Mine is a toss up between the Designer bag and purse set I won two years ago (second prize in my first year of comping!) and last year I won a £200 Lego bundle. Not much in comparison to other peoples big wins but both were very appreciated!

Oh and I won £250 shoe vouchers last year that were a very welcome prize, I was able to treat my mum, sister and me to much needed summer shoes.2018 wins-12wins0 -
My biggest win in the 4.5 years I've been comping was £2000 from a radio station competition.
Other than that, I've won a few things around the £200 mark - from Love2Shop and Red Letter vouchers to an iPad, a set of tyres and a Sonos speaker.
Those kind of wins have been extremely few and far between though, with most of my prizes not even hitting the £20 mark!!0 -

In that case there will not be much to beat the ITV winners

I have won a brand new car a few years ago.. that's my biggest win I think.
a few years ago also I won with Currys - it was a christmas competition - think it was daily - you won your wishlist so I won a 3D TV, xbox one, 2 touch screen laptops and a Dyson cordless hoover all in one prize (that was a good Christmas!)
I have won some really really good things over the years so I feel very lucky.. trip on the Orient Express which was one of my favourite wins.
about 9 months ago I won a 55" 3D tv and a cinema system - I was moving house and wasn't living at my old house anymore - just spending the week cleaning the empty house before handing back the keys.. this is when the TV turned up - no notification.... very lucky that it wasn't a few days later or I wouldn't have received it :eek:
I could sit here for a while listing my good wins - but I have been comping for over 10 years so I will leave it there :rotfl:
I wish good luck to all - hope there's lots more 'best' wins to come for everyone! :AApril 2014: A CAR!!!!!! :j 60th Anniversary Edition of Playboy mag signed by Hugh Hefner/Family pass to Twinlakes Family Theme Park/Rio 2 Goodies/£15 Promod Voucher/Nivea Sensitive Prize pack/John Frieda Cosmetic bag and bits/Tickets to New Kids On The Block + Meet and Greet0
