Anyone ever won anything?

Won €2500 on Lotto Plus 2 some years back. Had five plus the bonus. It was on Christmas Eve too so would have been a lovely present to win the whole thing. Still paid off the credit card. Have won loads of smaller sums of money but never anything significant. I do know four people who have either won the lotto or top prize in the lotto plus games so reckon my chances of actually winnig are slim now. Still keep tryng though!!

As a gambler you have plenty of winning times (and losing too) but I have never known a time like it at the moment, can't pick a winner, had more seconds than Oliver and more thirds than a public toilet :P Not betting all that often but when I do I know the outcome before it happens!

I remember winning a free lunch in a restaurant in a radio competition once, me Ma shouted up a history question to me, I answered, she rang into the radio station and gave my name. 'I' won and she got the free lunch plus I got a days abuse in school cos it was announced on the radio and I was accused of being a 'Swot' :pac:

I've won a Guitar signed by lots of artists who played at Oxegen 09 that I got off Phantom.

I won a trip to Ibiza last summer from miller after downing 18 pints of the piss over the course of an evening. Can barely remember winning.

Those would be the major ones, other than that bits and bobs!

Won a new Xbox last month and a new Xperia S this month. Won 60 euro yesterday on a snooker bet and I won 40 on Lotto in January.

Smeggy · 23-04-2012 09:18PM

I used to do the Lotto online until I got 3 emails 3 weeks in a row telling me "my account had been updated".... Excited was not the word!! I practically had my notice typed up...

I won 2 fivers and 45 quid

DAT64 · 23-04-2012 09:18PM

I won a Den TV denim jacket & baseball cap when i was in school!!

Made my childhood!!!

rainbowdrop · 23-04-2012 09:49PM

Never really won any money, just €25 a few times on scratch cards.

Won a giant jar of pear drops in a 'guess the amount of sweets in the jar' competition when I was about 9 - have never touched a pear drop since, if I ever saw another one it'd be too soon:p.

Won a waterproof walkman in secondary school, think i was entered in a prize draw for joining the school bank or something like that. It was pretty cool; you could have it laid at the bottom of a bathtub full of water and it would work perfectly.

Have won tickets to the cinema on 4fm a few times.

Won a t-shirt at Drag Queen bingo at Electric Picnic (Don't ask!! lol)

Also, I won a weekend away in a B+B in Co Clare here on Boards last year. It included dinner in a restaurant and free passes to Bunratty Castle + folk park. I gave it to my parents as my Dad had recently had a kidney transplant and they deserved the break more than I did. It was the first weekend away they had had in more than 5years, and was definitely the favourite thing I'v won!!

Hopefully I'll win the lotto soon......:cool:

Every time I see this thread title I want to reply "no, nobody anywhere has ever won anything in the history of the universe"

On a personal note, no, I don't generally win things except a couple euro on a scratch card

What's the story with all the prizes in cork?? Like is Cork tourist board responsible for this??

(FYI, I hate Cork men. Totally justified too.)

Won 200 quid today in a soccer league at work! Go on the magpies!

The_Thing · 23-04-2012 10:34PM

I regularly (as in every few weeks) win €80 on the Lotto's 5-4-3-2-1 game betting €2.00 on 2 numbers from the 6 number game - just Lotto, no Plus 1 or Plus 2.

I used to do 3 numbers from the 7 number game which offered a higher payout, but never won anything because even though I'd get 2 numbers up, the 3rd would always fail to materialise for me.

Betting 2 numbers on the 7 number game gives a lower payout than betting 2 on the 6 number game.

Hope this is of benefit to some of ye.

Used to clean up in art comps as a kid- I won the Texico competition when I was 12

fasttalkerchat · 24-04-2012 12:45AM

Put a fiver on sky bet to get the tenner free. Played Blackjack sticking to a cheatsheet and lost the lot within an hour. The best I was on was £18 (up £3)

Won a Harry Potter pencil case from a competition that Coca-Cola were doing the same day Jason McAteer scored the winner against Holland in Lasdowne.

The stuff childhood dreams are made of:)

Anyone ever won anything?
