I was wondering if anyone else buys stuff they don’t need to enter a competition. 😀 and has it paid off.

    Maccas Monopoly comes to mind. Pretty much only time of the year I have Maccas.

    Those competitions are worthless.

  • mskeggs on 04/02/2018 - 20:19

    Never.

    Nah.
    Usually results in SPAM and other annoying behavior.
    Usually don't register warranties either,for the same reason.
    Difficult to get rid of some firms ….. EA Games and Rio Sound and Vision spring to mind.

  • jelko on 04/02/2018 - 20:26

    Never.

    I might buy more of a certain item than I currently need. But it gets stacked away and used over time.

    Only time I think was the KitKat competition years ago to win the Google credit and Nexus 7. Never won the tablet but made hundreds in Gplay credit.

    • akajin on 04/02/2018 - 21:36

      Same,

      I bought 200 KitKats and managed to win 4 Nexus 7 and $400 worth of Google Play Credits.

      • SimpleRoger on 04/02/2018 - 21:45

        Actually???

        • Clear on 04/02/2018 - 22:31

          IIRC you could actually see post codes or suburbs that won and there were a few with several tablet wins.

        • SimpleRoger on 05/02/2018 - 12:18

          @Clear: Is the link still active?

        • SimpleRoger on 05/02/2018 - 22:18

          @akajin: Damn how many did they give out? When was this? KitKats were a dollar each? So $200 for 4 tablets and 400 dollars worth of googleplay. Did you manage the sell the tablets?

        • akajin on 06/02/2018 - 09:22

          @SimpleRoger:

          Around 10 tablets given out every day and $5 google play given every 4 minutes for 100 days.

          If you know how the competition worked there was around 25% chance of winning something.

          I gave away my winnings to friends at half price.

        • SimpleRoger on 06/02/2018 - 11:38

          @akajin: Still a nice fat profit tho

    • wombat81 on 10/02/2018 - 23:00

      Same. I bout around $30 worth of Kit Kats and won a tablet. Still had it until recently. But in general, no, I won't buy crap to enter comps.

    I don't need to buy crap. My spam box is full of competitions I've won

      I never get those. Lots of Russian girls, though.

    Not since I was 10 or so.

    Nah, I take that back. It was just an excuse to eat Paddle Pops.

    Absolutely not.

  • nomoneynoproblems on 05/02/2018 - 06:53

    No, I just straight up gamble instead.

    Yep. Got to go to Rio with Coca Cola as a result. I sometimes will buy things I know I won’t eat (like Oreos) and donate them to foodbank etc. to me it is like getting a raffle ticket for $1 (current price of Oreos in woolworths).
    I also change the brand I am buying if they are of similar price to my usual brand and have a competition attached.

  • Tarara on 05/02/2018 - 09:24

    Yeah, I won a car.

    • jodie1980 on 05/02/2018 - 15:31

      How did you win that

  • lorjim9 on 05/02/2018 - 09:45

    heard about a lady who bought 100s of tim tams to win a years supply have bought certain products but only if its my brand that i buy to enter a competition no never won

  • boomramada on 05/02/2018 - 09:53

    if Yes, you shouldn't be on this site.

  • spackbace on 05/02/2018 - 11:58

    Yep, but meh my overall $$s won outweigh what I've bought

    This is the difference between those who actively enter competitions, and those who don't, and I can see a bunch of names up above that don't touch the comp section of this site.

    It can be a gamble, but some comps have so many instant wins that it's almost a sure thing.

  • AncientWisdom on 05/02/2018 - 12:45

    No.
