    I win a good lot of CDs, DVDs and that sort of stuff.

    Nothing worth a sh*tload of cash though.

    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.
    I think that's probably me done for life now.

    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 :D

    I don't really win much, though I suppose I don't enter many comps either.

    I've always had a fairly lucky streak with scratch cards.

    Best thing I ever won was an Xbox 360 at a raffle at work. I didn't even know it existed and I was automatically entered into it. Was fiddling away fixing a shìtty computer when one of the girls came in and left it in front of me :D

    Now it just sits rotting away by the TV cuz I never play it.
