I've never been a lover of online competition sites, partly due to my pessimistic outlook, so I was very sceptical about joining Tombola until my friend won £50. Well I thought, if he can win then why can't I? So I signed up, played every day for about a month and won £10. That was over five months ago, but I keep going and I keep trying 'cos you never know, do you?

So what is Tombola all about then? Free money. That's right FREE MONEY FOR YOU (if you win, terms and conditions apply LOL). The site is very well laid out, with the navbar links on the left and the game loads on the right. That's what I find refreshing about this site. You play a little game, and you could win, and it only takes about a minute per game. Some sites I've been to insist that you play for over an hour and then you're put in a draw.

The games on Tombola change quite frequently and currently they are:

I-Scratch
A virtual scratchcard much like the ones that you can buy in your local newsagents. Match three symbols to win -
£5000 - shared
£200
£100
£50
£20
£5 voucher for Amazon

Hang-On!
My favourite game at the moment. Nine blobs float around the screen, hanging on balloons. Pop the balloon to reveal a cash amount (the blob drops off the screen shouting OH-NO). Match three symbols to win -
£1000 - shared
£200
£100
£50
£20
£5 voucher for Amazon

Match & Win - sponsored by E-Bay
You are given six symbols and press a button to reveal a random symbol, if it matches the ones that you have and you get all six you can win a share of £500

Minute to Win - sponsored by Lastminute.com
You are given a game card with six sets of three symbols. Click a button to reveal a random symbol, when you have three you win a share of £1000.

Fetch - sponsored by Lycos.co.uk
A bit like I-Scratch, but instead of using a virtual coin, a virtual dog digs holes in a garden revealing a prize figure. Get four the same and win -
£10000 - shared
£1000
£500
£50
£10

Older games that have appeared on the site include Passport (you had to match destinations to the ones on your passport) and Syndicates (a free go on the National Lottery every day, and you became part of a syndicate of 49), and new ones are introduced every now and again.

The site is fast loading, only takes five or six minutes to play, and you don't get too much spam, so why not give it a go?
