40岁的迪·寇克原本是一名平面设计师，年薪至少1.5万英镑。自从17年前辞职在家专职抽奖以来，已经赚了25.5万英镑。她曾经中过超过50个家庭旅行大奖，去过的地方包括巴西、日本等异国他乡。她甚至用抽奖赚来的东西置办了家具，还为自己的婚礼赢了7500英镑。目前，她已经把圣诞节需要的东西准备好了，她的下一个目标是用中来的奖把厨房布置布置。

由于在抽奖方面特别在行，她还开了一个博客告诉人们如何中大奖，还把自己的经历写成了一本电子书。

A woman who gave up her job to sit around all day entering competitions has had the last laugh, as her new ‘career’ has nabbed her £255,000 in prizes.

Di Coke, 40, gave up being a graphic designer, and brings in at least £15,000 a year from entering hundred of contests and competitions every week.

The mother-of-one has won more than 50 holidays to exotic locations such as Brazil and Japan for her family.

She even managed to furnish her home in Brighton and win £7,500 cash towards her wedding.

‘I have got to the stage when I can fund my life through entering competitions,’ said Ms Coke.

Di already has Christmas sorted, and her next task is kitting out her kitchen with competition wins.

She started ‘comping’ 17 years ago when she won an all expenses trip to Iceland.

‘It was fantastic. It gave me a taste for a winning lifestyle so I started entering more,’ she said.

Di has been so successful at ‘comping’ that she runs a blog giving people advice on how to win big, and is writing a eBook about her experiences.

She said: ‘I want people to realise how entering competitions can make a difference to their life.’
