I've entered quite a bit of contests on the internet however I've never actually won any of those. I'm quite disappointed as I'm always entering contests and yet I just never win. I hate those people that enter one contest and end up walking away with insane, large prizes that they never use! That bothers me to no end!

I've entered some... easy ones that just require your info. The ones where you have to write something or provide a product code, I usually don't bother with.

Most of them are bull hockey, I am on a few sites that say I'll get gift cards, but I trust them. One because I've already gotten a gift card from that site. However, like I siad, most aren't at all that trustworthy or worth your while. A lot of things have offers. Now, I tend to trust it if it's a competition from say a big company, lol, I've entered those.

I have never entered any competitions online. My husband too, wants me always to compete in those and he's always saying you never know we may win. I have entered a competition in real life though and we won two trips and some free gas for a year. We never went on the trips but we did use the gas money.

I do not enter alot of competitions or drawings like that. We never win anything like that anyway. It is a waste of time for us to even try. We have done it before and never got anything for doing it.

I've entered but I have never won unless it was one of those "sure things" where winning codes were shared online but it's not for much more than say a bottle of soda or pkg of cookies. Though something is better than nothing. Also it depends on how much they want for information if I enter them as well, usually I don't.

I take part in paid surveys and when I don't qualify I'm entered into drawings and sweepstakes. I never win. So I don't actively seek out contests to enter, the odds are too high against my winning. And I'll get tons of spam every time I enter one that's not part of a survey site I belong to.

I enter all the entries that interest me and that I find viable and or that I can do. I enter for prizes or money. Why doesn't he? i would find that alittle weird. He probably doesn't want to take the time to fill them all out so he wants you to do that. There all different types and I don't enter alot of them or it would take all my time.

I went through a phase of doing online competitions and did win a few small things like books/DVDs. I won some stuff to clear the algae from garden ponds... which would have been fine if I even HAD a garden pond. I then kept getting emails from the company wanting me to join their online forum and inviting me to send pictures of my pond and my fish.

Hello jj. I don't enter competitions online nor do I enter competitions in my offline life. But I do train my students for different competitions and they usually win the first or the second prize, which makes me feel very happy.

jugsjugs hi No as every time I enter any contest, I invaribly lose, I am so unlucky that I just gave up after awhile. for a long time when I worked in the library we all put a dollar in the kitty for the California lottery but in the tenyears I did put my dollar in we only won very small amounts and just put that back into the kitty.,after a while I just quit putting my money in the kitty as it was a lost cause for me.

uh uh. Joining a competition seems a far far away experience for me. But that's exciting ! I think it's very couraging. and right before joining it, you have to make a lot of preparation for that. I enjoy the process itself plus the result of course. It's very eye-opening coz you meet more talented people. In the meanwhile, you can even make friends with like-minded people.

Online competitions are fun and exciting. I used to play alot on Iwon and Pogo but I never had much luck myself. I like to compete at everything I do so maybe thats why I have intrest in these online competitions. Think about it it though, if there was an online competion for who could write the best blogs and the prize was a new laptop, wouldnt that fuel your ambitions? Even if you didnt win, it would revive that competative spirit in you to be the best; a prize worth more then any physicall antiquity.
