What's the best thing that you've won?

[MuddyMoose]

Just that really. What's the best thing you've ever won through a competition? & worst?

Premium bonds wins (£50 once and £25 on a number of occasions). Also a Harry Potter Lego set at a school raffle.

Last month I won a printer in a raffle, which was ideal as my FIL needed a new one as it had just broken. Second prize was a blood pressure monitor which I also won - and gave to a friend who needed one fairly urgently.
So I didn't feel quite so guilty copping the top 2 prizes - they from were different books of tickets too . Hav e history of doing this I'm banned from the local village fete raffle as two years running I won the music centre (again, not for me I gave both to friends)

A luxury shower and enclosure (sold on eBay), £3000 worth to spend on storage furniture, a Sunsail holiday to Antigua, a crate of innocent smoothies - I had a lucky few years!!!

My sister used to work in the magazine industry and said that the bigger the prize, the fewer people actually enter as they erroneously think they have a smaller chance of winning. I used to go onto the prizefinder website and enter a load of things every week.

When the film Bug's Life was released McDonalds had a colouring competition on and I won! A quick google says this was in 1999 I still remember the teddy I won to this day of the girl ant, I absolutely adored her but one day one of her antenna snapped

A trip with a famous brewery to an all you can drink party. Included hotel and transfer to the event. Great fun

I never win anything.

im a comper and been dong it for years,i enter hundreds per week so ive won loads and loads

the most was £750 love to shop vouchers the worse was one i didnt enter and that was 2 condoms 1 male 1 female(never used a condom in my life)

ive won a few hundred on bingo quite a few times over the years,i use 1p tickets

I won an Espa advent calendar at my beauticians - they were raffling it off to raise money for the hospice that cared for my mum, so I stuck in a fiver. My mum died at Xmas and I always find it hard so I like to think she had a hand in it.

The best thing I won was a goldfish at my local donkey Derby. It was the last one and everybody cheered, which made the very plain shy six year old me feel very special. Then my dad had to drive to my grans half an hour away while she rooted through her shed for an ancient goldfish bowl - it was before Sunday shopping so we couldn't buy one.

My aunt and uncle once won a posh holiday many years ago
But due to the fact they owned their plant nursery and couldn’t take the time off they got the prize in food instead (cash would have made more sense!)
They got that much it filled their spare room with tinned goods
I lived with my grandad growing up so they sent what they said would be a ‘few boxes’
My grandad had a bloody big kitchen-it didn’t have much room left by the time they’d finished!
Took us about 6 years to finish it all in the end

I won £78 on the lotto the 1st time I played-a fortune to 16 year old me

£700 on online bingo, loads of raffles on Facebook I play I've won expensive makeup palettes, about 7 diff high end foundations, clothes, kids toys. My best was a chocolate flake cake from a posh bakery it took 3 weeks to eat but it came frozen so you could defrost a slice at a time

Best was a second place in debenhams royal jubilee art contest... I have never been good at art or encouraged in it so it was a huge boost to my confidence. Which was then crushed when I showed my step dad my entey to be told "hrumph, can't have been many entries".
Worst prize was a year's supply of Thornton's icecream. They gave us two tubs a week all year. The firdt month it was great. The second month the excitement had worn off. The third month we were going off our favourite flavours. Towards the end of the year it was winter, freezing cold, we were stuck with a freezer full of gross flavours like peach or melon, and we all hated ice cream. I still don't ever feel like buying ice cream...

I won a hamper of high end beauty products (Chanel, Lancome, Urban Decay etc...) worth well over a £1000 in a nationwide competition, and a Samsung Galaxy Edge back when they were new in a charity raffle.

A £25,000 garden folly from the Chelsea Flower Show.

£2,000 garden lighting.
A holiday to France.

A beautiful copper tool set.

Must start doing competitions again.

Worst was pot noodle fork 🤣
Best would be free tickets to the new softplay that opened in the town I was living.

As a child I found a £20 note floating in the sea. Not technically a win, but it felt like it at the time.

The best thing I have ever won - my husband's heart.

I've won lots and lots of things, but nothing mega-expensive.

Best freebies I had were from mumsnet (product tests rather than competitions) I got a tomtom one year which was worth about £450 at the time, and a kenwood food mixer thingy another year.
Most recently I won a family swim at our local pool :)

Last year at the school summer fete I won loads of booze in the raffle. I had to beg someone for a carrier bag as I couldn't get them home (technically, DS2 won those as he picked the tickets)

About 25 years ago I won an M & S Christmas hamper in a prize draw I’d been entered into when I took out a store card. That was a great Christmas. Still got the wicker basket it came in. Haven’t won anything decent since.

A large tub of chocolate roses in our class raffle when I was 9. They picked a name out each day. It was the last day of term and I hadn't won anything yet. She picked out someone else first and I believe it was a child's name who had already won something so she picked out another and it was me. I was SO happy.

A jar of tea when I was 6 or so (one of these 'guess how many are in the container' competitions).

Quite a few theatre tickets from the local newspaper (I don't think many people entered).

DP recently won afternoon tea for two at a local, very posh restaurant. A colleague tried to persuade him to swap it for a good bottle of whisky he'd won, but DP was having none of it. Not that he wanted to go, but he knew I would so he kept it and I went with a friend. We had a lovely time!

A week's holiday in Spain.

Walk Like an Egyptian by the Bangles, poster sleeve vinyl single.

From a competition in Smash Hits.

5k on a Slot machine;
£300 vouchers on here for Reviewing chocolate spread

My dad also won 15K on loose women

Worst was a bottle of sherry, at a raffle.

I don't drink sherry, so either the bottle was spoilt or sherry is discusting (yes, with the c).

Best must have been a Mastermind game. It was at a school math competition and it has provided many hours of play, including for son and nephews.

Never won big prizes, but I almost never play the lottery or anything.

£50 John Lewis vouchers from MN and a Minnie Mouse sweater for a colouring competition when I was about 6. The organiser tried to palm me off with some other crap so she could give the sweater to her daughter but my mum stood up for me . I wore that sweater for years!
