    Best win was a 2 night break in New York, included flights, 4* hotel with drinks and breakfast and a Broadway show. I extended the break for another night and took my Mum with me, she had never been and loved it.

    Now just need to win another great holiday for me and the OH - so he doesn't feel left out. However we have got a great weekend in the Cotswolds this weekend with a Mazda MX5 too, another win.
    BEST WIN LAST YEAR - MULBERRY HANDBAG
    SENDING STICKY VIBES TO THOSE WHO NEED THEM :)
  • Last year I won a family hoilday to Hollywood! We stayed at the Sheraton Universal, which was lovely, and we went to a mask making studio where they made latex masks and special effects for the movies. We had a wonderful time at Universal Studios. It was around Halloween time last year and everything was decorated in Halloween style. We were given a hire car for the duration of our stay, and just to drive down the very streets we had only seen on TV was simply amazing.
    The bit that excited me the most though, was actually seeing the giant Hollywood sign on the hillside. That's an experience I'll never, ever forget.

    Another win more recently that had me skipping around the kitchen, screeching at the top of my voice was when I won tickets to see Bon Jovi. I sooo wanted to go and see them at the O2, but just couldn't afford it. It was fantastic to be there and see them perform. I wanted to go again!
    And then, guess what? I won tickets to see them again! We saw them perform on the last night of their UK tour, supported by Kid Rock (who was just amaaazing)

    I am one, happy and eternally grateful person. Thank you so much to all who post comps. I'm indebted to you all. xx
  • wow, This is excellent, I just hope to be as lucky as some of you. I started at the begining of this month and am still yet to score but I know i will.

    I once won tickets to fly to portugal and watch England V's swizterland in the euros. I hope I didnt use up all of my allocated luck in that one win lol.

    My biggest one was a few weeks after starting comping 2 years ago - £6800 from a NOTW email comp!
    I have been lucky and won many many prizes since then £1000 with pepsi, gold coin worth £500 (which just turned up in the post!) but one I really wanted was a me 2 you journal that you pass to someone (in this case my mum) and she answers the questions and then gives me the book back, a simply brilliant idea, and I was DELIGHTED to have won that comp, although the monetary value was low.
    Everyone on this board is great, enter as many as you can its all about numbers and a big ole dollop of fairy luck!
    Thanks to everyone who posts, and good luck to all

    My best win is one i won recently and that is the Ben 10 screening tickets. My eldest son has autism and is ben 10 obsessed, it was just seeing his face when I told him we'd won - like all his christmases had come at once (he'd been going on about the comp for weeks - wanting to know if we'd won at all) and im looking forward to taking him this saturday - huge thanks again to Lakshmi

    xx

    Oh how lovely, You just brought I tear to my eye! Enjoy Saturday... you deserve it

  • Most valuable win was probably a signed Lance Armstrong cycling jersey. Latest best win was an Amazon Kindle.

    Most of my wins are heading under the christmas tree this year I think.

    5 nights all inclusive at a 4 star hotel in Cardiff which includes dinner and welcome to Wales concert, Tour of Cardiff, Tickets to the players opening ball, 3 Days in the European Hospitality facility, tickets to the closing ball and various other dinners along the way - and it starts tomorrow!!!! Won through mastercard - PRICELESS!!! (Oh it's for the Ryder Cup, forgot to mention)

    Thinking that will be my best ever win - but it will have to go some to beating a VIP day for me and 3 mates cycling around Manchester Velodrome with the legend that is Sir Chris Hoy and £1200 vouchers to spend on bikes!!

    Still loving comping and just into year 2 - thanks to all who post these comps!!

    Only started comping seriously at the beginning of this year as work full-time but best win to date was the holiday to the World Cup in South Africa with Visa (after not having had a holiday for 10 years it was very welcomed). And also one that i'm cherishing at the moment is the annual pass to Woburn Safari Park that I won through Magic FM - i love visiting the safari and am going to visit as many times as i can whilst my pass is still valid.
