    Im generally very unlucky, although I did win a mobile once, and an art competition at school when I was 7; and I guess that time I was on the dole I was winning every week; have you won anything worthwhile?

    I had a Star Trek bath towel arrive in the post one day, I can only assume I won the thing but there was no accompanying information with it. That's about all I've ever won though to be fair I don't enter much.

    I thought I did once, my ticket number was 11 and low and behold it was called out but I discovered I was holding it upside down. :(

    I won a jacket in a raffle once, turned out to be identical to the jacket I wore to the event, which a nice lady was minding for me.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,960 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    yeah, i've won a load of stuff over the years, been very very lucky, but the big one (lotto) has always missed me (was gonna type in alluded, elluded, illuded but fcuked if i know how to spell it)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,568 ✭✭✭candy-gal1


    I had a winning streak when I was about 9 or 10 where I won almost every month in almost every competition I went for, in magazines I used to get! Biggest prize I got then was a swingball set, swimsuit and a letter "from Barbie" saying I had great potential in art etc :D

    In my teens I won quite a bit on the lotto, 20e/50e every once in a while, :)

    Now Ive won mainly the cool cuddly toys from the claw winning machines and sometimes double prizes :D, and cash on scratchcards!

    I won a Motorola Razr off of Pepsi a good few years back. It was one of those submit online/text in the code on the lid to enter. One winner every hour. I was working in a large multinational supermarket chain at the time, I guess there was some damaged stock out the back, or maybe I damaged it, anyway the important thing is I had a half dozen codes. Stayed up late one night and submitted them all at 0300 when nobody else would be awake to submit their codes. I won a phone out of it. :)

    An ipod from a clothes shop receipt raffle before, but I was a regular and always had a laugh with the girl working there so I think she fixed it :P

    My sister wins the whole time though, ipod nano and a GRAND off a scratchcard...!

    I won a free scratch card in the lotto Saturday and cashed it in today then won 2 euro on the free card, so cashed that in for another two, won 2 euro on one of those before the luck ran out. I also won stuff on boards last Christmas, that was cool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,406 ✭✭✭DyldeBrill

    Wow! I won €1000 on a €1 All Cash and I thought that was good.. Congratulations :)

    Haven't been that lucky I guess, few music tickets here and there. A high end Sony stereo when I was much younger. Got 4 numbers on the Euromillions last year but gave that away to someone close.
    I 'won' tickets to the Bavaria City racing last year on they're mobile app. When I say won what I mean is I edited the sqllite db on the phone before submitting my high score.

    Oh remembered another, 10 squid on Rory Mc last year @18/1 :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 983 ✭✭✭Dick Turnip


    Won a bike worth around €700 a few years ago on a facebook competition. Nothing much outside of that.
