  • My biggest win was a 5 night holiday to Hawaii, staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Worth about £4,000. A trip of a lifetime which myself and my partner thoroughly enjoyed and dream of going back asap!

    My biggest win was our wedding in the Bahamas! They paid for me, my hubby and two witnesses to go and we stayed for a week at a 4 star hotel with all meals and drinks inlcuded. We also got our wedding rings worth £500, my wedding dress which was £1000, the wedding, a reception in the Bahamas for 12 of us, and a videographer to video the whole thing.

    In addition to this, while we were there we were treated to several cocktail receptions and meals at 5* restaurants. We were treated like vip's the whole time and it was an amazing experience.

    In addition to this I won a trip to Florida around 15 years ago, a trip to South Africa last year and a few weeks ago I won a trip to the Cayman Inslands - we are going next July.

    So I consider myself to be incredibly lucky when it comes to competitions. On my list of things to win now is a trip to New York and also I'd ove to win a trip to Orlando for the whole family.

    You've got to be in it to win it! :D
  • Only been comping since January, but have won some lovely things, best by far was an all expenses paid trip to London with Hotel, Hair & Make Up,and Launch Party with Carte Noire about £650 estimate. Brilliant

    I won a customised Honda CBR450 which was worth around £6000.

    When I was comping solid for about 2 years, I totaled over £40,000 of prizes and that was being conservative with the estimates.
