Not me but my mum's friend won a manual washing machine at my primary school summer fete. I think it had a handle that you cranked to make it work. This was in the mid eighties not the eighteenth century.

In a raffle I won the last prize - a preloved cookery book. Not even a novelty - just something out of someones kitchen drawer.

But in a community fair we had a go at pick a bag for 50p (contents unseen) and won a bottle of wine .

A tin of out of date tuna, and an egg mayo sandwich once. No idea who comes up with these ‘prizes’.

When I was about 5 I got one single piece of Lego in a lucky dip. It was a little thin one - 1x3 dots. I was soooo disappointed and have never forgotten. My big brother got a tube of Fruit Pastilles. I’m still jealous now.

I won a parking space right outside the front door of my office for a week - I work from home and only go into the office once every 3 months
