The BEST and WORST

Best - The thrill of the chase and the wimning of course

Worst - All the spam, and stupid emails like 'congratulations, you have not won'

Best - Winning! Even if it something small it gives me a buzz especially if I haven't won something for a while.

Worst - The 'Congratulations' but you haven't won emails. Why do they exist!
The email header says 'Congratulations' and inside the email says something like 'to our winner, who isn't you'
Well why don't they just email the winner and be done with it, the rest of us don't need to be told we've lost.

Best - Email notification with subject line: CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WIN!

Worst - Opening said email to find - to our winner *random name not mine* on winning our fabulous prize, here's 5% off our stuff to make you feel better that it wasn't you.

The thing is these radio stations run so many comps they will not know if you have won a competition a few months a go. I know someone who won more than one £1,000 prize within a short amount of time and still got it.

Best - trying new things that I couldn't have afforded and finding new hobbies and of course being able to treat my family to the same.

Worst - having to chase up unreceived prizes and sometimes just giving up on them. It takes enough effort to win but to then not get the prize is gutting. I have 3 outstanding prizes that I'm chasing atm, 1 from early June, and it's driving me nuts.
