The no win grumble
I just feel like posting an "OMG, I never win, I am a loser, feel sorry for me I hope you all die" post. Really more like an "I did win in the past, I'm not really a loser, and I hope you all live happily ever after, but you can still feel sorry for me, you bastards."

I mean, with so many year end competitions and prizes, I didn't even get a key-ring. I feel so left out!

Stand next to me on the tube and I can solve your problem with the new wallet.

I didn't win anything either... Maybe participating is the right tactics for these competitions?

Plenty of more contests in the future and ya know what?

I don't enter them to win anything anymore just for the fun ... I have been blessed enough over the years

Re: The no win grumble
btw.. technically.... the odds of winning are better then 1 in 150,000 considering that number of prizes that are up for grabs......

you have to be a member to get into the competitions

I agree thinking of entries to the competitions is part of the fun. But imagining I'm going to win something is also part of the fun.

It's nowhere near that. Often 1 in a thousand or so or even better. Still pretty low, but if you enter enough competitions... Trust me, I always thought I was unlucky but I've won several things online in recent years (some inexpensive items, some pretty valuable).

Still, just in this particular case, with so many prizes, I figured everyone will get something, which is why I was disappointed that some people won multiple items and others (me) didn't.

Judas, I don't really need a key-ring. You can keep it and have fun with it (as much fun as you can have with a key-ring, and I'm sure that's quite a bit of fun with enough imagination). It was just, as I described above, an "I posted and voted and didn't get anything?" moment. It passed. I'm okay now. Especially since others didn't win either, so I don't feel singled out.
