    I've still not had any big wins but I love the little treats too as they're things I can't really afford at the moment.

    My biggest win in terms of financial value was a £100 cheque.

    My biggest win in terms of personal value was being part of the videoshoot for AC/DC's single Rock N Roll Train. One of the best days ever. I even got a T shirt and lunch as a thank you pressie from the boys (as did all the other winners too).

    I entered a comp last year and won a sat nav system for the car worth £999 from halfords. I've now in the last 2 weeks started entering again after finding the threads on here and have already won two tickets to see counting crows. I find the possible chance of a win really thrilling and such an addiction now :-)
