    My best one (so far) was tickets to the Premiere of Glastonbury the film, night in London hotel, Sony Ericsson MP3 phone and a years supply of Ben and Jerry's Glastonberry ice cream! I entered an MTV/VH1 comp online and then had to go on the radio, head to head with some bloke (?) and then they phoned the day after the film and I reviewed it live on the radio for them!
    If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.

    My best competition win had to be my wedding in Las Vegas in 2000 which I won with the News of the World. Flights, Hotel for five nights in Las Vegas, wedding ceremony in the Monte Carlo Hotel Chapel, limozine, flowers, photos , champagne plus a free stop over so we went to LA for eleven nights. Plus we were given £500 spending money. Our three children also came and my parents and brothers. Had a fantastic wedding and won I could only have ever dreamed off. It really made our wedding very special.
