Anyone ever win anything decent in a competition?

GSpoon

I have been entering competitions for years and have never won anything... Just wondering if anyone has ever won anything impressive?

Was just talking about this earlier with some friends in work and some have won cars, trips to Beijing Olympics etc!!!

I won millions online and after apying for some moneys to be transfered around Im still waiting for my millions, the nice prince has told me its onthe way.........fingers crossed

Danbo!

I won a pair of sketchup*-branded socks in a design competition on a forum before. Two days later, they posted up that they were changing the rules and the prizes were going to be a lot better than socks, and those who had won any in the last 2 months would get socks and the newer, bigger, better prize. Then the forum died and I never received a thing. Bastards.

Nothing memorable.

You really have to play the odds though. I know a lad who's dad sets aside time each day/week whatever and goes through a load of magazines, newspapers, flyers etc & whatever else has competitions. He enters everything.

AFAIK in the past they've won holidays, electrical stuff (cameras/dvd players etc), a snooker cue......

I can't remember the rest to be honest but I do know that they win bits & pieces all the time.

My name is URL

I won a Sega Master System at a christmas bizarre one time

Mars Bar

I won a tv in a pub raffle when I was about 12...still have it too!

Oh I forgot I won tickets to the meteor awards in 2008 on Bebo, you had to say in a comment why you think you deserved the tickets.

Sleipnir

I've won the hearts and souls of millions.
Also a weekend in Paris.

I could have won a chocolate bar in a Pokémon table quiz once but they put me with a table of morons who knew nothing. I knew all the answers but they got barely got any right and refused to believe I knew what I was talking about.

This is why I refuse to work with teams to this day.

I was the winner for a 1972 sperm race, first to reach the egg out of 3 million entrants.

CrazyRabbit

I competed against millions of others and came out the winner.

It was an endurance competition that was extremely perilous. All the contestants were under constant attack by various chemicals, and there was no guarantee that there would even be a winner.

Well, that's the story of my conception and how I won the greatest prize of all...life.

Long time ago I won a Jeep, courtesy of "probably the best" lager. 2 years ago won a Grand in travel vouchers through a work competition.

Crap prizes if you already have both of these.

Hells Belle

I won a trip to Ethiopia (WTF!) 2 years ago and couldn't go because I was preggers - bf went with his friend instead, the 2 of them got escorted about by a man with flip flops, a purple teacosy hat and a big fcukin gun! The poor kiddies had no shoes on and kept asking them for money, that would break my heart tbh.

When they got back home they were covered in sores after bites from bed bugs in a mountain shack they had to sleep in, after trekking some 5 hrs to - and then they had goat slaughtered in front of them for dinner - thats not a holiday to me its bloody "I'm a Celebrity"

I would like to thank TodayFM however, I had 2 weeks of comfortable man free peace
