    When Elizabeth Longair first started entering competitions, little did she know how much her life was about to change…

    After having entered the comps, it didn’t take long for the prizes to start rolling in: a brand new bed… concert tickets… goody bags galore… cinema tickets… and biggest of all, an unforgettable trip to Paris.

    Amazingly, Elizabeth won ALL of these prizes in under 6 months. And every single win brought that same thrill, that same excitement. She says…

    “I read Winner’s Friend and have to say it has transformed my life. Every day is now an exciting potential prize winning day. My son has also started comping and we race each other to the post every morning. My working hours whizz by now as I try to work out tie-breakers and slogans in my head!”

    Elizabeth had discovered one of the best-kept secrets about comping… its power to change your life, add sparkle to your day and that extra tingle of excitement every time you hear the post land on your doormat!

From a trip to the Big Apple to meeting the Manchester United team, the money can’t buy prizes you’ll never forget

    Winner’s Friend member Christine Williams knows about this first-hand. Last year, she won a staggering 54 prizes – that’s more than one a week! They included all kinds of treats, from a DVD player and mountain bike, to a fabulous trip to New York with £100 spending money. Her oddest prize of the year was a decorative toilet seat!

    Or how about Karen Moses’ daughter? She won a prize football fans would die for… the chance to be a mascot for Manchester United! Karen reported back to us on the special day, saying “It was the most wonderful prize we had ever won... Jade and Cullum, my 11-year old son, were able to go down the tunnel and meet all the players – Jade was so overcome at meeting them, and nearly passed out! All in all it was a prize that money can’t buy and has given us such unforgettable memories.”

    New experiences, unforgettable memories that money can’t buy – that’s the life-changing power of comping! Best of all, this life-changing power is available to you, right now! In this special issue of Winner’s Friend, you’ll discover how you could join Elizabeth, Christine, Karen and our other readers, and win fantastic prizes like these, with the help of Britain’s best comping club ever!

In no time, you could find yourself living a whole new, exciting lifestyle – the life of a prize-winner! Who knows what brilliant prizes you’ll get your hands on?

    Perhaps just weeks from now you’ll be shopping until you drop in Beverly Hills like Gayla Holden did or relaxing on a spa break like Sue Wallace when she won a recent Morrisions/Nescafe competition… or spending a whopping £10,000 on your home at MFI, like Julia Gilbert did when she won a Home Beautiful competition last August…


Win the prizes you love

    This special issue has been put together especially for you, to give you a taste of what it’s like to be a member of the Winner’s Friend Comping Club and win prize after prize.

    You’ll meet some of our members who’ll tell you their own amazing stories, and you’ll also have the chance to try some of our very own comps for yourself today. If you like today’s issue, then we’ve got a very special and unusual offer for you – what you could call a ‘win-win’ situation…

    You’ll be able to sample the Winner’s Friend Comping Club for a whole year completely risk-free and with no obligation. We’ll even send you a fabulous welcome pack to get you started, and will submit an entry for you into our prize draw to win £1,000 Cash.

    How’s that for a great deal? Take a look on the right at what one of our members, Nicola Allen has won this year...

    If you think Nicola must just be unusually lucky, think again. Because she isn’t the only Winner’s Friend Club Member to enjoy a sudden run of fabulous prizes… take Sarah Griffiths from Lowestoft, who writes,“Now I know why I love comping! Monday’s post brought me a cheque for £20 from a Nestle text comp, Tuesday brought Finding Nemo stickers and a video, Wednesday delivered £100 of vouchers for PC World/Dixons from the Royal Mail and Thursday brought a letter from Woman’s Own mag telling me I’d won £1,000 from their crossword which I’d entered in March! Friday saw me in Dixons spending my vouchers… WHAT A WONDERFUL WEEK!”

A Holiday to New York    Or how about Heather Hodgkinson? She won first prize of a fantastic Kia Sportage XSE Special Edition car, worth a cool £12,995! Heather and her husband Steve have also scooped up a romantic Valentine’s night stay in a hotel, gym membership, a holiday in the Maldives, a Chinese cooking kit, clothes vouchers, a weekend in Amsterdam and travel vouchers!

