    I won a T-shirt in a caption competition circa 1982. And the hand of my fair maiden in 1988, does that count?
    Fiscal drag, that's my problem. Too many people dragging on my fiscals.

    To answer fluffynit, yes my friend has had lists of topic related tiebreakers which she could adapt, but she won a Smart car with her very own work I have to say. She sold it as it was a two seater and she has a hubby and 3 kiddies!!!
  • Hi all,

    Last year (At Christmas) i won King Kong Premierre Tickets. This included 4 nights in the 5* Manderin Oriental in Hyde Park London, 2 x Spa Treatments each in the Hotel, a meal for 2 at Jamie Oliver's Resteraunt 15, £400 Selfridges Vouchers and Chauffeur driven cars to and from the premierre.
    To top it off whilst in Selfridges my wife won a £600 bottle of Ralph Lauren aftershave.

    We had an excellent time and i have been adicted to Comps ever since.

    I won a brand new VW Golf Mk5 1.4 in a raffle.

    That was nice :)

    Promptly flogged it and went travelling
  • In June 2002, i won £500 worth of vouchers to spend in Allders.
  • I know the woman who won the Daily Mail cottage competition (£325000) worth. The cottage was close to Bury St. Edmunds. I regularly do competitions and this was the first one she had ever entered!!!! She almost couldn't bring herself to tell me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have won loads of competitions but my four top prizes were my wedding in Las Vegas which included the wedding service, limozine, hotel accomodation, flights, flowers, photos etc plus £500 spending money in 2000. In 2001 Iwon a mini cruise to Germany and in 2003 won a family holiday skiing in Italy. All these holidays were fantastic, my forth top prize was £300 worth of sports stuff. I have also won lots of smaller prizes, books, tickets, kids stuff. prizefinder.com
    is a great site for competitions.
    Competitions wins 2010
