Are you feeling lucky? 

I actually won an instant prize on Sunday night through Go Ape’s share and win competition. I’ve entered a few times and have always ended up getting a money-off voucher, which in my book isn’t a win but a discount! But on Sunday I won a Go Ape T-shirt. I do wonder if it was to do with the time I entered; a lot of compers swear by either entering early in the morning, late at night or even in the middle of the night. They say it gives them a higher chance as not many others are entering at those times. And I did enter the comp fairly late in the evening; all the other times have been in the middle of the day. It does make you wonder…I’d be interested to know what you think on instant wins.  Please do get in touch and let me know. 

 

And talking of winning, take a look at this week’s competitions! I’ve found some high-value promotions for you to try your hand at – good luck!
