Number of entries into competitions

A question about : Number of entries into competitions

I have read a couple of threads today about the number of entries into competitions.

One was for the huge number of entries into the ITV competitions. Another mentioned the daily competition to win a pack of batteries. I thought it might be interesting to have a thread dedicated to listing the number of entries that a particular competition had. So if for example you have had a WEM that states that you have been selected out of 3957 entries to win a pushchair for example, would you mind listing the brief details here, so that we can all see.

Best answers:

• I won Extractor Fans with Quiet Mark - I was told I was selected out of over 7000+ entries.
  There were up to 6 things you could choosefrom so I am unsure as to that was for that particular 'Prize' of for the competition altogether.
• I won a coffee machine which required 5000 entries to click like before a winner was picked, (After the 5000 clicked, a new prize was unlocked.) The machine was worth Ј500 (so I assume 1 in 5000 chance.)
  Another lady contacted me after I won a necklace from a magazine (Postal competition) she said there was over 1000 entries and an extra 150 people had the answer wrong - and some didnt even give an answer!!
  I have won from blog comps, really good prizes too where there has only been 150/200 overall entries.
  Id love to see the coke cola data for the competitions you pay 2 points to enter, I estimate the chances are one in hundreds of thousands.

• I recently won a holiday to LA where there were over 29,000 individual entries and it was a daily so well over 100,000 actual entries, the promotor found it hilarious that I'd entered once!
• A rafflecopter competition that has just finished was to win a box of chocolates. There were 2806 entries in total, but one of the compulsory entry methods was to comment. There were 255 comments.
  At the other end of the spectrum, this competition only had 14 entries. It was an effort comp, so proves that it is worth while spending time on competitions that require you to put effort into them.
• i dont enter loads of fb comps cos i find there are lots and lots of entries, even for small prizes. i try to avoid them unless it is a really big prize!

• Thanks weeowens for posting NationalClubGolfer comp winners plus stats.
  I have had a quick look through and added the thanks totals from MSE and the percentage of the total entries they represent. With "thanks" being between 0.5 and 14.1% of total entries there is not much of or even any connection between MSE entries and total entries.
