I won a hamster cage on Swap Shop in 1981

CMOTdibbler · 15/02/2011 19:16

I've won a few things on here - it's been really good Smile. Am usually useless though

NonnoMum · 15/02/2011 19:16

I've heard of a couple of big-ish lottery winners round here over the last few years.

But someone must will Millionaire Raffle every week (ever heard of them?) and the big MIllion on Premium bonds every month (ever heard of them)?

Own up - there's must be a v fortunate MNer somewhere out there??

I won a short break last year on MN. I was chuffed to bits Grin

JiltedJohnsJulie · 16/02/2011 09:34

Oh, and I once won a box of Mars Bars. Yum.

turnipvontrapp · 03/03/2011 22:31

Used to win quite a lot of things, went to the world cup final, a few holidays abroad, wine, money, years membership to v posh gym, a bike and lots of other things.

All pre-kids as don't have the time now Sad

Not me but my dad won a 'wall of wine' just before my ds1 was born.
Given that my mum ran a teetotal house and the wine was rank, it did not stop my ancient Aunty Lily coming to 'wet the baby's head' and staying until most of the wall had been drunk. By her.

I won a vacuum cleaner on here. I still get a bit giddy when I use it!

I won a box of vitamins many years ago when Blush magazine was still around.

WalterFlipsticks · 22/03/2011 12:07

I never win anything :( where do people enter all these comps?
I did however once feature on Chris Moyles Car Park catchphrase and won an 'I Love Mum' cd just before mothers day! Grin

Tigerbomb · 26/03/2011 22:44

Last year I won a spa day at a posh hotel (I gave it to a friend) and then two weeks later won a weekend away at the Hilton in York (I kept that one).

I think I've had my quota now Sad

UniS · 26/03/2011 22:47

tickets to the Tennis masters on a web prize draw, that was a nice prize.

Assorted raffle prizes at quizs and fetes.

and just once- I won "guess teh weight of teh cake" It was very large but not terribly nice cake. lots of fondant icing and I have a very sweet tooth, so I ate most of it.

AlmightyCitrus · 26/03/2011 22:58

I've won loads of stuff over the years. Quite a lot of money and loads of "stuff". I tend to avoid holiday competitions as it's difficult with 3 kids as they are usually for either 2 or 4 people. However, I entered one as I was hoping for one of the many runner-up prizes and won the main prize. A week in a very expensive, exotic 5 star hotel, flights and $2000 to spend.

Not a bad little hobby really!

thatgirlsevil · 12/04/2011 13:07

Front row tickets and a 'meet and greet' with Will Young...stop looking at me like that Blush...he's my guilty pleasure!

King of Kong DVD

An "In America" exclusive stills booklet signed (and sent personally to me) by Paddy Considine.

I'm still waiting on that big cash prize.

StealthyKissBeartrayal · 12/04/2011 13:10

I won £1000 on a radio phone in recently!

Jenjenw · 24/05/2012 11:37

Of course. I increase my chances by entering as many as possible. Ive won books, pots and pans. 4 years ago I won £1000 :)

karen3w · 28/05/2012 19:46

I won a dinner party on MN recently! I don't enter many competitions apart from on MN and never win anything, not even a tenner on the national lottery!

Bunnyjo · 06/06/2012 21:37

Nearly posted on here on Thursday to say that, apart from £2 on a scratchcard, I've never won anything. But, I won the Smeg fridge on May's MN competition, which is a pretty awesome way to break my competition duck Grin

My mum has won allsorts on scratchcards, the biggest being a £3000 holiday voucher for Thomas Cook, which she was allowed to add to. So 5 of us went to Cuba for 2 weeks, to a place we've been to a few times - twas bloody amazing!

chirpchirp · 01/08/2012 22:06

Won a lot through Photobox's Facebook page including £3,000, 10 tickets to Alton towers, a kindle and loads of credit for their site for different photography comps. Never had any luck with just name in a hat type comps though.
