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 won a trip to Vegas, all expenses paid from the 3 Network. We had to go to a theatre in London and compete doing various daft challenges. I ended up very pissed as was so excited to have won our challenge and the holiday , unfortunately we had to leave the next morning for the holiday. I ended up packing for me & DH, pissed as a fart. He ended up with 6 thick jumpers and no flip flops or shorts...it was over 30c everyday 😂

£100 in a crossword competition.

Ironically, I'd only entered it as a result of a family argument over whether or not anyone actually ever wins those sorts of competitions.

The best thing I've won was about ten years ago, from a Radio One contest - a ticket to Turnmills VIP area to see Pete Tong record his Essential Selection show. I'm convinced they gave one to me because you had to give your address to enter, and I lived about five minutes' walk from the club at the time.
