Anyone won?...

[Jemisa]

Was just wondering, we see lots of people asking for help with 'Crosswords, Puzzles etc often saying its for a prize or money, but how many have won anything after the help ABers give them?
Anyone won the jackpotor even a booby prize?
It would be interesting to know...

Don't jem because I always snigger when I see a post saying "I won!!"..........no you didn't 'cos you probably got half the answers from here.

most of the puzzles I enter are for things not money. Did win £100 several years ago.

I can never be bothered to post them. I'm just pleased if I complete one.

I won £25 about 1998 but that was before I had a computer and you kind people to help me. Just used reference books. Nary a sniff since.

£250 a few years ago but that was after years of trying. Probably spent five times that amount on postage and envelopes!!!!!!!!!

We dont bother sending any off. We just enjoy doing them. Keeps the little grey cells working :>)

Well no one has said that their win was directly to do with help by ABers, seems a bit timewasting to me. I would like to think if I put time and effort into helping with a crossword or puzzle for someone they were going to benefit by it.
BTW, I won £25 on the prem/bonds 50 years ago, I suppose by todays value it would be like winning £100.

lcg, Wow you seem a lucky person, that 6k do you mean £6.000?
I think I'd like to have a rub against you...
