    I won my place in an AC/DC music video; for Rock And Roll Train, and had a great trip to London for the filming of said video. Money can't buy that kind of prize.

    I did also really appreciate £600 of Amazon vouchers which I won as a prize earlier this year, and I bought the Adobe CS 5.5 master collection with it (at a student rate as a student)...so basically: £2500ish software retails at £525 to a student and I was able to pay for it entirely with the vouchers and even use the rest towards a printer.

    My best win was with the x-factor around 3 years ago. I won a 37" Sony LCD tv, Phillips home cinema system, Xbox360 elite & an Acer laptop. It was circa £1750 value.

    This was won via the free on-line entry route! :T

    So never give up, remember it is possible to win this way! :D
