Hi, my name's Rebecca, I'm 37 and I'm from Preston and I have won over £35,000 at competitions.
00:07
Comping is essentially the art of entering competitions en masse in order to win prizes
00:14
and I've been doing it for seven years. I started doing it when I was pregnant with
00:20
my little boy and I started to realise how much stuff a baby needed and I remember just
00:25
feeling really overwhelmed and I thought, "You know what, let's try and enter a few
00:30
competitions and see if we can win something." And two weeks later I won my first prize which
00:34
was a hamper full of baby products and I was just like, "Brilliant, right, I like this
00:39
hobby, I'm going to keep on doing it." This is probably one of my favourite prizes, it's
00:43
a KitchenAid mixer and all I needed to do to win this was to buy a packet of stork margarine
00:50
and take a picture of my receipt and enter an online form and I was one of the weekly
00:54
winners for the KitchenAid mixers so I was really pleased with that. I've actually won
00:58
four holidays. We've had a trip to Poland, a trip to Milan, the Isle of Man and a spa
01:04
break in the Cotswolds and these are all wonderful experiences that I just wouldn't have been
01:09
able to go on usually without comping. So the buzz of winning for me is always the same,
01:13
whether it's a small prize or a larger prize and I try and enter competitions that I think
01:18
my family will really value but I lost my mum a few years ago from breast cancer and
01:24
it really, I found her death quite traumatic and I think just having something that I can
01:29
do in the evening when the children are asleep to take my mind off things, as cheesy as it
01:35
sounds it's probably saved my life a few times, it just keeps you busy, it keeps you going
01:41
and the thought of winning a lovely prize as well makes you excited. Anybody can win,
01:47
anybody can do this hobby and yeah, that's why I love it.
