    I won a "holiday" last year. The terms were all in very broken English straight out of a translator as it was an Italian company, so it was hard working out what was/wasn't included but I entered anyway. The "holiday" turned out to be 2 nights in a 2* hotel in the middle of nowhere in Italy. The nearest airport was miles away and really remote itself, so it worked out it was going to cost us £550 in travel just to get there, let alone the food and cost of hiring a car to drive 3 hours to the hotel etc. The hotel stay itself I could have bought for something like £86 on Trivago, so the £550 travel costs didn't really make it worth it in the end and I didn't go.
    Still holding out hope for another holiday win though :D

    Years ago I won a weekend ferry crossing, to Gothenburg. It was in the winter across the North Sea There was a force 9 gale and I was so sea sick, I was puking every time I stood up. Got there and felt like I was swaying until it was time to get aboard again! :(
