Ever won anything of value?

£500 pc back in 2000, sold it and got a TV and PS2, as I already had a good PC.

but since then nothing, I used to win the raffle every year in school for about 4 years though
 
Two cars in the space of 3 months.

The first was a Peugeot GTi 180 from a Scratch and Win ticket bought whilst exiting the supermarket in my home town. Suffice to say me and my missus did a pretty rapid U-Turn back to the ticket desk at which time the chick behind the counter swiped it/ tore it in half and said - "$1, do you want that in cash or in another ticket"... the double take was awesome.

The second was a Subaru WRX Impreza Petter Solberg special edition (not the STi version unfortunately) won from a Coke text and win comp - I was working on a tech helpdesk at the time when it came through. I had to palm the woman off pretty rapidly because I lost the ability to articulate clearly.

Sold them both for a rather unfortunate loss - driving them off the lot is an instant massive depreciation and the dealers don't want to buy them off you unless they make a decent whack.
 
Only thing I've ever won was a colouring in competition at primary school - won a trip to go and see Keith Harris and Orville & Cuddles in Belfast! Wow.
 
Sennheiser IE7s that retail at about £170, a couple of years ago in a work Christmas draw thing.

Year before that I got a printer worth about £60-80 or something.

That's it though.
 
Won a PS3 a couple of months back for doing a IT survey, was well chuffed as we were thinking of getting a Blu-Ray player at the time and it saved me spending the cash. :)
 
Won a 4 figure sum through premium bonds a few years ago (won a few smaller prizes, £25/£50, as well).

I've also won free rugby tickets and a £100 on a scratch card (split with my gran) yonks ago.
