    I won a trip to London to see Madonna in tour in 2004, first class train and hotel accommodation provided. We were sitting right at the back but still free and a great time had by my husband and I.

    I won a trip for 2 to Las Vegas and a helicopter ride over The Strip. We stayed in the Luxor pyramid and had to use the travelator to get to our room.
    It's the most amazing, craziest place I've ever been to and I loved it.

    This was won from a comp on the AOL homepage, so anyone on AOL, there is hope.

    Just for a laugh last year I sent in a coupon from the weekly local paper, and the next week a delivery man was at the door with a 27" lcd flat panel tv!!!! :) Fortunately, I did not have my picture in the paper with it!!!!!

  • I've won loads and loads of smallish prizes, but as yet, nowt big.

    I think the best prizes have been 2 ipod nano's, an Ipod mini and a signed England shirt (though the way they're playing right now, not worth a penny!)

    However, I got confirmation that I'm in the final 100 for the Trip to India prize from Yazoo Milkshakes today, which includes a trip to london for the draw. Fingers crossed!
    never knowingly underwhelmed.

    I never win anything. I couldnt even win a dead dog in a raffle.
    I came into this world with nothing and I'm gonna leave with nothing.
