     My best win was an iPhone 16 this year with a years free unlimited contract with smarty.
     This was a radio competition and when they phoned I asked could my husband do the quiz on air because I was too nervous and they agreed.

    One of my best wins was a long while ago, when I'd only enter a handful of competitions and rarely ever online. I'd sent off a completed word search from one of those puzzle magazines in the post. A while later, I got a cheque for £1000 which was a very big surprise.

    I got a 'Product of the Year' goodie bag this year, which was very useful (I used some things myself and the rest I shared with family).

    I'd love to win a holiday, that's what I keep trying for at the moment! 
  • I guess the prize I remember the most was a week in a villa in Minorca,own pool 2 minutes fron lovely quiet bay.
