My Best 5 wins, might not be my most expensive but meant the most to me
1, Holiday to Australia to watch the last two ashes tests, Chrismas and new Year in Australia, Met loads of players and was at Sydney Harbour Bridge for New Year fireworks (best win Eva, dont think I will win anything again that will come close)
2, My Tissot Watch (love it)
3, £500 Liverpool one vouchers (bought an IPAD)
4, Yearly subsription to Guardian and Observer Newspapers
5, Adida zig zag trainers ( so comfortable and wear them nearly all the time)Blessed on 18th February 2014 at 0814 with little Sarah xxx0 -
so im going to go for:
1. NYE 2011 in barcelona - 5* hotel for 4 nights, free champagne bar during NYE (£2000)
2. 5 days/4 nights in SERBIA at Exit Festival ! (£2000)
3. Aga wood burning stove - (£1000) - 1 in 15,000 chance and i won!
4. 2 x tickets to jamie olvier magazine event - 6 courses in a michelin starred restaurant in central london
5. 2 nights in Isle of Wight 4* hotel - 3 course meal included
those are my favourite five, but the best thing for me about comping, especially living in central london, is the events/parties/things that i get to go to that i would never normally go to - i.e vip to wembley to watch footy, or the nights out at launch events with free drinks!!!
for some reason i have never won money - the big wins always seems to be holidays/weeekend breaks, however saying that comping has totally changed my life!!! ( i totted up last years prizes and it came to just under £10K !!!!)0 -
