Prize Crosswords

[Xword_addict]

Have any of you ever won the Sunday Express, Mail on Sunday or Daily Express prize crosswords?

[Jamjar74]

Had a runner-up prize in Sunday Express Skeleton Crossword a few years back. Nothing since. My only claim to fame!!

[joycedwight]

Yes I won 25 pounds in the You mag.

I won �1000 on the Express General Knowledge in August 2003, it took a few weeks for the cheque to arrive I have a photo of it!

Many years ago whilst studying law, I did the FT cryptic out of sheer boredom; I sent it in not expecting anything to happen but I got a runner-up prize which if I remember correctly was a voucher for an 'exclusive' pen shop in London. Terrible prize, was so disgusted I never bothered to cash it in...that's why I only do the S.Express crosswords: money. The M.O.S. prizes are rubbish - a dictionary and a pen: who doesn't already have those!!??

My Mother won You mag a couple of years ago - was really chuffed.

I won a bottle of champagne, two packs of smoked salmon, belgian chocolates and tub of caviar about eight years ago. Ate the chocs and salmon, the dogs had the caviar (later found out worth about �70) and the champagne is still in the bottom of the fridge. Still don't know which comp I won it in as there was no letter with the prize!

[Elrick]

On the 24th April, this year, I won the Mentathlon prize in the Daily Express, consisting of a goody bag of Turtle Wax products, worth �80.00. Lo and behold, but just two weeks later, I won the Mentathlon prize AGAIN. This time it was a copy of "Mr Site's Takeaway Website Pro", which enables you to set up a business web site. That's worth �99.99. Not bad for two phone calls, is it ? I have a couple of philosophies which I believe are quite true in life, namely, "If you don't enter, you don't win" and "If you don't ask, you don't get."

[Crasher!]

I've won �25 on the Skeleton last year and some goodies on the Sportsword quiz all Sunday Express. I don't read the tory rag just buy it for the prize crosswords.

[gabbychick]

Yes,I won £25 for the Skeleton crossword early last year followed by another £25 for the Skeleton 2 months later.

[paulelborn]

I won a dictionary and thesorus from the Mail on Sunday

[parkie]

I won first prize in the Mail on Sunday, You mag about 2 years ago (can't remember how much at that time) but nothing before or since.

[brosecomp]

i know a few people have won the mail on sunday quiz, but are any of you in the London area? doubt it. Seems no one in that area ever wins.
