successive wins of same item?

Options
Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has/ knows anyone who has ever won the same prize or type of prize on a number of different individual occasions? e.g. winning 6 iPads one after the other? I know Frankie Gibson has won a few guitars but not sure how many. I know we've all won nothing time and time again at some point but I was just curious.

Thanks

    I've won 2 iPad minis - one in January 2013 and the second in the May of the same year. I've also had two Alvin & the Chipmunks goodie bags delivered within a few days of each other from two different comps.

    Never had 6 of the same item though :o
    Thanks to all posters :A

    I always enter numerous competitions for tickets to exhibitions (good food show etc) and have always ended up with lots of pairs of tickets. Think i managed to win 5 pairs of tickets for The Clothes Show one year, thats been the record for me.

    It tends to happen with tickets for things i think, probably as some of the events are quite specified so have less entries so you are more likely to win (still, theres always the chance you won't win so you still have to enter lots)

    is that 5 pairs of tickets to the clothes show at a single venue or were there a number of shows that you could go to in different places?

    I wonder if there is a record for number of washing machines ever won by an individual. Worth an entry into the Guinness book I think

    Its on at the NEC over a few days, so you could choose the day you wished to attend. Theyve changed it now so you cant choose saturday and i think its the case for most shows now if you have complimentary tickets
