This summer Daily Mirror is giving readers a chance to win a £35k caravan holiday home for life absolutely free. The tabloid paper teamed up with Park Resorts, in partnership with Swift Holiday Homes, to give one lucky winner the chance to own a luxury 2-bedroom Brand New Swift Burgundy holiday home for life simply by collecting passwords and answering multiple choice questions.

Over 265,000 people entered the New Covent Garden Soup company's competition for a chance to win a farm worth £500,000. The promotion, which was run in partnership with sister brand Farmhouse Fare on the back of a £2.5 million marketing campaign, seemed like the perfect opportunity to escape to the country for one lucky person. The winner was supposed to be awarded a cheque for £500,000 to be spent on a small farm. Unfortunately, nobody came forward to claim the prize and as a result, no winner was announced.

After months trying to sell their home, Bromley couple Graham King, 55 and Pamela Rutter, 56, decided to run a house competition instead. Their goal: sell at least 23,400 tickets at £30 and give away their house valued at £650,000. Unfortunately, after launching their house competition earlier this month, the Gambling Commission stepped in to close it down on 13 January.

A new house competition recently kicked off on Dream Home Competition, with a modern £500,000 town house near Marbella in Spain's Costa del Sol up for grabs for £10. Players need to answer 3 questions correctly to enter the competition and there are currently 4 other properties to be won on the website.
