No one has won anything yet. I was lucky to win a big prize last year, so statistically I’m unlikely to win again this year but I’ll still have fun trying!

Been entering for years and never won a sausage, so my optimism may be little jaded, but not so downbeat as to disagree with "you've got to be in it to win it", so here we go again!

Webmaster, hint, hint, spread the joy to long suffering (losing ) supporters please

Not used the power bank camping (it takes 2 people to carry it!) but we lent it to friends during their days-long power cut.

Many years ago won a beach tent, still have it, has done all sorts from it's original use to being taken to work as a santa's grotto for collecting toys. Much loved and used and still functional, but as it is a pop up fingers crossed when taken out of its bag.

To be honest, I have on;y ever won 2 things in life in any kind of competition.

in a Christmas raffle at work A box of cigars (I do not smoke)

My (then girlfriend) and I then won something to go with that,   A glass ashtray. Just over 55 years later, we still have the ashtray, but not the cigars.

Good job i do not go the bookies.

Ancient uncle that sounds like us, me and my wife went to Chester races a few years ago & didn’t win a bean on the last race we backed every horse just so we could say we finally won

I’ve been doing the same lottery numbers for 28 years I think I’ve only won a tenner 10 time max

I’ve only ever won 3 things in my life.

At age 11 I won the award for ‘most promising young gymnast’. I think my promise quickly fizzled out!

At age 18 I won the award for the top A Level grades in my school. It was a silly fake silver trophy which I had to give back the following year.

And then, best of all, about 3 or 4 years ago I won the campsite review prize on here! Talk about the pinnacle of my achievements!

I’ve never won an advent calendar prize though despite entering every year for a long long time! I made my husband join this year to double our chances. If he wins, I am counting it as mine 😉

When I was 13, playing bingo at the village hall, I got a line but was far too shy to call out.

I was lucky to win an excellent 3 man Olpro tent on the forum a few years ago. So can't complain.
I've had premium bonds since 1957 and won nothing.
