I need some motivation! What's the best thing you've ever won?
I'll start us off, when I used to comp years ago I won a voucher for hair styling products, which was for a few hundred pounds. Still use the products to this day!

It's lovely to win something you really appreciate.
My best win was £2000 from a Radio City competition a couple of years ago, but through the years have had a few favourites. I won a Warners holiday several years ago, and we enjoyed it so much have been back many times. Have also won a Dualit toaster, which is great to use, also ipads and vouchers.
I used to win quite a few prizes, but not as many now.2 -

monetary wise it was £1000 cheque - which was lovely, but mainly used for household/vet bills, so I didn't really have anything to show for it.
Best was probably £1000 worth of red letter day vouchers, which were used primarily for food rather than 'experiences' - included a year subsciption to monthly chocolate deliveries (x2) and several spice subscriptions - I still pay for the spice deliveries now, they were so good.
Other good prizes include:
55inch TV
a years supply of salmon (I have bought this since)
Mashooq hair oil (have bought since)
large supply of both Jakeman cough sweets and riccola sweets - these were shared with my walk group and greatly appreciated
most unusual was a giant snicker bar - about a foot long!
Product of the year goodie bag is always entertaining to unpack!
I appreciate all my prizes - large and small - as i only enter those that i or my family can use/like (besides i just don't have the enthusiasm or time to enter everything!) however I normally win something every month.
There does appear to be fewer of the big prizes about and more of the little ones though3 -

Over 35 years there’s been lots of great wins, Peugeot 106XT, Rover Metro Gti, holiday in Monaco in the Fairmont hotel and more, but best must be Hits radio win of £23,803.17 last year.1

I have only comping for a few weeks only and last week I won an Amanda West, handmade cushion and lampshade, worth about £150. She called me up to tell me I had won. I was delighted.1

I won £50,000 with absolute radio last August and have won 5 foreign holidays with the best one being two weeks in Australia. I’ve also won lots of days out and electronics.1
