Just wondering, all I've won that's semi decent is an xbox controller and tetris (which is still in its shrinkwrap).

Can anyone else top that? :p
 
Well, when I was younger (primary school) we had a christmas raffle every year. And somehow, every year I won about £200 worth of alcohol! :D

Beat that ;)
 
I won £1 in a bank account at TSB when I was 7 or something, never actually used it.

KaHn
 
I've not really won anything major, though walking through town I have won a cruise (hah...yeah sure from some dubious woman), and a tin of biscuits which was nice :).

Oh, and I won a small radio once as well but that's it really.
 
I won a Geforce256 when they first came out :) Was worth about £300 iirc back then.
Still working in my download box atm :D
 
I won $3 from a $2 scratchy

Then lost the $3 on a $3 scratchy

I should have quit while i was ahead :(

Did u win the lottery Sequoia? i think u once posted that a relitive won it. Was that relitive really u? and if so would u like to donate some to me :D
 
I won a Thunderbirds lookalike competition in the local newspaper back in 1990. My mum posted in a photo of me as a 'Brains' lookalike and I won. I got a tour of the Tayto crisps factory while wearing my Thunderbirds uniform, free crisps for x months and a feature article in the paper with photographs taken throughout the day.

Quite a prize when you think about it. You're the first people I've told about it though :D
 
I won a Big Country (probably before most of all your lot's time :o ) LP in a raffle!

Never got to hear what it was like; we played frisbee with it outside and smashed it.
 
I've won lots of prizes in school such as £75.00 and a cup for getting the best AS results and loads of other smaller prizes. This year i'm hoping to enter a flute competition (if it is on) where the prize is usually a £3k flute. My teacher is pretty confident that I will win it so fingers crossed :D.

haha, i did the exact same thing, must have been mid 90's :D I was wearing the thunderbirds uniform, blue stash and everything. Can't remember what I won for it, some certificate no doubt.

I recall winning a giant inflatable banana at Asda when i was younger. Apart from that, its been nothing but free dinners by doing stupid things around the flat :rolleyes:
