To ask what have you won

Last year I had been trying everything to get Beyonce tickets for my niece but could not get them anywhere as they were sold out

My local radio was running a competition to win a pair of tickets and I entered and I won, the look on my nieces face when I told her she had tickets was the most amazing feeling ever

I was telling a colleague about it and we got into conversation about winning things but apart from those tickets and a fiver in a pot noodle years ago I have not really ever won anything else

so just for fun and out of curiosity, what great things you have won?

I've been very lucky over the years, my sofas, table & chairs, bed, fridge/freezer are all ones that I won. I have won an ipad, iPhone, iPod, vouchers, cash, weekends away, holiday. I have really been very lucky but I enter a lot of competitions too

Weekend package for the Grand Prix last year and a pair of roller blades on Challenge TV in 1995

A box of false comedy noses. And that is all.

A box of false comedy noses. And that is all. and can we ask what you did with them --and why you entered the competition-/ Grin

I won a Vaio laptop once from Letts. I hadn't even paid for my own diary, it was a work one!

HollowTalk · 25/02/2019 20:11

I won a turkey!

SundayShawl · 25/02/2019 20:12

I won a £1000 shopping spree at my local shopping centre. I thought it'd be easy but I ended up with £400 worth of gift cards for the balance because I just couldn't bring myself to buy things I didn’t need to use the money up 😂

Hunter037 · 25/02/2019 20:13

I've never won anything Sad but then I don't tend to enter many competitions.

DHs grandma is a serial competitor and had won all sorts like holidays to Disneyland and a years supply of tetleys!

dairymilkmonster · 25/02/2019 20:14

Once won a breakfast hamper ( think bacon, eggs, jam) in a bingo.

Aside from that, it is an essay competition at university. Not sure that's what you meant!

Not really won I guess but I signed up to test loads of baby stuff whilst on maternity leave and got selected to try a lot of them. They included:

Baby food
Washing detergent
Fabric conditioner
Nappies (several different brands)
The best was A maxi-cosy car seat with isofix base which I got to keep.

I won a free meal at our local pub and a term of waterbabies swimming lessons for DS last year. I was delighted with the swimming lessons, they are £££££.

mrsbeeton999 · 25/02/2019 20:19

I won £1984 last year just when we needed some money, I’ve also won an iPad, a very posh Easter away with the family and loads of tickets to shows and concerts. Also £500 Boots voucher, £250 ASOS voucher a tv and lots of other bits. I should start doing more competitions again!

katseyes7 · 25/02/2019 20:20

A painting, a signed autobiography by an Olympian and a massage once.

My DM did better tho, the day after I won the painting she won a Diamond Nexklace at a Diamond Night event we went to, whilst the painting is great the Necklace would’ve been better!

Shufflebumnessie · 25/02/2019 20:29

Not me personally, but my parents won a 5* all-inclusive luxury holiday to the Beijing Olympics. They had an amazing, once in a lifetime experience.
All they did was buy something on their credit card. They didn't even know there was a competition running until they got the phone call (which my dad thought was a scam until all the details arrived in the post!!).

AgentCooper · 25/02/2019 20:31

A holiday to Marbella and three bikinis as the competition was sponsored by Freya.

I thought it was a scam email but it was real!

littlebillie · 25/02/2019 20:33

£1000 bursary to education
£300 on here
Ipod, Kindle and a weekend in France

goose1964 · 25/02/2019 20:35

Loads, mainly books and make up, but loads of other stuff, including a holiday to Cyprus a few weekend breaks and a few weekends a few web spends

FuzzyPuffling · 25/02/2019 20:38

A box of false comedy noses. And that is all. and can we ask what you did with them --and why you entered the competition-/*

I think we (my children) used them for dressing up games. Why I entered? No idea. I probably thought I had a fighting chance of winning, because, who wants a box of false noses?

puppymouse · 25/02/2019 20:39

Slimming World meeting raffle 😁

Jebuschristchocolatebar · 25/02/2019 20:40

Won a holiday through a union competition, tickets to a music festival and I don’t want to brag about it but I won a beautiful baby competition when I was 2 and my mum got a prize of supermarket vouchers Grin
