Tl & T5
People do buy heaps of mags, remember 2 or so years ago when they had the big hamper stuff up and heaps more people won than were supposed to? Today
Tonight or ACA did a story on it and people regularly bought a few copies each week (and that week won a few hampers). |

In 1995 I won - not a car but a lawn mower and $3000. It was the first time I entered the comp for That's Life - was very excited. As I was only 17
Mum got the lawn mower and the cash went to pay for uni fees.
I have had a break for 13 years and I am hoping my luck returns. Fingers crossed.
PS Mum still uses the lawn mower - it goes a treat.! |

Hi,
My Grandma won the car from Take 5 in April this year....She has been entering ever since the mag first started and couldn't believe her luck!!
She's 80 now so I'm glad it happened while her heart could cope with all the excitement!! LOL |

It's really encouraging to hear about people winning any prize let alone the major prizes like cars...wonderful!
I am yet to win anything at all, but I must admit I became discouraged and almost gave up on entering comps..however, that's all about to change since
joining this site tonight/today Congrats to all who have won! |

I know of someone who won a car. I used to buy both mags every week and never won a thing. Didnt like the mags at all, only bought for the puzzles.
Gave up though as I think you have more chance winning other comps that you can enter for free. |

Glad to hear of your Grandmas win. Hopefully, with 5 unclaimed cars recently, one of us will win soon.
I love the mags, I like the stories and the fact that there are lots of competions its a bonus. The only magazine I've ever brought regularly. I
wouldn't buy it if it was only stories and I wouldn't buy it if it was only competitions. For me its a perfect mix of articles and comps. Most the
prizes are rubbish though but every week there will be one lucky winner of a car...thats motivation enough. |

Unclaimed cars???? Do you actually have to look for your name in the winners list? Do they not contact you? I had no idea! |

no there was a comp for ten cars and only 5 were won instantly (a special card on the front of the mag) so 5 would have gone to the second chance
draw, they contact you I know a person who won one (of the normal every week ones)
When the world says give up
HOPE WHISPERS
try it one more time.......

I did! Won a couple of months ago and I could not have been more surprised. I buy Take 5 and That's Life every week but never really expected to win
any of the big prizes. I had actually been seriously contemplating whether or not I should keep buying them just two months before my win. My only
wins from those mags (2 years of entering) up to that point had been a $6 puzzle book and a ceramic bath set that broke in the post. |

I won $200 a couple of years ago, but I've since spent more than that buying the mags and postage.
A friend of mine has won a few of the ring-to-wins. I was looking at the winners list in the mag the other day - and one person won two prizes in the
same ring-to-win comp, so maybe they don't have so many entries (or she was really lucky!). So I've started entering the ring-to-wins to see if I
have more luck (though only when I really really want the prize - i hate spending money on entries!).
I don't think there is much chance on winning with the puzzles, and I must admit, that most weeks I look through the prize list and hope that I DON'T
win a lot of the prizes (cause they're crap!), but you never know, maybe one day the car - or even a TV or fridge would do nicely. |

My mum won the cars ( yes there were two of them as one prize). It was about 10 years ago when the magazine was in its early days. |

Wow, I didn't realise they gave cars away every week. I thought it was just small stuff. I might have to start buying the mags and entering. I believe
there's even somewhere on here that gives the answers every week? |

I love the magazines, my nanna and ring each other if we are stuck on a puzzle to get the answer. She's been doing it for years and only won a take 5
tealight set. I've been doing them both each week for about 1 and a half years and won
--$50
_ A take 5 alarm clock
_A cleaning pack
small stuff but every win counts and hopefuly one day I will win something bigger. You gotta be in it to win it!!! |

Hi Sanderling
When I won the car in 2009 I had my home phone number, work number and mobile on my entry form. They kept ringing my work number and my work collegue
would answer the phone as I was out of the office. They rang about three times and he said they would not give him a return number and he said I must
of won something. I relayed to him it was probably related to Scouts as I was the Secretary/treasurer at the time and laughed it off
I received a call on the Tuesday morning prior to the next edition of TL! being released on the Wednesday in which my name would have appeared in and
yes I had won a car I was shaking for an hour at least and posted my win on
lottos It was an amazing feeling and one I will never forget The response from this site was awesome |

When I was Contacted I Had entered and forgotten so when she said who she was and Rattled on about the Weather for awhile I thought It was Like a
Telemarketing call and when she said why she was ringing I literally fell of my Chair because It was the last thing I expected to hear 
Nearly 7 years now so I'm waiting for the next car win |

I've won a few small things through both mags. If i win a car it will be the week after i take out a huge loan to buy a new one knowing my luck. I'm
frantically entering all car comps cause my car is about to die at any moment too the point when it runs out of rego I'm selling it for parts cause
its not worth reregistering. |

I entered Take 5 for a few years straight and never won a thing.
Years later I gave it another go and decided I would set myself a goal of 12 months and see what happens.
As it got closer to the 12 month mark and no win i gave up.
A few months later, after putting Take 5 to the back of my mind, I received a lovely surprise in the mail of various full season DVD's from a second
chance draw. I was thrilled.
Now I enter here and there, never checking the winners list, but hoping for a surprise win. |

I'm moving to Alice Springs and/or Bunbury!
I've won a few minor prizes in That's Life, but zip in Take 5.
I agree with langod

I think both mags had more prizes & better prizes about 5 plus years ago and have gone downhill since then.
I can't find my copy of 'Winners are Grinners', but both mags have a circulation of circa 250,000 plus per week.
I'm thinking that I have a better chance of winning enough cash in the weekly lottories to buy a new car, at least, a barina or something around that
price range.

Congratulations to people who have won a car and seriously good luck to those who have yet to.  |

what a great story oneclickwonder!! I have been entering Take 5 and that's Life. Not a thing with that's Life but a few things from Take 5. I won
the trip on THE GHAN $10k one winner (a year ago) and got an EReader a few months ago as a runners up prize. Love doing the puzzles, keep the mind
sharp. Hoping we all have some great luck on here. |
