    Mine would be the Aerobed (worth £200!) that came last week - although I'm too scared to take it out of the box and have a look at it in case I can't get it back in again!

  • I've won thousands worth of prizes over the years but the one prize that I didnt sell was a all paid trip to london including 4 virgin first class tickets.

    I only went with my mom and sister, so we had a spare ticket. There was this man who when inspected on the train didnt have a ticket, so we gave him the spare one we had.

    I won the prize on Channel 5 a few years ago when I was younger.

    It is very hard to choose as I have been very lucky with my competition wins and I really have three wins which I class as my best win. My best prize had to be my wedding in Las Vegas in 2000 which included, flights, 5 nights in the Monte Carlo Hotel, full wedding package, photos, champagne, flowers, wedding service etc, limozine transfers and £500 spending money. Second family skiing holiday to Italy in 2004 inluding flights, Half board Hotel, skiing lessons and ski equipment , passes etc. Third 3 nights in Las Vegas staying in the Mandalay Hotel with dinner/show, transfers and £300 spending money going on the 29th March and we cant wait.

    My best prize was actually won before I started comping! I was out in a pub with workmates and there was a Brains of Britain Competition being held in the pub and as a laugh my workmates entered me in it - and I won! It was an all expenses paid Safari in Kenya for 8 people!
    :D....It's nice to be nice.....:D
