Giving prizes away...

After just writing my last post 'On a winning streak!!' I was just wondering if any MSE's have given away their prizes before to people who appreciated it more than they themselves would have done.

It'd be nice to hear stories of how MSE has helped out other people and the great feeling of helping someone out and doing something nice for someone else, especially people you don't know...

Cheers,

    I'd love to give some away but haven't won any yet :rotfl:

    Nice to see others giving them away though.

    My mum once won a whole kitchen full of appliances and gave away most of it, dish washer, tumble dryer, iron etc. I think we only kept the fridge and washer, there were loads of prizes! The neighbours were very happy as most were struggling. She won it all at the bingo hall by the way. :)

  • That's great. It's nice to be able to be generous and make a difference to someone, however small.
