Whats the best thing you've ever won?

PARARORY

Anyone here won anything worth mentioning? I've won loads of tickets to gigs and meet and greets , but the best thing was porbably an Ipod! ( I know , not that exciting but somebody must have something interesting )

minidazzler

A fight to the death.

I win a lot of stuff, my mates are always slagging me about it.

best one I've won was a €5k snowboarding holiday. Flew us out to london, put us up in hilton overnight, then on to Morzine the next day. 10 prizewinners, staying in a private chalet, with a chef on site to provide all our meals. hot tub steam room sauna, the place was amazing!

Best bit though was the prize included lessons from Lesley McKenna, the number 3 in the world female snowboarder. As everyone else was a beginner and I was a bit experienced, she'd do a beginner lesson with all of them, then take me off snowboarding for the day, so I got 3 days of private coaching from an olympic snowboarder! Highlight was when she brought me to a different mountain to introduce me to the British Junior snowboarding team, and i went for a few runs with all the best young boarders from the UK. Ridiculously hard to keep up with them, but such an experience.


Other stuff I've won, a sailing holiday, lots of concert tickets, match tickets, mobile phones, ipods, watch, i've lost track really. Kept track last year and won somewhere in the region of 6k worth of goods. Trick is to look for those competitions that are slightly awkward to enter, and not well promoted. If any competition has "get the answer from here, then go to this site and do this, then email the answer and the code to this thing" sort of spiel, its worth entering cos it puts 99% of people off bothering.

oh, and I'm currently struggling to work my way through €500 of HB icecream. have a freexer full of twisters at the moment.

artanevilla

Couple of small prizebond wins.

Wetai

A phone from an Ice Cream stick text-in code years ago.

Wasn't the best, but it did the job at the time.

Cheap Thrills!

1000 euros off a radio station

St._Andalou

I won an iPod from the Guardian. I think that's about it.

I used to win loads of tickets to gigs from entertainment.ie, but they were normally for bands I wasn't really into (or some that I hadn't even heard of). I still went along, though, and mostly had some good nights with friends.

I used to be so lucky when I was younger. If there was ever a raffle or something in school, I always seemed to win. I think I used up all my luck a little too young, though! It's kind of dried up in recent years.

In playschool I won a medal for blatantly cheating. We were having a race down the hill and I just took off before everyone else, not stopping until I was at the end of the field. :pac:

When I was at work one of the women brought a packaged Xbox 360 into me, I said to her "Am I supposed to fix this for someone?" to which she replies that I won it in the company Xmas raffle................which I didn't even know existed

Won 2 tickets to Oxegen this year on this site :pac:

Won tickets to the Cats Laugh festival in Kilkenny a few years back, was excited about winning them until I realised that I'd have to pay to see any of the acts................sorta defeated the purpose of winning any sort of a ticket

Chuchoter

I won a throphy on the awards night we had for weekly astroturf games with mates it was the "****test player of the year" (yes even the throphy was had a typo on it).

Lyra Fangs

won a scholarship lol

Kasabian

Also my first county championship medal .

I felt so proud that day as we were losing at halftime by 3 points and I was extremely pissed off that some of my team mates were not putting in the effort.

I asked the manager if could say a few words , which was something I would never have dreamt of doing as I am usually very quiet. Well I tore into them and told a few home truths and reminded them that I had put alot of effort into this day and I wasn't going home with out a winners medal. There was tears in my eyes as I spoke and my voice was shaking but it seemed to have worked.

We went out in the second half and with in a few minutes we were tied after I scored a goal.

We played like our lives depended on it and went on to win that day.

I cried tears of joy and will always remember that day till I die.

The county championship medal I have will always take pride of place in my Mum's dresser.

We won 1- 2 to 0-3.

Under 12 county champion has a ring to it.

Happy happy day.

My dad won 8,000 in the lottery last year. He was in work and heard the numbers called out on the radio. He heard the first 2 numbers and knew they were his but wasn't paying attention. Then the third number.... fourth... fifth... (at this stage he was getting ready to go ape) and then he realised he didn't have the sixth. Sickener or what.

Saganist

Won 2 1/2 grand on a golf tip on Newstalk last year.

I won some stereo equipment from a radio competition a couple of years ago, allegedly worth 1500 euro. The amp and speakers are nice, but I've never used the vinyl turntable.

Also won a few CDs off the radio.

IvySlayer

Errr..maybe a few CDs on the radio. Not much. A chocolate fruit and nut bar in Spain in musical statues Oh and Pokémon cards in primary school!

My friend is always winning stuff though :mad: Winning fifa balls from CocaCola! And a few years ago, Coke were doing this thing, where you could win a free bottle of Coke if you had it written on the back of a label. He went in, bought a bottle, came out and won a free Coke!

Then, he looked at his new wrapper, and won another one :mad:

Mini coca cola fridge, it's the business. When you want to have a few beers in the evening, just take them out of the main fridge and put them in the mini fridge. Will keep them sufficiently cool for the remainder of the evening and you don't have to get off the couch unless you break the seal.
