    Tenth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    wow Chopstheduck! can i ask if the comps you've won have been from tie breakers or FB or Twitter or just draws? (i'm hoping also for more experiences than technology)

    One facebook, the other three just normal draws. I agree, the experiences are the best bit about comping, the stuff money can't buy. I absolutely LOVE film premieres - done two, hoping for more this year. I was at Batman, it was amazing - standing next to Morgan Freeman :rotfl:

    My best was a win with Schuh/ Fred Perry. I won a pair of shoes... but the shoes weren't in stock. Nice man at Fred Perry asked me to make a list of clothing instead as it was near Christmas and stock levels were all over the place. He got to choose from my list, I was expecting maybe a jumper but ended up with over £1000 worth of clothes!

    really enjoying reading this thread!! well done everyone and good luck for 2013! :beer:

    My biggest wins have to be my holidays.

    Over the course of 3 years myself and my other half have had:

    Vegas and Arizona 5* with excursions, suites and limos everywhere.
    Venice trip at The Hilton
    5 nights in LA with spends.
    Cape town with business flights
    and coming up in 2013 - 10 nights in the British Virgin Islands - CANNOT wait! :D:D:D

    Holidays are definitely my fave thing to win.

    However my most useful wins have to be: ipad, lovely rug for the living room and £500 homebase voucher for a new sofa as ours is falling to pieces!


    The thing i want to win this year is a cash win big enough to get myself and my other half on the property ladder. (i know i know never going to happen....but go big or go home right????:rotfl:)

    Well done!

    Sorry for the double post, just reading through the thread, it's nice to see everyone receiving such nice things. Some of you have been so lucky winning so many holidays! I hope I can win one to America soon :) I've spent my whole life wishing to go there but never had chance yet! (And I'm about to hit 26 - the slippery slope to 30 haha)

    Hi all,

    Sorry if this isn't the right place, but just wondered:

    What's been your best win so far??

    and

    How long after the closing date did you hear about your win?


    No reason really, just nosey and want to be inspired by you lucky people :) :T

    10,000 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
  • My best win has to be a 4 night break to Bavaria. :D

    It included:
    2 nights B&B for two in a double room at the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Starnberg near Munich
    2 nights B&B for two in in a double room in Prien at Lake Chiemsee
    Boat trip to the islands of Herrenchiemsee and Fraueninsel
    Free visit to the King`s Palace of Herrenchiemsee
    2 Bayern Tickets - Train tickets which allow up to 5 adults travelling together in all regional trains in Bavaria for one day
    €400 towards travel costs

    As I far as I can recall I was notified fairly quickly. It was the main prize in an advent competition, and I got the email saying i'd won at the end of December.

    So far my best win is a night in a 4* hotel in London for 4 people (2 rooms) including tickets to the theatre and a meal out before the show.
    We'll be going on July 19th :D

    I was sent an email the day the comp ended which was also the day I went on holiday for 8 days and had no internet connection.
    The day I got home I had an email saying if I didn't reply by that afternoon they were going to re-draw....so I got home just in time!
