To ask what's the best thing you've ever won in a competition?

That's it really! I'm not one of these people who scours the internet all day for competitions to enter, but I do enter quite a few and have only ever won a voucher for sports clothes, free tickets to a local attraction and a Legally Blonde wig!! Is it all just a big con/data harvesting exercise or do people really win amazing prizes?

Best thing I won was £50 in vouchers and a tray of doughnuts! My friend once won a mini Cooper though!

Oooh! Doughnuts and a car both sound amazing! Maybe I'm just not "lucky"...

I've only ever won one thing - a pregnancy massage at an NCT raffle. (It was fab though)

I've only ever won one thing - a teddy that was bigger than my youngest son who was two at the time. Came with a little bottle of cherry liquor.
He is called Big Ted and my boys love him.

Christmas!
I won a turkey in the raffle at the school Christmas fair on the Friday. The next day I won a Christmas hamper at the church Christmas fair.

Won a Christmas hamper when we were broke so that was good.

£2000 automower

I won a writing competition once. I think there was a small cash prize but the winning, that was the really big deal for me. I was at uni and all the lecturers were there to listen to me read. I was never expected to go to uni. I barely attended school as a child. I felt "stupid". That was amazing.

When I was 10, I won a yard of chocolate at the school fair. I was over the moon!

A flat in Battersea, it was an Evening Standard competition.

I won a PlayStation for doing a backflip in a club when I was 17. Woke my mum up to tell her when I got in at 2am. She wasn’t as excited as me 😂.

25 years ago my parents won a fitted kitchen!

£300 IKEA voucher - on MN.
It went towards my lovely PAX wardrobes

A new fitted kitchen of my choice.

I won a bugaboo pram years ago worth 1200, that was pretty amazing. More recently I won a giant Teddy (about 3ft tall) in a raffle - the kids thought that was amazing too (my husband did not)

A photo shoot and free photo of my toddler. Great local photography studio who had a stall at a parent/baby event. All I had to do was enter my name and contact details - no marketing sign up or anything.

I won a pair of tickets to a music festival (worth about £250) a few years ago, and in the last few weeks I won a new cot mattress (£180)through a competition on a well-known parenting forum!

As a child I won a signed spice girls doll from cbbc

Tickets for the Live 8 concert. I never enter competitions but Radio One had a ‘text to win’ thing whilst I was on the way to work and I had my phone in my hand so text the number. I was convinced it was a scam till I got the tickets!

A doggy hamper of toys and treats with a little cushion for me

My dad won a car.

I won a trip to Switzerland, but that’s all I’ve ever won!

My Grandma and my Dad went on the generation game and won "the conveyor belt" of prizes!!!

Ds won a signed Chelsea shirt after entering a virtual sports day competition on twitter during lockdown
