2 years ago I won Daily Mail wish list worth £3,200, not a lot since, Dr. Who book, 2 bags for life, £20 M&S voucher for Simply Prizes crossword, make-up, Carling T-shirt, still waiting for the big one and not for the want of trying as I enter hundreds of competitions a month, thank goodness for email.

I have sent in The Observer Everyman almost every week for years. I"m not interested in the prize - just the satisfaction/gratification of winning it. But I console myself by thinking of the article, featured in The Observer many years ago, of a reverend gentleman who had submitted Everyman for something like 50 years. On the Sunday following his death his name appeared as a winner. Maybe I can do without the edification.....

Thanks, Tonta, for the big grin-maker on an otherwise grimbo day

Last year I was lucky enough to have won just under £1000 ..... mainly from the Daily/Sunday Express and Daily Mail. Hope I can improve this year ...... to cover my postage ! lol ;o)

I have been doing 'The Week' crossword for the past couple of years and very early on I won one of their Pure radios. I have to admit I couldn't believe that I'd actually won something !

Does anyone know if you have more chance by EMailing answers (if relevant) or to send in post?

I've won 4 Mephistos over the last year entering them via their web site - on the other hand I've been entering the Guardian weekly prize xword via the web for several years and the only time I've won their dictionary was via a postal entry. Take your pics!

Over the last 15 years I've won the Sat DT Cryptic 4 times. Once as a main prizewinner and 3 as a runner-up. It's the luck of the draw and I guess I've been lucky. Keep on sending them in and good luck!!

i won the Daily Record Saturday crossword in November. My friend has won it twice and a colleage has won the Tuesday one. So keep trying.
