Biggest Ever Winners!

I was just wondering as I am still quite new to comping what are the biggest prizes won from comping using MSE? I've only been around for a month so I'm not a seasoned pro like most people on here. I think I read somewhere someone won a holiday to India and that someone also once won £5,000:eek:.

Anyone know of any bigger or huge wins?

    I won with Itv a few weeks ago. It was the holiday to Grenada plus £1,000 spending money. It is worth about £10,000 altogether and I am still in utter shock! This was with the Alan Titchmarsh show :)

    If we're not just talking this year, I won £3,000 with the Daily Express a couple of years ago then stopped entering comps. I started again in October this year when I found the threads on this site and have won a mobile phone valued at £165 and a 42" TV valued at £900 this month, I'm still in shock! I can't thank the OPs enough.

  • Won a week in Beverly Hills staying at the Beverly Wilshire which sits at the bottom of Rodeo Drive and is best known for being the hotel in Pretty Woman that Richard Gere's character was staying in. I've seen how much the flights cost too and it sure wasn't cheap!!! Tax and transfers were included. Total holiday cost was probably about the same as the price of a small car.
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
