I was wondering how many of you actually send off prize crosswords. And if so do you win? I tend just to do those and get the occasional prize. The best was the £100 Crusader crossword. I would like to hear.

This question has often been asked on this site.You may well be very surprised at how many regular contributors have won.I have never ,although I only send the really hard ones in.

I don't, as I almost never complete one without help from this forum and prefer to save my stamps (bought a lot before the last price increase)

I used to send them in about 20 years ago - never won anything so I gave up

Also,my grandfather sent in a correct Times one every week from (I suppose) whenever they atarted until he died aged 90 in about 1959; he never won either.

I just do them for the enjoyment of trying to beat the setter .Almost never happens !

Only if they can be emailed - very rare.

I usually send them in if I finish them, no luck so far. My dad and I have an ongoing competition to try to win the gold pen offered as a prize in The Scotsman Weekend Crossword- I dream on!

I won a £20 M&S voucher a few years ago from a local advertiser - before I joined or even knew about the forum.
At least it proved to me that my entry actually went into the draw!
