The Luckiest?

Posts: 4 Newbie
When I was very young (im now 23) I recall winning a story tape and tickets to see Beethoven (the movie with the St.Bernard). Luckily, the things Ive been winning have improved a lot since then.
At fourteen I won a box full of goodies (hairdryer, products etc.)from a magazine.
At fifteen I won a playstation.....
.....then a mountain bike (seperate competitions)
At sixteen I won a club med all inclusive holiday for four to Marbella.
At twenty one I won a HP Compaq Laptop.
:money:
Im intrigued, can anyone better me for competition winning frequency?

Not much of a lucky streak from 16 - 21 then! You do seem to have lucky as your middle name! I won £2000 once on a free bingo card I was handed in the street!I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes0 -
Competition winning frequency is quite good for me, as I win something every couple of weeks or so. Saying that, they are only little prizes, like a tub of ice cream, or Avon instant wins. Tha biggest (money-wise) prize I have won, would be the tickets to see Beauty and the Beast stage show with a pre-show dinner thrown in. That was fab, but won nothing like it since.0
