I live in Norhern Ireland and regularly enter this crossword competition. (For GB folks there is also a Republic of Ireland edition which is judged separately). Over the past two years I have won the top prize of �100 twice and the runner up prize �20 (six each week) another 8 or 9 times. Very inspiring indeed.!!! I also recognise regular winners each week from the prize winners list. I have been entering the You Magazine (Mail on Sunday)for 20+(?) years - 9 winners each week and have never had success. I also do the Sunday Express and Mail on Sunday but no success there either!
Congratulations sheerdelight, I had my first win
in the Sunday World a few weeks back, thought
that would be it, might starting posting it in again.
I do all there other crossword but only had one win
in the Express. I notice the Daily Star (an Express
sub) tell you that you will not be picked for 3 months
after a win. ? well at least we know not to waste
money on postage.
Good luck and have a wonderful Christmas.
