    So you win again

    What's the best prize you've ever won that's non dance related?


    Mine was a week's full board holiday, for 2 adults and 2 children, at a private holiday camp, on a cliff in Somerset.

    Whilst there, I also had a full house at Bingo.

    My mum won a pile of dog stuff. The dog bath was promptly plugged for a beer fridge on family bbq's. We still have the dog shampoo etc....

    Gav won a 42" flat screen telly a few months ago on the lowest unique bid on Heart FM. He paid £1.62 for it.

    I bought it off of him. He tried to argue when I told him I'd give him what he'd paid for it.

    It might have suffered from damp in the garage anyway.

    I won £5.00 in a talent competition in Arbroath when I was about 6 years old. That was a fortune way back in those days

    Re: So you win again

    I can remember winning the half-time draw two weeks in succession, at my local minor league football team's home games. The prize each time was a bottle of whisky. I was 12. My dad was happy.

    Next week, they changed the prize to money. Of course, I never won again...

    Re: So you win again

    The most I've ever won on a horse was £20.

    Won a few raffle/tombola prizes - a Christmas Hamper one year.

    I didn't think I was lucky, but not many winners on the forum, so maybe I am.


    Who wins those cars?

    Re: So you win again

    My first Xmas with my ex-wife was shaping up to be disastrous. We were skint to start with (but that's another boring story), my 3 month old daughter and my wife had chicken pox and I'd been sent to the North-East on an Army driving course, leaving them way down south in Hampshire.
    Still, she'd been paying into the milkman's xmas hamper fund all year so it wasn't all bad.
    Then she got a message from the milkman to say that they'd over-booked and we weren't getting one, but it's OK because they were giving us the money back. Yep, a cheque 4 days before Xmas was really handy!

    When I arrived at the course a couple of weeks earlier, I handed over my second to last pound for a single raffle ticket. Daft I know, but what good would £1 do us?

    The night before I left, I gladly drunk the beer my colleagues bought for me and put my last £1 in the fruit machine.
    I won £200.

    The following day as I went past the guardroom, the duty Sergeant came running out, shouting at me and ordered me to go back to the admin office. When I got there, a jolly lady told me she'd been trying to get hold of my because I'd won the raffle!, lots of tins, jars and packets of food.

    I got home just in time to be greeted by the milkman, who'd come around to drop off the cheque. Only he didn't have a check, they'd over-booked the cheapo hamper that we'd paid for, but they had a top of the range luxury hamper left over and were giving us that instead!

    Re: So you win again

    I am not sure whether this is what you had in mind Astro.

    I have just been presented with my prize for becoming the 2007 Boavista Golf Club match play winner.
    I cant describe how pleased I was to win that.
    The most pleasing thing is that my name will be on the honours board for ever.


    Oh I was also lucky enough to be part of a syndicate that won both the Premium bond and the Lottery

    Congratulations.

    Did you use the name djtrev on the honours board?
