In reply to housegoeshome.com. Yeah the odds on the in-store competitions etc, are better than the lotteries because fewer people can be bothered (although it's still pretty unrealistic for the competitions with big prizes).

In reply to Chrystina. We are so OVER the ice-cream!

That’s an incredible dedication. I always just assume that I’m never going to win. You see, that gives people who care much more of a chance. Good luck, and I hope you enjoyed the ice cream 🙂

Wow, I can’t believe your luck. I’ve never won ANYTHING. I ‘ve been entering the Boystown Lottery for YEARS to no avail. And don’t get me started on the $2 jackpot lottery, or scratchies … waste of bloody time they are.

In reply to E.. You've got to be in it to win it!

Good luck with the competition. I remember winning a few things but no big ticket items. Of course I’m one of those people who thinks everyone will enter so I don’t bother. Mr E. seems to win lots of our prizes at conferences and things. Maybe I should start going to some.

In reply to Cate. Love Tupperware, I have a dream of getting my pantry sorted with everything carefully labelled in tupperware. One day.

I won an electronic cookbook/database/thingy years ago in the paper. I didnt own a computer, but had entered for one of the other prizes in the draw. I also won a big Tupperware giveaway in one of the cooking mags , and still use those things (except the silicon flan pan, what is the point of that?)

In reply to Rachel @ The Kids Are All Right.

I love that your cat won a competition!

It’s certainly true that the more you enter the more you win, it’s a numbers game really.

Glad you like the design.

I rarely enter comps. A friend of mine once bought a book on how to win competitions, and the first piece of advice was simply “to enter them”. So he entered and won his first competition – a trip to the UK. The best thing I ever won was a microwave in high school. Except my cat won it, because I was selling the raffle tickets and put it in his name lest it look suspicious.

Nice new design Janine!
