    Some fecker just won €554,000 on Winning Streak. He won 54k then got to spin the wheel and won a further €500k.


    I'm jealous as fook but delighted for him.

    Anyone here get on the show before? Im gona start buying tickets.

    The question is...what the most money you have ever won and how?

    Me: €34 about 4 years ago on the Lotto :(

    Won €2k a few months back thanks to boards :)

    €554k though, that would be a perfect amount. I said I'd never go on winning streak but that's a f*ckin stupid thing to say when you think about it. I want loadsa money

    Won 500 big ones today, most I've ever won.

    Willem II Tilburg against Heerenveen, they were 100 to 1 on to win the game at half time being 0-2 down. I stick on 5 quid purely for the odds and they end up winning 4-3, happy days! :pac:

    I got 5 numbers in Lotto Plus 2 once and won €200 which i was delighted with until someone pointed out that if I'd had the 6th, I'd have won €200k.

    Won something like €200 in a talent show years ago for playing guitar. Although one of the judges didnt know I was using a backing track, so eh..might be a bit of a biased win come to think of it. I still don't understand this, there were drums like.

    Anyway, while that's not too impressive, a mate of mine, all in the same day;

    Won an in-college sweepstake for €800
    Received his college grant which he was told he would not be getting - around €3000 give or take
    Won a work raffle for €1600
    and...found a fiver while walking home.

    Lucky cnut.

    I just got an email from the Nigerian National Lottery, apparently I have won it! :) Didn't even know I was entered, I am picking up my cheque for $126,352,315.14 next week! :) I'll give 20 million to charity though, I'm not greedy. :)

    I won 60 quid in the lotto the first ever time I did it. I thought I was onto a winner, that I was guaranteed to win something every week. Foolish me.

    I also won best a$$ in school three consecutive years, in a survey conducted by our male counterparts. That title alone is enough of a prize. I miss those days ...........................

    Won E16000 playing online poker couple of years ago and being young and foolish spent it over the course about 6 months partying hard. I didn't care at the time because it only cost me about E10 investment to win. Fcuk i could really do with some of it now though!!!!:(
