Bizzare win!

I got a card through from the Royal mail yesterday and this morning my OH went to collect it for me. Was quite excited as was hoping it was a win! Well, it was a win, but a strange one... a green frisbee and cones, a persil t-shirt for a 9 year old and a daybreak swimming bag!

I couldn't stop laughing, I don't have kids!

Going to give the prize to a friend but how random! Any ideas which comp it could be?


:heart:Thanks to all those lovely peeps who post comps! :heart:

  • It was an ITV one, they had 10,000 to give away. It was the only prize so you must have entered to win that.

  • Ha! I also came home to one of these, hoping it was my first proper win ;)

    Daybreak gave out 10,000 of these i believe. When i felt the package i thought, designer handbag!

    Luckily we have little ones in the house but what do you do with the ball and cones?

    Just been made redundant and started comping then so just about 10 days since discovering these posts..fingers crossed for something to lift our spirits :)
    Best wins: Holiday to San Francisco, Full sky package + TV, Rewind Festival tickets & Snoozebox, 5* London hotel stay, £1000 B&Q

    It would have been from This post. :)
  • Yes was just going to say why is it bizarre when it was clearly stated on the comp what the prize was?

  • Thanks for the replies. I honestly can't remember entering it and I don't know why I would! But ah well, my friends kids will enjoy it I hope :)

    You're probably like me - entered because you saw there were 10,000 of them and thought you might finally win something! :rotfl:
  • Haha! You know what, that might be it. I've been ill with glandular fever this last month and have been stuck in bed entering comps.

  • I've just had one delivered this morning!
    I shall take the sports stuff to school (I teach reception) and add it to our general sports stash, and put the t-shirt in our spare clothes box! After all, it'll never fit me!
    Because it's fun to have money!

    I got one this morning also and its my only win this month up until now. The yellow bag I'm going to keep - always handy for wet towels after swimming etc.

    My daughter would kill me if I gave the grandbubs the whistle -would likely to drive her mad :rotfl:

    I'm sure I'll find a home for all the other bits and bobs and a 9 year old child for the t-shirt, although they probably wouldn't be seen dead in it.

    Anybody know what to do with the rings ?

    Edit : Just seen flubberyzing's post. That's a good idea I'll send it into the school.

    I am wondering what to do with the balls and cones too, the kids spend over an hour trying to roll the ball into the hole in the cones but it's impossible, they are now using them as hats :rotfl: i can't figure it out but thanks to the poster :)
