Best thing you have won?

Have won £30 in a pub quiz with a few mates. Being a uni bar and all that it paid for quite a few pints

Also won a gig of ram in a UT2004 tourney at a LAN a few weeks back which was nice, although I haven't actually used it yet.....

I won about £70 on the lottery when I was younger. Was good as I was still living with my parents so it seemed like a lot of money

Phil won a honking great bottle of champagne at the A1GP at Brands last year which we haven't drunk yet, and a prize that he keeps as long as he is the Lotus Motor Club champion, which is one of Ayrton Sennas steering wheels

How quick was that? Hadn't even finished chucking in my emo reference!

Erm, got with a girl I thought the world of, bought a house, got settled and shared all the same long term goals as her. My short term ones were based around spending time with what she referred to as 'unsavoury' characters. I thought she was just being controlling. Turns out she was just wiser than me and knew what she was talking about. Ho hum.

When I was about 12 I came 2nd in a prize draw and won a helmet from a local bike shop. I was so excited until I found out what the kid who came first won; a bike
