Has anyone ever won a big prize in one of those monthly draw competitions?

For example, say Tesco have a ‘Scan your Tesco Clubcard to be in for the chance to win a family holiday to Disneyland Paris!’ I see these types of competitions all the time, and I’m part of tons of freebie and competition groups, yet I never see anyone winning more than £100 cash or something like that.

I've entered a few things through Competition Showroom, filter the comps to sort which have the best Value Ratio and set an Alert for some last minute wins/bargains. I won a Motocross bike a few years ago...

I won 800 Octopoints once. Does that count?
nintendofan2_0@reddit (OP)
Absolutely counts, 800 octopoints more than me! 🤣
variosItyuk@reddit

My mum won 2nd prize of a week’s haven caravan holiday. She got to choose which haven she stayed at and had a choice of anytime outside of august.
Think the first prize was an actual caravan on a site to use whenever.

Not me, but when I was in New York I shared a table at Katz with somebody who had won their trip to New York in the Walkers 'invent a new crisp flavour' competition.

I won a Tassimo in a competition about 15 years ago.
Ok_Aioli3897@reddit
The thing is that afterwards I could find no details of the competition.
I remember entering on Instagram I think but looked there and on my email and there was no mention of it

I won a smart4two car in a free draw once. Super stoked.
stranglekelp@reddit
I have been in a lot of them over the years.
No win yet!
nintendofan2_0@reddit (OP)
We’ll win big one day, I know it!
mpr2009@reddit
Not a monthly one but I won a trip to new York through the heart website
nintendofan2_0@reddit (OP)
Super jealous of that, I would’ve had a heart attack seeing I’ve won that lol
Indie_Barrel_1402@reddit
I’m in the same boat, mate. I scan my card every single time like it’s a religious ritual, but the most I’ve ever 'won' was a voucher for a bag of frozen peas. You’d think with all the data they’re taking, they’d at least throw us a bone once in a while! Fair dinkum, it feels like winning the lottery would be easier at this point.
nintendofan2_0@reddit (OP)
Absolutely, most i’ve won is 50p off bakery and shit like that lol

Not tesco, but a magazine,

nintendofan2_0@reddit (OP)
That’s amazing 😱 my dream is to win a holiday from a competition
