Best or biggest prize ever won.

Does winning a tidy sum with Premium Bonds count?

Not really a big amount in today's world, but when you're 14 you think you've won the jackpot...!! :D
 
I won a signed Billy Bragg boxset.....it was second prize and some numpty before me chose a FMB (remember them? "Reality TV" indie band) signed poster.
 
I won tickets to see England s Greece courtesy of the Metro newspaper. Almost blew my chance when Phil Lucky phoned me up to congratulate me and i was pretty rude to the guy as i thought it was someone winding me up.

Turns out its his real name, his parents must have known he'd be handing out competition prizes for a living.
 
I won the following:

* £175 worth of red letter days vouchers from a mortgage lender
* £200 worth of vouchers from my employers Yorkshire Bulding Society at the time. ( I spent it on a trip to Bournemouth with Smiffy, CS J etc etc)
* Beautiful Baby contest.
* Golden Boot (Runner up) in 1982 World Cup.

I can't think of anything I've won, how depressing.

A girl at uni won £168,000 on the lottery the other day, unsuprisingly she got smashed straight away.

You would have thought she'd be sensible and save it to pay off her debt :D

I've won bottles of wine, Book Vouchers....nothing special.
 
£1,000 in the SUSCT Christmas draw a few years ago
A bottle of champagne in the Red Nose Day raffle at work
 
i've had £2,400 for 5 balls in the national lottery
£1,000 on a scratchcard 4weeks later
A southend season ticket (about 5 years ago so nothing to bragg about)
Signed southend shirt by the league one winning squad

Yeah, you spawny git! I seem to recall that I texted you that you'd won since you weren't at the game when they read out your name - I practically fell out of my chair when it was announced!

:thump:

Erm, prizes I have won include:

* £10 on the lottery. Twice. Woo and indeed hoo.

* £40-odd on the SUSCT 100 club draw. Twice. Much better!

* Several pub quizzes. At my local, the prize was always a gallon of beer, which went down well when I was a student. The last pub quiz I won was rather posher, and I got a magnum of Veuve Cliquot, which is still waiting to be drunk! :)

* A "Jock the Croc" competition, aged 13. You had to write a poem about Jock the Croc, a large cuddly crocodile who used to sit behind Matthew Kelly on Childrens ITV. I was deemed runner up, so got my name read out and won a copy of Look-In Annual, 1986...!

* The best prize I've won by miles was when I entered the competition, held last year by the MCC and the Royal National Institute for the Blind, to find volunteer cricket commentators. You had to send in a tape of you commentating on a fictional over of cricket - so I did a tape, sent it in, and they picked me to be one of their commentators. The prize is to sit in the Media Centre at Lord's for days on end and burble away about cricket. Heaven.

:D
