had won their September £50 Amazon voucher competition.
And it has just got better...
That next week I won a Heinz love chips set from TheStar Prize.
Then in the 3rd week of October I won my first prize on Twitter - some DKNY perfume, and a gorgeous Zatchel bag.
The best prize that week was from Twitter again, from Dave Lackie which was a beauty prize of Lancôme products worth over £300
Then on Prize Finders dailies on Facebook this month I have won a free night away with Novotel.
I also went on the ao.com live stream and won a Bosch animal vacuum cleaner.
This is by far my best month since I started comping in June
I hear from the seasoned compers that Christmas has lots of competitions so I am really optimistic for that!!
