What prizes have you won in the past in competitions you have entered?

From memory, I have won the following:

- £50 on Premium Bonds when I was about 5.
- A PlayStation when I was 12, in a competition in the Daily Telegraph "Young Telegraph" section
- £1,000 on Premium Bonds just before I started Uni, great, bought a laptop and all sorts!
- T-shirts from a Facebook competition
- Chilli plants from a local garden centre on Facebook
- Meal for two at local restaurant

Plus, as well, the local pub quiz about once in every 3 times I enter.

A full day (9am-5pm) with the new MX5 last september - full tank of petrol, a substantial picnic in the boot, and pre-programmed suggested routes in the sat-nav, and a cheery "have fun!" when we were given the keys.
Might not be the latest Lambo, but we had a lovely day bombing around the Chilterns/Oxfordshire.

Won 3-numbers on the lotto many times, but never anything more.

Nothing. I'm just unlucky. If I fell into a barrel of tits I'd come out sucking my thumb.

I'm the only bloke I know who's had a letter from Readers' Digest telling me that I hadn't been selected for their prize draw!

I once dreamed of winning a Lotus Elise, but I don't like to talk about it.

Won a competition to play football with Bobby charlton when I was in primary school. I do remember he was a real nice bloke. I was on tv for that as well!

Won a competition with tango too. The only thing I remember about that was an orange extension lead.

Aside from premium bonds, the most memorable was from a contest in a local nightclub years ago where they had a big bottle filled with coins, and the closest guess to the total amount won the bottle. You got one guess with a particular drink, which me and a mate quite liked so we did loads of guesses. Just over £300 I think, wouldn't turn my nose up at it now but it was a lot more then.

I've not won a lot either. The only thing I can remember was a jar of sweets from school, certainly nothing more memorable.

I'd like a nice win.

4 days in Marrakesh with a major IT supplier. Hot air balloon over the plains, Spy academy in the atlas mountains, dinner in the old city walls. That was immense
4 tickets to Alton towers and £100 spend
Ticket to the British GP all expenses paid - I was blocked from going by the sales director and one of the other directors went. I quit about 2 weeks later!
