What is the most you have ever won?

[alixxx1]

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.

When the lottery first started, I used to win between £10 - £40 moat weeks! The most I won was £160! Since that win, it went downhill and I haven’t won anything in years...sob!

@Zancah "fucking well done love" 😂😂
I had to comment just to say thankyou,
You have no idea how much that laugh was needed.
(Hurt a bit but worth it) 👍

Dexter box set.
200 scratch card.

In cash, just over £100 with the office lottery syndicate. This was 20+ years ago, so it was a nice amount to win and we used it to help pay for a weekend in London.

I also won a trip to the Spanish Grand Prix a few years ago, on a chartered jet. That was quite cool.

I won about £1200 on a slot machine in Vegas. That same holiday my friend won over £11,000 on a two dolllar spin. He paid for us to go to a three Michelin star restaurant with some of it, so I benefitted too .

£250 Just Eat voucher, entered to a draw because I'd bought a bottle of Coke. Only time I've ever bought a drink on there, the prices are silly and we have plenty drinks in the fridge.

That bought quite a lot of curry!

£3.5k online bingo. Plus 3 x £1000 within the same few weeks.
Was a great boost to us and we got most of the house decorated and a new sofa etc.

I do play online bingo regularly so win £100-£500 quite often.

£500 lotto hotpicks from the bookies.

Designer handbag recently

1K on the Wheel of Fortune at my local social club.
5K on a prize draw run by a cashback site which went out of business. I had to take legal action to force them to pay up.

@Zancah ha ha spat out my tea lol

I won the pot noodle horn a while back when it was a big deal. that’s all I’ve ever won, but I was super happy with it!!!!

Can I ask what bingo site? I never know where to play!

@PaddleBoardingMomma

Hmm not sure this qualifies as won...

But my husband took a shot at an auction on some Chinese coins and won, spent about £22 plus commission.

Sold them 6 months later at a heritage auction in Hong Kong for £250,000 ish.

Bloody hell that’s amazing

£140 0n the lottery. yay!

I have never won anything...but when I was 16 a chocolate business were doing a promo where if your wrapper had a person on it instead of a penguin you won £10,000.

(yes, they were penguin bars)

I didn't know & threw the wrapper away.

£1200 in 99 for a radio competition

@PurpleRainDancer

It was such a stroke of luck, he wasn't even supposed to be at the auction that night! We never could have gotten on the property ladder without it and count out blessings daily!

£31K in a lottery syndicate. Enough for a new roof and a new (2nd hand) car.

A years worth of roadside assistance on MN and a stroller. Thought they were joking on the stroller, I’m not a winner. Although I do have $2 on a lottery I have to claim

A share of £250k as part of a lottery syndicate, £8.5k on online bingo, lots of smaller wins of £1k+.

Cash wise, £10 on the lottery a couple of times.

Biggest value prize was £40 in John Lewis vouchers in a raffle run by the army cadets at a local agricultural show. Treated myself to some nice makeup.

Ooh I did once win £250 in vouchers for being employee of the year in my last job, but that was earned rather than a random draw or competition

@FrenchyQ

£26000 on an online slot machine

Wow that's a lot? What did you spend it on? And can you please tell me about online gambling? Do you manage to stick to a certain amount of have you gotten carried away? (if you don't mind me asking)

Some of these are amazing!

I once won a cruise worth £6k and my other moderately large win was £1800 worth of product from a department store. I didn't even realise I'd entered the competition, apparently all store card holders were automatically entered. Such a great surprise!

@Smarties87

I entered a competition to win the dvd series of Cadfael (drama about a 12 century monk) in my local paper, about 5 years ago. My dad used to love watching it. I was so excited when it arrived in the post a week later. I honestly think I was the only one who entered ...

If I had seen it, I would have entered it
