Congratulations on the win. But you really should quit whilst your ahead. The odds on these things are absolutely terrible, work it out yourself, all the info is there. Take your prize and run.

Just be careful it's the legit site as there have been clone dodgy sites on FB if your just using a browser. A few of them have apps now so you can be sure they are legit. YWC, CGG etc

I have won..

£2.5k RT4 boat
MF60 bedchair
Fox duralite 5 season system
avid bivvy
delkim txi'd bite alarms
plenty of bait n hookbait packs
Set of rods - took cash instead
1 weeks session for 2 at norton disney
RM barrow carryall
fox ruckall
fox r series racksack
Avid safe landing net
fox eos 46" landing net
RM throwing stick
Trakker bino's
Trakker cooking set
Trakker delux utensils and toaster
Reuben scales


That's just what I remember.

ps. the odds can vary quite heavily - the likes of capital carp are worse than some others..... obviously the fella is cashing in on his name.....

ps. compared to the lottery etc the odds are pretty good, the sellers usually take 2 x the value of the kit if all tickets sold but this can vary.

That's a good haul, do you know roughly what you have spent on tickets? The maths would say that you are either very lucky or really enjoy a flutter.

i don't think it's a coincidence that first time players win good prizes...a bit like the heroin dealer saying have a couple of bags on me.....they know theyre getting their worth back and more.....im not suggesting anyone below is an addict to carp comps or heroin lol...there's always alot of first time winners on their first go announced...coincidence?? I don't think so

I started playing the Uk carp competitions a couple of months back.
Only a couple of quid a week on bits I fancied.
The other week they had an offer on if you spent £3 or more. So I bought a 99p ticket on a set of Basiars. You know what's coming next. Yep I won them.
I took the cash offered £1200
But like people have said someone has to win and I'm not spending a fortune.
Just only do what you can afford to lose.
There's a VW caddy being drawn on Sunday so I'm in with a couple of quid 👍

Definitely worth having a punt on these for the price of a ticket
I had the same thing it popped up on my social media so I had a go
First draw I entered I won
A set of daiwa daiwa basia x45 tt alps x3 I was offerd £1350 cash alternative
Then in the next draw on the same evening I won 15k cash

Had a punt again a couple of weeks after and won a korda chair and also a rt4 bait boat although I got given 2.5k cash alternative.

I have also won on some of the instant wins a head torch and few spools of line etc

It's all down to luck I spent no more that 15 quid when I won the 15k and the rods and for the bait boat I spent £8.80.

A few years ago my son won £5K of Wychwood Tackle on a free magazine competition, I won a few things on the same thing, I won a set of Nash RS1s, a load of bait, and a load of Fox terminal tackle but I have never had a go at these big competitions, how can anyone win a VW T5 van worth a small fortune? they would have to sell an awful lot of tickets to even cover the cost, would this be a scam ?? I have no idea but the guys doing these competitions started with tackle and now onto vehicles
