Just arrived at Gatwick north terminal and just had a look over the R8 and the Lamborghini on display.... £25 per ticket and app some one wins one every month!!!
Has anyone ever met anybody who has won one of these?????

Think I would have a go if they had a V12V or a DBS on offer!!!!

Not a fan of R8's nor lambo's for that matter......

True story....

There was a tungsten silver V8S in Gatwick a couple of years back when I was off to the Maldives. I was having a look and the sales guy comes over and says "Can I interest you in a ticket?". I politely declined but he kept on going. After several polite refusals I got a wee bit stroppy and said "I don't want a ticket as I already have the same car but in a different colour" and walked away with my other half. As we are on the escalator he shouts - LOUDLY - "Well, would you want to ticket to get your beautiful wife a matching car?"

I could not fault the guy for effort - the Black Knight school of sales!

Yes I actually know Erik who won a Gallardo.
In the event, being Swedish, 30, with no no claims, no car, no garage and living in a ratty part of London he took the cash instead. Broke his heart every time he saw a lambo after.
He's the first chap in the 2006 mugs gallery.

Honestly he's the nicest guy. I was chuffed to bits for him.

I've probably done about £200 in tickets since but never won anything.
I don't suppose having zero interest in football has any impact?

These things have been in the airport for a good while now (5 years +?) and my Dad quite frequently has a go although clearly the odds aren't exactly high!

rofl brilliant!

I entered this when I was desperate to own an Estoril Blue E46 - I was one pixel away from the winning guess frown (It was a spot the ball type thing) I don't know anyone who's won one.

Trust me, someone wins every month, it's a very legit company.

I do their daily blog and website graphics for them, and picked up their 991 Carrera S from the dealership on Saturday that is now in Gatwick... biggrin

That's who I (and probably Bogie) was thinking of too.

I've played a few times but never come very close to guessing where the ball is.

Back at around the turn of the century I won a flight for 2 on Concorde playing a spot the ball competition which a supplier of mine at the time organised. smile

Living in Newcastle at the time, we had a coach to Leeds/Bradford Airport; champagne reception and a flight (Mach 2) up over the N Sea,Arctic Circle back down over Scotland; meal on board with the obligatory fine wines and more 'poo; then a coach back to Newcastle.

Never played spot the ball since nor have won anything (apart from the odd £25 Premium Bond win here and there) hehe
