Have you ever won anything good?

[PepsiMaxLime]

Just entered a competition to win a holiday + £15k. I’ve never ever won anything decent in a competition but also rarely enter any!

anyone had any good prizes or lottery wins?

i won 2 flights once, it was only with easyjet but better than nothing!

Not me but someone I worked with back in the late '80's won a brand new car.

I used to enter loads and used to do quite well - won 2 holidays, cash/giftcards and some high valued items e.g an iphone etc

Just don't seem to have the time these days.

No, but I never enter anything. There used to be competition websites (I guess still are), I keep meaning to find a good one and just enter loads of competitions.

Good as in valuable, no, but when I was 4/5 I persuaded my parents to enter a school raffle. I really wanted a set of bath salts (it was the 80's 😁). I did actually win something, but not what I wanted. Instead I was presented with a Teddy bear wearing a scarf and hat. After the initial disappointment he became one of my absolute favourites and is sitting in my bedroom right now.

£96 on the lottery, that was quite good!

The stuff of dreams

I always assume that kind of thing is some kind off trick, so I don’t

I didn’t exactly win it but I replied to a product testing call-out email from SpaceNK last week (‘first 50 people to respond’ type thing) and thought no more of it. Then yesterday I got an email saying one of these is on its way to me:

I just have to test it and post a review apparently.

An all expenses holiday to the Bahamas. It was at work, names out of a hat situation rather than a competition as such, but still was the best thing I've ever won. DP came too.

I have won an Austin Metro in 1985, a pile of classical CDs, and some expensive cushions.

I never win big! But I do win fairly regularly.

so £500 on the local radio
helicopter flight for two at a local show
£150 worth of vouchers for a lovely clothing shop.
tickets to footy matches, Ice hockey and cricket.
afternoon tea delivery etc.
and tons of smaller ones.

I love the little buzz for getting something. It's really fab.

I won a free holiday to a gite in France. It rained every day but the gite and owners were great. The area was lovely.
We almost evacuated to a town hall but the water subsides.

I used to be really lucky and won competitions regularly. Mostly small things like DVDs or whatever.

My 3 best wins though have been £10,500 on The Chase, a 50CC motorbike from CD:UK when I was 18, and £998 at the bingo.

You can also blame the bingo for my marriage. 😁 I went out with a friend and my mum, we won something like £250/300 so went onto a pub after that for drinks and that's where I met my now DH.

A dyson hoover and a £1000 washing machine-thank you Mumsnet!
A rugby shirt for the team we support signed by the whole team.

Yes a 5 star, long haul holiday.
also a premium make up set worth £250

A new Bosch boiler in an online comp & I'm still irrationally pleased about it a few years later 😄

I recently won a free session with a local dog trainer. Was actually really good and learnt lots. My aunt won a years supply of Persil non bio but didn't want it so gave it to me. I was very happy with that too!

A pair of Prince tickets. We were already going so gave them to friends.

I won a £200 ferry voucher a few months ago. I was delighted as I live on an island with crazily expensive crossings to the mainland.

I'm enjoying all of these stories, but I'm oddly particularly thrilled for the PPs who won really useful big ticket stuff, like the new boiler / washing machine / ferry crossing.

Jesus, I'm getting old. 😄

I’ve won £2.50 in the euromillions and a free lucky dip in the lotto! Not bad for 20 years of playing

Life changing!!

one week’s holiday in a 5 star hotel in Aviemore, Scotland

perfect…😊

£400 on the lottery which I thought was a bit pants for five numbers

A night in a swanky hotel with tasting menu in London

Dog food for a year

And a bottle of out of date Buck's Fizz from a school raffle. It was like a weapon, how it didn't explode before I got it home I don't know!
