I've won a few bits and bobs but the best thing was many years ago - a Dreamcast console from a competition I saw on the TV!

Thought it'd be interesting to see what kind of things people have won.
 
I won a hamper of own brand stuff at primary school. Figures that's the day I never got picked up from school and had to lug the beast home.

Never won anything valuable, high hopes for one of these hexus contests someday!
 
Sidewinder X5 mouse from CVG back in 2008 (I think). Can't remember the competition, think it was 1 winner a day during October and didn't find out until it turned up (In December)

Still use it today.
 
James Bond watch. It was sent from MGM studios in New York and they didn't mark it as a gift so got stung with import duty from Fedex :(
 
my mate won a raffle, well he was first picked (there were a tonne of prizes) and everyone thought "well, there is the tv gone" rather than taking the 42 inch tv he went up and grabbed a boardgame and when he came back everyone looked at him like "wtf is wrong with you" it took him a few seconds before he realized he should have taken the TV. To be fair to him, he already had one and didnt need a new one, however he could have sold it
 
I won 4 Enermax fans from a competition on here :). That and £10 on the lottery are pretty much it i think.
 
A suitcase when I was little then I went on wacaday with timmy mellett and lost. Won a few bits n bobs at bingo. nothing massive. Lottery useless :p
 
I win little prizes (£25-£100) on my premium bonds a couple of times a year. Nothing much more exciting than that, though I live in hope!!
 
I won four Ferrero Rochers in Year 4 for winning the class spelling test.

But that was a prize for demonstration of skill. Have I ever randomly won anything, I'm not sure, cant remember if I have, so probably not.

When I was a kid I won a Biker Mice from Mars competition. I got all the biker mice, their bikes and base. The letter to say I'd won arrived on my birthday.

I also won a competition whilst I still worked in the UK. I got to choose any ski salomon had in stock, so I got some rocker 112s. Then convinced the product manager to throw in some bindings as well. Flogged them all and went on holiday to Austria.
 
When I was about 5 or 6 (I think), I called up the show that Phillip Schofield had in the mornings.

The competition was "first person to call this number and name all the planets in order"

I called up and named them correctly, but didn't know my address or phone number :( So never had anything :( Parents weren't in the house at the time. Gutted
 
I've won a smart phone and a motherboard on two seperate occasions at a LAN in Norway, 1000 air miles many years ago randomly on something I never remember signing up for O_o.

There was a random draw for an awesome top of the range PC at the above lan and the person in the queue in front of me won it, :(.
