Have you ever won something really exciting or won lots on the lottery?

[mugcup]

I'm the world's most unlucky person but what about you guys? My friend one a kitchen uo to the value of £15k a few years ago and a girl in my town won her dream wedding. What have you won?

I remember that - was it Girl Talk magazine?

I won a years supply of tea. It was amazing. They had a very different definition of a years supply though, I think I finished it in 6 months!!

You were a really clever kid!

I was lucky enough last week to win a certain brands new winter collection of shoes/boots/handbags etc. Worth around 2k. Didn't stop pinching myself until it actually turned up!

£2.38 about two years ago in the National Lottery.

But at least I can now honestly say that I have won the lottery !

I won a year's supply of chocolate from Nestlé whilst at primary school. Don't like anything sweet now, would prefer a years supply of crisps 🤤

Week before Christmas and was worrying I hadn't got my kids much (but what I could afford). Got an email I'd won a dancing Elmo toy, in the post just in time for Xmas!!! Was sooo happy 😁

£250 from in John Lewis vouchers from a mumsnet competition :)

It was almost 10 years ago now but it's still probably the coolest thing I've ever done. I was always the sort of person to shout at the TV and then I went on and had a total brain fart. It took me so long to get down the board they actually edited out a couple of questions neither of us got right. I still don't know how I managed it in the end as I was absolutely petrified once I was there. Bradley smelled amazing though.

free pizza for a year at a pizza chain! to the value of £400, it was a brilliant year 😁

I entered a competition to win a new kitchen I was only 16! I entered in my mums name in "Good Housekeeping" and she won and was over the moon

When I was in Primary 1, the school had a raffle with all the prizes stacked on a table, including those massive cuddly toys. There was one winner from each class. I was told I won from my class and was taken to the table, all excited to claim the giant cuddly toy. But they had started with Primary 7 and worked their way downwards with each winner choosing i prize. When I got there all that was left was my prize - a casserole dish! Still haven't got over the disappointment.

I had a bit of a comping phase and won loads. I won a top of the range Miele washing machine and matching tumble drier, with a 5 star trip to Sydney to redesign my utility room with a top designer. That was amazing, the hotel was incredible and I bloody love my fancy washing machine and drier (they were worth $4500 AUD EACH!

But the prize that was most fun, I got tp open an Aldi! . I cut the ribbon and got to go in first and pick $500 of groceries. My picture was in the paper and everyone I know took the piss out of me for months. .

Actually I must get into it again, it was a pretty lucrative hobby.

A bottle of bubble bath at a tombola over the weekend which leaked into my bag...

Years and years ago I won a few holidays but not much since!

We got 5 numbers on the lottery a few years ago which was very exciting at the time - I was almost hyperventilating checking the numbers, I thought we'd won a big chunk!

It was a bit disappointing finding out it was only about £1600 😂 - 5 numbers feels like loads!

Jeezo, 5 numbers and I'd be chucking my job😁

Then regretting it

I won a Go Pro camera thing from a competition on a cereal box. As a teenager I won some gas powered curling tongs that I used for years.

Ds2 won tickets to Percy Pigs 30th birthday in London in July and invited me to go with him... Was great fun!! 🐽 🐽 🐽 🐽 🐽 🐽 🐽 🐽 🐽 🐽 🐽

Dh won a trip to Goa all expenses paid for two and decided it was impractical for the kids to go, so he handed the holiday back and it was auctioned for charity - we hadn't had a holiday in 4 years - it took me a little while to feel charitable about it!😂

I won this year's body shop advent calendar on a £1 raffle ticket. My 4 year old is more excited than me, mainly because it's full of lots of drawers and boxes to open. I am quite excited though as I never get anything for myself (well sort of for myself as said 4 year old has already offered to share it with me)

I once won a Crayola crayon carousel from a competition in a kids magazine. Think I was about 7, I had no idea until it arrived in the post, ages after I'd sent my little entry slip. SO exciting!

I won £50 at a school raffle, it was in the 80's so a huge amount of money to a kid. I spent some on a my little pony and my mum made me put the rest in premium bonds. Hmmm, I wonder if they are still valid?!

As an adult, a few scratchcard wins including £15 from one I got one Mother's Day, I bought a plant and a book. Best win recently though was a seafood beach picnic in Cornwall, we had lobster, oysters and ice cold white wine for lunch, bloody fantastic!

Not me, but many years ago my dad won the state lottery in NSW Australis. It bought us a 6 week cruise back to the UK when we returned after his posting had ended.

*Australia...if only MN could win enough to have an edit button added.

Some perfume in a Sugar magazine competition.
