What's the best thing you've won? - Page 5 - SV650.org

I have wona few things over the years with entering competitions but still waiting for the "big win".

On a ferry from dover filled in a free competition to win a mountain bike. A few weeks later i receive a letter asking me to call a number and tell the person what colour and size of bike i wanted.

Won a X box 360 with Kinect thing at the work xmas raffle this year. (sold on very quickly as the not interested in it)

I enter lots of free competitions and sometimes put my wife down as the entrant. A couple od years ago i received a call from a company to arrange delivery of some organic compost that i had won in her name. They asked about access to the house for the delivery "truck" and whether i had stones on the drive or concrete!!! When i asked why he said that it would be unloaded with a pellet truck! Told the wife to make sure her car was off the drive on the day of the delivery. Received a call from the wife to say that the delivery had been made and she couldn't get her car on the drive as there was a pallet of "posh sh*t" there. got home to find a cubic meter (1 tonne) of organic compost. Magnaged to give most of it away in the end.

I won £1250 at the bingo, not bad considering I didn't want to go but my girlfriend said she would drive and I could have a few beers.

I once won second prize in a beauty contest, and collected £10.

Won a laptop by shopping around for insurance quotes.

Package turned up at home one day, wondered what it was, opened it and it was a new laptop and a letter saying congrats

Won £10 on a scratchcard, few more bits and bobs.
