Top 5 competitions to enter right now!
It’s easy to enter competitions – but of course, it’s much harder to win them! But knowing the right type of comps to enter will give you a better chance of a prize.
This blog post will be kept up to date with current prize draws or competitions where I believe you have a great chance of winning a prize. These are likely to be creative, purchase-necessary or comps with a LOT of smaller prizes – and I’ll try to include a range of different types of prize promotions, so you can start learning which ones are the best to have a go at!
Good luck – let me know if you win any of my top competitions!

Just won a free 250g pouch of Uncle Ben’s thanks Di
Great – keep on entering to win the cash every day!
I’ve just won £20 with Uncle Ben’s – thanks Di!
Excellent, congrats!
Think everybody’s overloaded the Nectar Points spin & win – both links give a 502 Proxy error & other bits of the site our broken.
^ are.
Yes, apparently Nectar changed it to email invite only! So I’ve replaced with the Asda text to win.
Hi Di, thank you for your website, I entered Liverpool FC competition last month and today I just received my prize ,it was a football kit for my son, we couldn’t believed it !
That’s brilliant – well done!
winner
Hi Di,
I’m new to this but I’ve seen a text comp in The Sun to win an electric Corsa.
Is this worth entering? Texts cost £2
Thanks
Personally I wouldn’t enter by text – it’s widely advertised and is likely to get well over 100,000 entries! If you check the details there’s other entry options – you can also enter by collecting seven Sun Savers codes between 12 & 24 October, and entering them on the Sun Savers website or app (check Money Saving Expert as it’s likely a member may share the codes on a comping forum!)
You could send a postcard too, which would save you a bit of money as you’d only need to buy a second class stamp! It’s always worth checking if there’s a cheaper option for premium rate text competitions, like this one or the ITV ones. “Enter by post by sending your name and contact number to SUN VAUXHALL COMPETITION, P.O. Box 4445, Colchester, CO2 8GD. Max one postal entry. “
Thank you
Hello! I have entered the perfect match competition for many days now but I still haven’t won 🙁 do you have any tips that could give me some luck. Thanks.
I’ve entered every day since it began, at all hours of the day and still haven’t won a prize! Although many of my readers have won all 4 prizes – a TV, soundbar, bean bag AND a snack pack! Unfortunately we just have to keep plugging away. If there’s another household member, get them to enter daily too so you can double your chances. Unfortunately we only have a few days left of this one!
Hi Di, love the tips on competitions, i won a tv with the Pepsi comp! I entered at 5am and couldn’t believe i won,
Good luck everyone, stay safe and keep entering!
That’s great news James – enjoy it!
Hi, just wondering if the B.O.B Milk competition is a daily entry or once only draw, Thank you
Daily prize draws, so complete your details every day!
They only announced two winners for the Roddas Competition this week? I thought it was 3 winners every week.
Yes, it should be three every week – how odd!
HI DI HAVE YOU GOT THE WIN THE CAPTAIN WIN MAYNARDS SWEETS CODE ON BACK OF PACKETS 1ST MAY UNTIL 31ST JULY
How do you calculate the exact number of your bills. You include mortgage, electricity, water and internet?
I just dawned on me that they announce the amount onthw radio. Duh
Hey Di,
Just to let you know that the Tesco comp ended yesterday.
thx
J
Thanks James – I’ve replaced with the new Pepsi competition!
i BOUGHT 2 kIT kATS ENTERD THE COMPETITION AND IT WOULD NOT ACCEPT EITHER CODE WRITTEN INSIDED THE WRAPPER. i HAD SOMEONE ELSE CHECK THESE CODES.
I presume you’re talking about this one Catherine? https://www.kitkat.co.uk/make-a-break-for-it – are you certain you didn’t pick up products with last year’s (similar) promotion on?
Have you seen the Hairbo 25 years of star mix competition starts 3rd Feb it is one when you have a code on the sweet packet that takes you through to an entry form. Cant find much on the terms and conditions but looks like a lot of prizes https://hariboprizes.com/faqs this ink give some info
Yes! I picked up a few bags yesterday (much to my son’s delight) and will be posting about it soon!
Thank you so much Di, I’ve just seen this in time to enter the Asda Innovations Awards comp. Also the Walkers/Tesco one, a nice lot of prizes for these two. Fingers crossed.
Thank you.. I am a bit worried about following so many new companies on Twitter at once.. don’t want to receive a ban.. (M&S hamper) ..
M&S hampers comp completed
Thank you. Will take a look
Thanks Di, have done a couple of the comps, just need purchases for the others.
How many times can you enter the swizzels competition?
I’ve asked them and they replied ‘as many times as you like!’ – good luck!
Brill thank you for checking. I take it they didn’t say that you was limited to one a day like the pringles one?
They didn’t say, Melanie – just ‘as many times as you like’ – I think if it was random winners then they would put a limit on entries.
