Have you ever won a money can't buy prize? Though I know winning a car, holiday or a large cash prize can be life changing I'm more interested in those wins that you would find hard to purchase.
Film Premiere, meet and greet a star, behind the scenes access to an event/TV Show etc or something such as full access to a sports team or event.

Yes, I won mine and my hubby's name on a F1 Grand Prix car in the 2012 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The competition was run by Whyte & MacKay (whisky) who sponsored the Force India Team and due to alcohol brands not being allowed to be advertised, they came up with the amazing idea to run a comp with the winners name on both cars.
It was amazing to watch and we got a mention from Crofty when the cars were in the garage before the race, We also got signed shirts and photographs from the team who were then Paul Di Resta and Niko Hulkenberg. Along with a nice bottle of Whyte and MacKay whisky.
My hubby was absolutely over the moon being an avid F1 fan and it really was a money cannot buy prize.The best things in life are free.....0 -
we won 2 nights at the Cannes film festival a few years ago staying in one of the best Hotel in Cannes 'The Carlton' and walk up the Red carpet to a film preview.
Last year won a ride in one of the support cars following the Tour De Yorkshire, had a fantastic day out.I do it just for fun and whatever I win is a bonus0
