    My best wins were on the old slogan/paper comps (pre computer) when we went to Florida (with entry tix and spending money) and also winning a trip on Concorde! Worst prize - an empty jiffy bag, torn in the mail and sealed with apologies containing nothing! No idea from where it came or anything.

    Best win - Family holiday to Sydney Australia with loads of activities and tickets thrown in (worth about £9000).

    Went last Christmas and met up with family over there for Christmas Day - the children will never forget feeding kangaroos and stroking a koala bear and I will never forget climbing the Harbour Bridge.

    Worst win - a Surfs Up poster which is obviously left over from a cinema as it has "coming to a cinema August 07" (I only won it last month!). I got the booby prize - the main prize was a holiday to Florida!

    My best wins are my trip to LA with Warner Brothers and we get to go in the car from Bladerunner, have dinner at Harrisons Fords son restaurant and get a vip tour of Warner Brothers plus 4 nights in a posh hotel. We are going in November so cannot wait. My other great prize was a waterproof, shockproof camera.
    I cannot think of a bad win as all my wins are gratefully received.