    This kind of serial-winning lifestyle could easily be yours! All it takes is a few minutes per week, the help of the Winner’s Friend Comping Club and the willingness to just GO FOR IT! In return, you get to enjoy an amazing life where even the most mundane activities can be a cause for celebration! Take picking up the morning post for example…


Spice up your morning post with the thrill of comping!

    There’s nothing like the thrill of opening a letter and reading the first line that says ‘CONGRATULATIONS, YOU’VE WON!’. In fact, when you’re a Winner’s Friend member, checking the morning post is never quite the same again – as Mrs C told us, “I really love my ‘win’derful hobby. Every morning is a bright new beginning looking forward to the postman, the van deliveries and my emails.”

    We couldn’t have put it better ourselves, Mrs C! But it’s not just the excitement of winning that adds an extra sparkle to your life… it’s also the prizes themselves.

    You see, there are prizes that take you places you’d never go to otherwise, or which introduce you to people you’d never otherwise meet – experiences that money just can’t buy.

    Member Gina Potter recently won an amazing winter holiday in Canada - somewhere her husband had always dreamt of going. They went on a ski safari, snow shoeing and a fantastic husky ride. Its a dream holiday they will never forget.

    Winifred Rhodes actually overcame her fear of flying when her husband David won free flights to Tenerife. Up until then, she’d won loads of amazing prizes: cash, bikes, food hampers, weekend breaks… but her fear of flying had prevented her from entering holiday comps. .

    When David won the holiday, she actually beat the fear that had gripped her for years and made it on the plane to Tenerife. Here’s what she wrote:

“I have to say IT WAS WONDERFUL.The time on the plane went so fast we were in Tenerife, enjoying the sun in four hours.We had a fantastic holiday. In fact we enjoyed it so much that we are going back this month…. “Needless to say, I enter every single competition for a holiday now, as a disabled comper I was scared to before, but a whole new world has opened up to me.”

    That’s the amazing thing about winning prizes… suddenly new doors open and you experience a sense of adventure, trying new things, going to new places, meeting new people.

    It’s thrilling, it’s exciting and it’s what life is like with Winner’s Friend!


With over 200 new competitions in every issue, you’ll be spoilt for choice!

    Most of our members like to set themselves a postage stamp budget to determine how many comps they go for each month. And with over 200 new comps in every issue, the hardest thing about being a Club member is choosing which ones to enter.

    One month you might enter comps to win music vouchers, DVDs and round-the-world tickets… perhaps another month you’ll go for a £10,000 cash prize draw or a set of kitchen saucepans to name a few!

    Whatever you fancy,Winner’s Friend gives you the edge over the average comper, making you one of the most likely people in Britain to win prizes, just like Nicola, Gina and Heather! Why? Well, three main reasons…

1: We uncover the ‘obscure’ comps, giving you bigger chances of winning!
    So many of the comps we uncover are what we call ‘hidden gems’ – comps that most people never get to know about. That means hardly anyone enters them, taking your chances of winning into the stratosphere!

2: We’ll screen all the comps, so you never have to worry about scams.
    There are thousands of bona fide competitions going on out there right now… but there are also a few bogus ones set up by fraudsters. Thankfully, as a Winner’s Friend reader, you’ll be well protected. We screen every competition we come across, so you can be completely confident that all the comps we publish are legitimate and above board.

    This really can make all the difference when winning prizes – take Winner’s Friend comper Delia Billingham from Luton. She won a fantastic holiday to Japan because the two people who were chosen to win before her thought the phone call was a hoax! Because she was confident that the comp she’d entered was legitimate, she got what she called ‘the chance of a lifetime’!


3: We give you expert advice that gives you the edge over the average comper!
    We put all our comping knowledge to work for you, giving you all the tips and tricks to help you win that most compers never get to know about.This priceless knowledge can put you way ahead of other compers and dramatically increase your chances of winning! Take tie-breakers for example…

From a trip to Ascot, to a luxury holiday in Egypt… you really can win prize after prize!


    After a three-month lean spell, Nicola Allen was beginning to think the postman had forgotten about her.

    How wrong she was. In the space of just two weeks she won:





A trip to Ascot for six people with a three-course lunch and horse race named after her
Tickets to the MOBOs at the Royal Albert Hall where she met the bands and had lunch at the Hard Rock Café
A family ticket to Chessington
An Appletiser picnic rucksack
A meal for two
Tickets to a local beer festival with a £20 voucher


    Can you imagine winning that many prizes in just two weeks? But the best thing is, these are just a handful of the brilliant prizes Nicola’s won in the past year!

