What's the best thing you've won?
 
I consider myself very lucky in life, but not so in competitions.

Raffles, Euro Lottery, Lottery, Lottery instants, online comp's, newspaper comp's I do loads.

Most I've ever won is a tenner on a lottery instant and bottle of wine at the local fete. Even when I won the wine my neighbour up the road won a wheelbarrow full of booze.

Who's been luckier than me then?

I won a pancake race in 1970

Same as you, mate. Never win a thing. My very best luck was when I was a student, I bought a scratch card at the supermarket which won me £7. I then bought another one which won me £30, and £37 was pretty much what I'd spent on my shop! Apart from that, nothing. I even have a direct debit setup to play the lottery. 1 play on sat and wed draws, and in about 9 months of doing that, I've won a tenner twice. I don't want to do the maths.

Maybe it's cos we're so good, we make our own lucky, and lady luck doesn't feel the need to bless us with her fake kind. :D

£87 on the pools back in 1982. It bought a Ferguson top loading VCR.

£50 on a scratchcard when they first came out.

Won numerous golf comps - more than covered my costs every year.

I won a B3ta Comp a couple of years ago, the prize was... err... Interesting.

However, I am not the luckiest person. ;-)

I won a "meat raffle" in a pub once.

A Smurfs album from Look-In magazine.

And a gents racing bike in a raffle. It was too big for me so everytime I stopped I nearly fell off as my feet didn't touch the ground.

My friends won a million on a scatchcard and they've blown the lot and are now back working for minimum wage behind the bar in our local - silly people.

I won £7,500 on the lottery. Unfortunately, it was before I got divorced, so the ex had it.
