A good whinge always helps, so here goes.
I haven't had a single win for a month now. Have put in lots of entries for lots of of comps, but just can't win a thing.
My last prize was tickets to Pinocchio on 24 May, exactly one month ago. And before that, a $100 vouch (yay!) on 9 May.
How's everyone else going?

It's much tougher to win now than it was 20 or even 10 years ago. Many prizes are not that much. I won a hamper this week. It had a teatowel and 2 small boxes of chicken cubes. Hardly a hamper! If by June 30 I get to half of what i expect to win for the year, I'm ok. So far so good.



Prize wins 2014: $37680
Prize wins 2011: $13000
previous years about $25000

The harder you work the luckier you get

My whinge is the flippin Tim Tam competitions, all I seem to be doing is eating stacks of the packs at night piling on the weight and never ever win on them, and yet I cannot stop trying

No one has had a whinge for a good while so I will have a go.

Too many Instagram competitions. I’d prefer comps that require a little more effort to enter so only us compers enter them. Lol.

So true, Mel-Syd

My whinge is that wins have been few this year, so finding my name on a winner's list was nice... until they told me it had accidentally been put there! Waahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

What an awful mistake they made. That must have been so disappointing.

I have really good feelings about 2025. So a nice big win is on its way to us both.

Helgas was the worst in deflating many of us….im still peeved and don’t want to buy the bread eventhough i like the light rye.
Won cards with $10 on from IGA liquor and one of 2 cards wouldn’t work and I was informed after calling I shouldn’t have been sent that one :mad: ….tell all those people waiting behind me in the store

That feels better whinge done :D

Yes the Helgas one was a debacle. You should still buy the variety that you liked regardless as it won't affect their bottom line. It will only punish you so buy it and enjoy it...eventually.

I hear you on that IGA liquor one

I did not have any luck, but my housemate won one

When he went in store to use it, it didn't work, they checked the balance at home

Supposed $10 gift card had $0 on it (and no transactions)

They just simply did not load any money on it, sent it anyway and when my housemate sent them a message to let them know, they got no response

So makes you wonder how many got sent out empty cards :grind:

My whinge is hardly any wins this year. Just over $1000 - I would have spent at least $500. The two years previous were over $15k.

My whinge is no Christmas Instagram comps for me next year. Spent ages entering many daily for 12 days, won zilch. Never again!

In the great compo tradition of WHINGE AND WIN....

C'mom promoters let's make the winners work for it! Too many stealing my prizes by unknowingly getting automatic entries by swiping cards 🙃

Pet peeve here too, a big thumbs down to the huge multi-national companies all the way down to the small startups who are not fulfilling their legal obligation, ignoring their own t&cs and never announcing winner name/s, especially for purchase comps or time-consuming entries.