    She told me, “In the past year I’ve met Gareth Gates, dined with Jonathan Ross, took my niece with ten of her friends to the circus where she got to be mistress and they all enjoyed popcorn, drinks, ice cream and candyfloss.

    “I also had two holidays – one at the Four Seasons in Egypt and one staying in the Maison Belle Epoque in France…

    “I love all competitions and one of the things I like best is that they offer the most exciting, fun, money-can’t-buy prizes.”


Nicola with Jonathon Ross









A Mini One    Some competitions ask you to write a short slogan or poem as part of your entry. This is called a tie-breaker and if you’ve never written one before, you’re in luck… because we’ll show you exactly how to make your entry stand out to the judges.

    Our years of experience in the industry mean we can tell you the kind of tie-breakers that different companies like.

    That’s not all… every month we dedicate an entire section of our magazine to Winning Lines – a complete list of the most recent tie-breakers that have impressed the judges and won.

    Our resident expert Martin Dove reveals what made these entries shine and how to use these techniques yourself. It’s a great way to hone your own tie-breaking talents and get some creative inspiration!


Rhyme your way to the prizes you’d love to win!

    As well as revealing which tie-breakers have won amazing prizes in every issue of Winner’s Friend, we’d also like to send you our essential guide to writing tie-breakers, absolutely free!

    Called Winning Lines, this fascinating book gives you a list of hundreds of winning slogans chosen by dozens of companies that run competitions.You’ll discover what BMW like to see and what winners Marks and Spencer have chosen in the past - this book is like giving you the keys to the sweetshop!

    This book isn’t available anywhere else.You won’t find it in the shops or for sale by mail order.You can only get this book through our comping club and we’d like to send you a copy absolutely FREE!

    Of course, not every competition demands a tie-breaker. Sometimes you just have to answer a question or two - in which case we’ll give you the answer! You’ll find loads of simple prize draws too, where all you have to do is send in your name and address, keep your fingers crossed and wait for that special phonecall telling you you’ve won!

    Whatever kind of competition you want to enter, you’ll find everything you need to win it in Winner’s Friend. It’s just so easy! With just a few minutes per week, some 2nd class stamps and a ‘go for it’ approach, you could be winning a brand new Mini Cooper, £5,000, a trip to Australia or loads of fun treats from DVDs to pampering kits, month in, month out!

“I’ve been comping for years with not much success, so I subscribed to Winner’s Friend last October. Reading my fellow comper’s letters, I was a bit sceptical, thinking ‘can a magazine really change my fortunes?’ Well, you did and all I can say is THANK YOU,THANK YOU and THANK YOU… it’s now 12 months on, and I win an average of 2 prizes a month, with a best yet of a £1,000 cheque!”
Jane McIntyre, Inverness
“Since I discovered Winner’s Friend I have all the competition information I need delievered to my door and weekly updates by email to my computer. I have since won 8 more prizes and now every day is fun, wondering what the postman might bring. I can’t recommend Winner’s Friend too highly - it’s like being a member of a friendly club.”
Sue from Reading
“Just a short note to say how pleased I am that I have subscribed to Winner’s Friend. I never knew such a thing existed. It’s the best thing I have bought for years - money well spent I’d say! This is new for me as I never knew comping would be so much fun!”
Jackie Cotton, Romford

    All of these members – and hundreds more – are having wonderful fun every day as they comp through Winner’s Friend… and now I’d like to invite you to join them!

“I won a £52,000 TVR Super Car...”!


    How’s this for a fabulous prize – when Andrew Budge from Bodmin was told he’d won a TVR in an Auto Trader competition, even he couldn’t believe it!

    “The next day I had to phone back to ensure it wasn’t a joke”, he told us. “I drive a 4x4 at the moment, but I’ve always wanted a two-seater sports car!”


    The competition was launched by lovely Scottish TV presenter Gail Porter at the Motor Show Live event.

    Andrew’s keen to put foot to metal and take the mighty 400bhp, straight six engine through its paces and experience its awesome acceleration of 0-60mph in less than 4 seconds – all within the speed limit of course!
