I always read the advice given from The Prize Finder, and try to take notice to improve my comping. One great tip was to look locally for competitions. I had always wanted to go on an old fashioned steam train, as my late Dad loved them, so this was a prize on the wishlist.
I scoured the small free newspapers, and saw that there was a text draw for a day trip to York on a vintage steam train with dining included.
I made my text and forgot...about 3 weeks later the company rang me and told me I had won! A day trip to York on the train and back with 3 course breakfast on the way there, and dinner on the way back. We had a wonderful time - the food, service and views were wonderful (and the free Champagne!). A real treat that I wouldn't have bought for myself, but that was out of this world!
