Ever won anything?

[hollyandkit]

When I was in junior school I won a trip to see Grandad (80s kids programme with Clive Dunn) being filmed. I remember it seemed to go on forever and wasn't very funny (a man had to hold up "laugh here" cards for the audience!). Since then only ever had the odd £25 Premium Bond win. Ever won anything interesting?

£90 on lottery and £100 + a few £25 on premium bonds

£25 on premium bonds at 16.

£3,000 on People's Postcode Lottery (that came at just the right time and was extremely welcome!), and £10 a few times on same.

A couple of speech and drama awards at festivals when I was at school.

Money, concert tickets, food hamper, champagne, vouchers. A few bits and bobs. All very nice and welcome

I won one of the first ever camera phones with Fanta fruit twist. A Siemens S55 that you had to attach the camera on to it and take a pic like an old disposable camera. It was the bees knees at the time and is still working 19 years later. Even after being off for years and the battery dead, it still has an alarm go off on the 5th of May, signifying a long lost friends birthday reminder I forgot to turn off before sticking it away in a drawer.
I've also won £800 twice on Hotpicks.

My son won £10,000 from £100 worth of premium bonds they'd bought him a few months earlier.

Sorry, they being his grandparents

I won a weekend for two at a health spa, donkeys' years ago, it was a competition for booksellers. I was astonished because I never usually win things. Took my best mate and we had a great time.

DH and I have both won TVs in staff Christmas raffles

I made a book mark in secondary school which I spent a lot of time on ,I won the first prize of a large tube of fruit pastels 🤣never won anything since!

Just once and it was a competition on MN. Won a gorgeous grobag and book which I gave to DGD. I was so surprised as have never won anything ever.

Once won a meal for 2 on my 30th birthday!
My df won big on the football Pools.
He didn't even buy me a drink to celebrate!!

And my son won an easter bonnet competition in primary school which I helped him with so maybe as a family we are more creative than I thought we were ?
He won an Easter egg.

A Gucci bag which I absolutely adore!!!

I won £25 in a union quiz at work. I also won a 2 night stay in cromarty, food, hotel, wildlife tour all included!

I also won a Harry potter rug as a child. Best win ever.

Won an ironing competition on Facebook. Got all my clothes and sheets ironed, felt. Like a queen for a week

£100 cash, £50 WH Smith's voucher, dog walking kit and 24 cans of dog food.

Never ever won anything. Not even a penny on Premium Bonds.

Last year I won a medal for getting the highest marks in my Masters cohort. That was less of a ‘dumb luck’ win as I put blood, sweat and tears into it (while working full-time!) but I’m still ridiculously proud

I also won a bag on a random blog competition years ago, and I recently won a fiver on the lottery

A My Little Pony, when I was about 7! I remember being really surprised when it turned up & I opened it.

Nothing else I can think of though.

5l can of Castol GTX when I was 8. It was a raffle and the stall holder refused to swap it with the bear I wanted.

Next thing was about 4 years ago when I won a lovely print (sort of Rob Ryan style) in a raffle at my DD's primary school Christmas fair.

£200 tkmaxx vouchers
Lots £25 premium bonds

A few weeks ago I won £118 on the lottery. Not a fortune but it was a nice surprise. Several £10's and £25's too over the years. Once won a raffle and got first prize of a massive box of Thorntons chocolates and a £20 Marks and Spencer gift voucher.
