Be gentle with me, I'm a newbie

Just wondering what people's biggest wins EVER have been.

Apologies if there's already a thread.

[STRIKE]Mine is a meal for four but I need inspiration[/STRIKE]

[STRIKE]UPDATE - Hey, since I first posted, I've won £1,000 with Anchor Butter, £1,000 with McCain Oven Chips and £500 from a Book Company, plus loads of other stuff, over £9k worth of goods and services in total in 12 months.[/STRIKE]

OK,now its a Trip to South Africa then the following day £5k Wooohoo x

My favorite (besides the cash) was the Spa Voucher I spent on BOTOX! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

  • Mine is a barrel of whisky (200 bottles). I spent a day at the distillery filling the barrel and tasting whisky. Also included was an overnight stay at a 5 star hotel.

    Only thing is that I still have at least another 10 years until I get the whisky but can leave it as long as I want.

    If I wait another 10 years the prize is worth £5000, £10000 if I wait another 14 years and if I'm prepared to wait another 23 years around £20000.

    That's all on what the whisky is selling for today so it will be worth more once I get my hands on it. The only thing is that the terms and conditions state that I can't sell the whisky!!

    I have only started comping again after a break of about 2 years! I won various prizes in the 9 months I was comping but the best was a trip to Ireland, flights, hotel and tickets for the piping festival. It also included car hire :) I started comping when the cadbury carnival comp was on and we got so many choc packs through door we had to give most of it away!
    would love to win an ipad!

  • Mine was a trip to Beverley Hills, LA, California.
    Won on here with M&S. Truly was the trip of a lifetime for all the family, and one we would have never afforded otherwise.

    £6700 from a NOTW competition - a simple email entry and in my first few weeks of comping a few years ago - it really gave me the bug! Keep at it, its all numbers, enter as many as you can and hope for a large slice of luck - the little wins will keep you going till the bigger ones come along!

    I've won three 5* UK breaks worth £1,000 or more - One worth around £1,000 + £500 'spending money' and £500 vouchers for outdoor clothing (so about £2,000 all-in), my son won £1,000 to be spent on a weekend in London, the other is a 5* hotel break worth about £1,250 (which I've not taken yet but will probably take in the Spring) :j

    My best cash prize was £1,750 on ITV Real Deal, which we used to spend New Year in Paris - 1 January at Disneyland was really magical! :A

    I've been comping for about 2 and a half years - keep going and enjoy the wins! You will get 'quiet' patches, but the rewards are amazing (and comping is addictive!):D
