They say you have to play the game to have a chance at winning, and personally, the more you play, the better your odds.
But are some people luckier than others? Or is it just that they walk into a winning opportunity with the right attitude?
Or is it that some people just believe in luck more than others?
I have entered more than a few contests in my years, relying on the ole “it can’t hurt to try” concept, but there have been a few where I had a gut feeling that I would walk away a winner.
That moment when you press “send” and think “I’ve GOT this!”
Perhaps it is that one faint line of Irish heritage that makes me believe in luck (and magic and all the rest) and when I get a “feeling” I go with it
A year and a half ago a friend sent me a notification of a cool contest TomTom was running. There were 5 winners, and each one got to “chart a desert island” with their family.
Family of FIVE.
First off. How often does a travel giveaway support families of five?
We had to write 250 words explaining why we were the perfect family to chart an island with TomTom.
I did. I wrote this.
And that moment when we watched the video saying we WON, well, that was MIND BLOWING. We found out just as everyone else did. No private notifications or emails congratulating us, just THIS video.
MIND BLOWING.
But when I wrote our little entry and grabbed a pic of my girl on the porch with an umbrella standing in the rain, I just knew we had this one. I had a strange feeling we were going to win.
And what a win. $15,000 and an all expense 2 week trip to St. Lucia. Ah-MAY-Zing!
And it came just when we needed it. We had just sold our house, we were leaping into a new life and overwhelmingly stressed out. This little win gave us a huge lift and a little confidence that the universe was on our side.
I mean, you just never know, do you? Someone HAS to win these things, so why not you (or me?)
And right now KINDER® has a totally awesome contest running with their new 2014 KINDER® Eggs.
An easy entry (just Crack & win) with the new release of KinderEggs and have the chance to walk away with a new Fiat 500 POP, or one of 2 family trips to Orlando, Florida. As well, 27,000 KINDER® Fans can win a family night out to the movies, and 201,000 fans can win a FREE kinder treat!
Seems to me the odds are definitely in your favour.
So grab yourself a KINDER® treat, and check out the Kinder Facebook page to check your KINDER® pin code and follow your instinct, maybe YOU will be the big winner!
And as the perfect WIN-WIN opportunity, you will find your code INSIDE your KINDER® egg, so you MUST eat the chocolate before playing!

So, get cracking and winning (and enjoying that chocolatey egg) and follow your instincts, you never know when they will be right!
