Competitions - how lucky are you? Won anything good?
Discussion
I'll enter competitions for pretty much anything either through the local papers, local radio station or on various click sites, not won my fortune yet, but have won 6 tubs of chocolate ice cream, a motorbike DVD and tickets to Knockhill club race.
Has anyone had any decent luck of late? and where did you enter?

I won second prize in a Blue Peter competition once, which resulted in some merchandise, a blue/white badge and a signed letter from the presenters. This was the early 90's, when John Leslie and Anthea Turner were on the programme.
I've also won a Nintendo GameCube, but quickly sold it onto a friend in order to buy a decent mountain biking helmet. More recently, free tickets to AutoSport motor show with decent arena seats, courtesy of Lotus ...
Still waiting to win a car, holiday or a watch!

A North West radio station was giving tickets away daily to Southport Airshow about 3 years ago. I entered a couple of them but never won. Unbeknownst to me though, all entrants got entered into a draw for VIP Tickets with a night in a hotel including evening meal and breakfast. I was lucky enough to win it. The VIP bit included breakfast and picnic lunch, entrance to a marquee, meet the red arrows pilots/photos with them etc and seats on the pier (away from all the peasants) in proper deckchairs for the airshow. Sad thing was, having had photos and autographs with the Red Arrows pilots, 2 of them lost their lives not long after in that ejector seat issue and the crash down south :-(
I won a dictionary in a local radio station phone in. The poor DJ was flogging this competition for ages and it was clear that no-one was phoning in, so I called them up and as the only caller I won it.
They told me off air I had to go and collect it myself from a place 30 miles away, so I never bothered
