What is the most you have ever won?

Just out of curiousity what is the most you have ever won? Whether that be in a competition or on the lottery?

I can't even win £1 on a scratch card 🤣 I'm just wondering if people actually ever won anything?

Ps I'm not a gambler nor do I intend to gamble, this is purely just following a conversation me and my friend were having earlier.

I do casino offers, biggest win by itself is around £350, but I’m coming up £10k in profit with that and match betting after a year.
It does take a lot of time though, and quickly feels like a dull part time job.

£870 on a charity draw at a football match .

bumpdownthestairs · 05/05/2021 20:37

£2k on an online slot game about 10 years ago, absolutely pissed it away as was young (early 20's) and stupid! Would do better with it now.

itsgettingwierd · 05/05/2021 20:38

£1430 on a lottery ticket - I got 5 numbers.

SavannahLands · 05/05/2021 20:42

£25 on some premium bonds that someone bought me as a Baby!

Then l organised a raffle in aid of a Children’s Hospice, and the Star prize was a Weeks holiday onboard a River Cruiser on the Norfolk Broads, my Neighbour won it, valued at £750, but she was terrified of sleeping on a boat, so Gave it to DH and l to Crew for her and take her Grandaughter with us, who was at school with our DDs!

€100 in a local sports team raffle. Honestly the person who sold me the ticket was more delighted than I was.

cptartapp · 05/05/2021 20:44

£1000 on Premium Binds last year.
A tenth share in a £20k lottery syndicate win at work a few years ago.

RoseMartha · 05/05/2021 20:45

About £5 on the lottery

NeedCoffeeToSurvive · 05/05/2021 20:46

About £40 on Tombola, I was so pleased with myself but then my partner won nearly £6000 the day after on the same game, so my win felt pretty tiny in the end.

Aprilshowersandhail · 05/05/2021 20:47

£30 recently on Lotto.
My df won big on the football Pools about 20 years ago. Dumped me soon after..

A heart rate monitor for athletics. This was in the 1990s so it was worth a lot more then.

@alixxx1 @supercee it was 5 weeks before we got married, the richer or poorer line went down a treat!! We moved house and paid it outright, invested in a few properties and invested a large chunk. The best invested though is our IVF baby, without the money I doubt we'd of ever become parents

sbhydrogen · 05/05/2021 20:58

I've won £138 from the National Lottery, and also $190 (from a mere $5!) on the roulette tables in Las Vegas 😎

PanamaPattie · 05/05/2021 21:02

£11k at bingo - which I shared with my bingo buddy.

funinthesun19 · 05/05/2021 21:02

£500 at Mecca Bingo. My first time going as well, and I won that much money! I was absolutely chuffed to bits!
Not won anything near that since. I’m due another big win when it opens up again. Wink

Mylittleponysuperfan · 05/05/2021 21:02

£75 on the lotto-first time I played
£20 on a scratch card
5 sticks of Blackpool rock that had been doing the raffle rounds for about 6 years-i binned them
£50 worth of chocolate Easter egg

Brilliant!

WiddlinDiddlin · 05/05/2021 21:06

650 online bingo
300 online casino however we were taking advantage of a combo of cashback and loophole in the sites rules re free cash bonuses... it was a way of playing through your free cash to turn it into winnings rather than bonus so you could then cash out.
40 scratch card
350 smart phone (when they first came out really), via orange online comp.

merryhouse · 05/05/2021 21:16

£2 on a scratchcard.

My dad won a ZX Spectrum at the school fete, about the only time we won anything (years later he shared his suspicions that it had been fixed Grin)

Cloudyview · 05/05/2021 21:18

£400 on the horses. Usually only put a bet on the Grand National, but Sky Bet had a special at Cheltenham in 2019, money back (up to £20) if your horse didn’t win. I put the £20 (most I’ve ever bet on anything) on Pentland Hills on the last day and it won at 20-1.

greeneyedlulu · 05/05/2021 21:20

£3500 on postcode lottery

farmerpalmer · 05/05/2021 21:25

A few good online casino wins via matched betting - 5736, 1740, 1530 and 892

Best matched bet was a 2 up offer on the World Cup made 000's with no risk involved.

LouLou789 · 05/05/2021 21:30

£625

ConsuelaHammock · 05/05/2021 21:30

I won a frozen Turkey once at my brothers’ school Christmas bazaar.

Matched betting - I made £220 from a £50 free bet with bet365 a few years ago. The result was a draw so I won at the bookies and the exchange. All completed on my phone on the way to a birthday meal.

IEat · 05/05/2021 21:41

£50 health lottery.only put it on because a bird pooped on my DS!s head. Haven’t done a bean since
