Mephisto

[Quizmonster]

I've just won the Mephisto...again! I mentioned here the fact that I'd won one first and two consolation prizes in that competition within the space of just a few weeks last summer. And here we go once more.
The postcard informing me doesn't say whether it's a first or a consolation this time, but what the heck am I going to do with yet another Bloomsbury Dictionary if it's the first? A pair would make a handy kitchen steps, I suppose.
At least - for people who ask if it's possible to win these things more than once - I can offer them a resounding "Yes!"

Congratulations, Quizmonster. Great news, and news which gives renewed hope to the rest of us strugglers.
Well done, indeed.

Well done QM..congratulations .....I had a little win this week too ! Not on anything as complicated as Mephisto though !

[kayakamina]

Well done QM1 ! I remember when you had that winning run last year you said that the secret was to put your entries in the names of partners and family members as the same people never won twice.!

As I had a Mephisto win some time ago I have been following your advice ever since- but no success. I bet you did it in your own name again?

Congratulations K

Congratulations Quizmonster! And I called you Quizmaster earlier this week!

[Murielmci]

Well done!

I too am a serial winner (but not Mephisto where I was once a runner up) so it is possible. It really is just the luck of the draw.

[Murielmci]

At least it is the luck of the draw after the hard work of completing the puzzle is concerned - lol!

Congratulations Quizmonster.! I, too, have won my fair share of dictionaries and I find that they make very welcome raffle prizes for local charities.

Congratulations, Quizmonster - pleased to hear of another success. I do the Azed crossword every week and have done so for donkeys' years, but no success to date (prize is a very tempting �25 book). I'll keep trying.

Well done Quizmonster - hope it's the start of a run of good luck for you

Congratulations Quizmonster, makes it all worth while doesn't it?

[Quizmonster]

Thank you all so much...you're very kind.

What actually happened last summer, Kayakamina, was that - having convinced myself I'd never win again under my own name - I then entered once or twice in my partner's name...same address, of course. When one of those won, I grasped that they did not consult any record of winners' addresses at least. Thus emboldened, I reverted to entering as myself and, within weeks, had won again! And yet again now.
The message would, therefore, seem to be...just keep bashing 'em in!
