    A few years ago won £13000 on the Postcode Lottery, if that counts; otherwise, during the late 1980s/early 1990s won a Rover Metro GTi and 3 years later, a Peugeot 106XT

    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.

    Name Dropper First Anniversary First Post I won, I won, I won!
    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!!

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

    I think my biggest wins were john lewis vouchers from an instant win through a search engine years ago... won quite a few times so was quite a substantial amount
    Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:
  • 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! :A
