I won a bottle of Bucks Fizz Christmas just gone. I think that's it. And it's still in the fridge...

Re: What's the best thing you've won?
 

£200 on a bandit in a snooker hall, won from the spare £1 we still had on the table when leaving.
Few small raffle prizes
Couple of small prize wins on the lotto/euros

I think everyone has a "lucky friend" though, mines a lad Called Rich (oddly enough). He is definetly worth shadow betting with, he'll play tickets all night when we're at the dogs and with out fail comes away a couple of hundred up. At first it was funny but it passed through annoying and now its damn enfuriating.

My dad does the Irish lottery. For a laugh last year I told him to take 2 quid and I chose some numbers for him to do.

Hes as blind as a bat and a bit daft, and accidentally did the same numbers twice...someting to do with doing four lines and 50p each...no idea really.

Anyway.....I'm glad he did it wrong, coz he won me 300 quid :D

Beginners luck. I've not done the lottery since!

Re: What's the best thing you've won?
 

In terms of gambling, £1,570 on my third (and last) bet on football. (£45 bet)

Other than that? I've never really won any competitions or anything else, the odd few quid on the lottery (£66ish being the most).

I used to run a syndicate when I worked at Vauxhalls in Ellesmere port, we did the irish and the british lottery each saturday, first saturday we won £565 on the irish and the £10 on the british, both for 3 numbers on each card :-D

I had my name called out of a tombola at a 5,000 strong sales seminar to get up on stage and dance around like a prat.. My prize was a complete 'Self Improvement' box set by the event organizers that netted £350 off ebay at the first opportinuty. Oh, I also won a World Championship Thai Boxing Video when I won a local inter-club match when I was about 12... which my dad used to record the Golden Child over, i actually still have the video!

Back in the 70s I went about £4,000 worth up at the casino in Monaco. That was a small fortune. We only went in with 1000 franc each as experience money. By the time I was dragged out I had lost half my winnings. But still to come back from 3 weeks of holiday with more money than you set off with was a experience.

About the 2nd or 3rd week of the lottery, my brothers father in law "Black Jack" got 5 and a bonus. Off he trots with the cheque for about £105,800 to his local barclays.
As he deposits it he asks if he can take the odd 800 as the wife would like to do a bit of shopping. The poor girl says sorry sir, you need to wait for the cheque to clear.

His response :- "GET ME THE F***ING MANAGER". Now a big black guy shouting gets a quick response the manager duly appears to see what the commotion is and why has that black man not got a gun as they all have. He takes one look at the cheque and the camalot banner on it and says. We can do better than that sir, why don't you take the £5,800 and have a little holiday whilst you wait for it to clear.

Well he bought off his council house that was geared up for his spina bifida son, fired off his wife, bought a bit of naughty fun and became a regular client of a local turf accountant. 2 years later he had gone back home to St Vincent to build a house with what was left. Sold the ex council house to fund his life in the Caribbean and is now apparently very happy with a new girlfriend younger than his grand kids.

Money can make you happy
