We've just been discussing holiday comps at MSE Towers and saying perhaps we should focus on those so we don't have to buy a holiday next year!

Have you won a holiday?

If you have we'd love to know where to and how much the prize package was worth!

    New york for five nights

    Vancouver for a week.

    Great wins & memories to cherish.

    I would guess that the NY win was worth circa £2K & the Vancouver win was about £4K
  • I won a flight vouchers with Monarch - so went to Spain

    I also won the Ramada grand prize a couple of years ago - 14 night stays at any wyndham hotel and £3000 in flight vouchers :eek:

    So with that we managed to go to Thailand, Dubai, Sydney & Miami (not all in one go :beer:)

    Best win I've ever had and best holiday

    I was lucky enough to win 3 long-haul holidays in 2012! The first was actually a wedding package to the Bahamas including dress, rings, evening reception, 2 guests etc etc and my hubby and I estimated the prize to be worth £20,000.


    Then I won a trip for 2 to the Cayman Islands and I remember they advertised the value of that trip as £4,500. Then I won a trip to South Africa which was valued at £5,500.


    I had a cracking time over that 12 month period! And I'm always entering holiday comps as they are my favourite ones - I'm desperately trying to win one for 2016 :)

    I've won 2 fabulous holidays, the first a weeks family holiday to Las Vegas and a ranch near the Grand Canyon worth about £5000.

    We went on the second this past summer, 2 weeks family fly drive to Florida, the budget was £7000 and we could pick where we wanted to go, we chose Orlando, St Petes Beach, and Naples with some fabulous hotels.



    Holidays and short breaks are my favourite wins, fingers crossed I'll be lucky enough to win again some time:)
