I didn't receive the £5 gift voucher from Acorn User which I should have got because the mag went belly up. I'd written a little piece of code for the Electron that played Moonlight Sonata having heard it on Jet Set Willy.
I won a sombrero once as a runner up prize in a competition to win a Gameboy with the "Speedy Gonzalez" game (this is a looooooooooooooooong time ago), that's about it!
A kids guide to spying book. I got it for shifting all my school raffle tickets when I went home for dinner. It was a pretty good book, hints and tips on how to record peoples conversations without them knowing etc.
back on topic: i've never won anything through luck / prize draws / raffles, but have won money from poker tourneys (maybe that is luck actually) + trophies from football tourneys, etc.
Like it - always wondered who came first, I think I did actually look for the first place card once...
I did come third on a video game quiz show that was done for Gamer.TV, I was cruelly robbed by some dodgy questions in the third round. I did get a load of gaming loot though - including an inflatable boxing glove from some random PS boxing game
Well best thing i've ever won £300 in bets on me in a drinking competition against my mate jake. I woke up the next morning thinking I was going to die and forced myself down to the cafe to spend some of my winnings on a massive fry up.
Last thing that I won, was probably a copy of "Classic FM at the movies", for some late night radio show thing.. Didn't even know I'd won until a few weeks later when the damn thing arrived.
