I loved it. I treated it like a fulltime job. I kept a spreadsheet of every comp I entered with frequency, where I'd found it, the prize, closing date and if I'd won. My win rate was about 1:150 I think and I won a holiday to Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt from a comp on the back of a Sainsburys cereal box, 2 trips to Paris, lots of electronics, books, dvds and cds, and other miscellaneous things. I stopped doing it seriously several years ago but still enter the odd thing and win occasionally, although nothing significant. I have dabbled in entering larger numbers of comps over the years but find it so time consuming and also the days of NPN comps seem to have gone, so many seem to require purchases these days that I stopped bothering altogether with those.
