Never won anything in the prize draw when I was a gold member, but I must say how much is the price of a gold or silver membership devided by twelve month a year. Drink a pint of beer less every month and you can afford silver or gold membership.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are members who won more than once and there are members who never won anything. That&amp;#39;s life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope that I will win something in the future &lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/02.gif" alt="Big Smile" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Absolutley! ...a whole lot moreso than what happened in this past draw.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thought it was great that a fellow joined up as a gold member the very day of the draw and took home the wonderful first place prize. If that is not proof enough of the system -well, then I have no idea what is!?!?!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the record, I have been in every prize draw since the inception and was fortunate to have won second place once.&amp;nbsp;I pay to support the site, not the draw -please don&amp;#39;t forget that the draw is just the icing on the cake for gold members.&lt;/p&gt;
