What's the biggest prize you ever won?

Could lotto, raffle, anything realy.

I won an iPod on a Today FM competition where you had to phone in to guess the voice which I did. They said it was an iPod, it was actually some cheap Chinese version

Ah well, it worked fine for years and years.

I also won a hamper at a work Christmas party. Present to the parents sorted

That's it realy, never got anything much off the lotto, our lotto syndicate has gone through 6 years of failure.

Are you lucky and win lots and lots of prizes?

Seriously? thats poor form!!!

I won a day trip to Mosney once. 1988 i think.
Also got into a draw to win a car. It was down to 10 people and everyone has a key to try in the door. I was 6th person to try their key so at that stage i suppose I has a 1 in 5 chance. Didnt work

Some people win lots of things, I don't win anything. Must be some sort of a lucky gene. Or maybe they do competitions and I don't. (I did win a couple of 75s on Prize bonds, but you tend to win within the first year of investing a reasonable amount anyway)

£1000 punts back when i was about 12, 3 weeks before xmas. Bought myself my first and only pair of air max

deadybai · 20-11-2014 01:11PM

won 49 euro on a slot machine when I was about 13. Put 15 cent into a machine that my friend who had been on it all day, gave up on. BEST DAY EVER!

Won an Xbox 360 when they were new out.

Gave it to my bro for his 21st

Run family newsagents. Play minimum in most lotto draws.

Have gotten 5 numbers in the main draw twice and lotto plus 1 draw. 1300 punts, €1000 & €300 respectively. The older punts win was from my own ticket that I bought purposely. The 2 euro denominated wins were mistake tickets. Ie. they weren't what the customer asked for, the customer didn't opt to take them anyway, I put them to the side to sell on to someone else, forgot, had to buy them myself at the end of the night.

Ie I'm more lucky with mistake tickets then my own tickets.

Nowadays, when I make a mistake, I tell them my story and 9 times out of 10 they buy the mistake ticket as well as what they asked for.

Result!!

Grayson · 20-11-2014 01:39PM

I'm surprised some soppy sod hasn't said "My Missus"

osarusan · 20-11-2014 01:42PM

My missus, on yahoo auctions.

messrs · 20-11-2014 01:43PM

Return flight tickets to Belfast (never used them) tickets to the premier (well the irish version) of a movie, won tickets to a private screening with the script (about 100 ppl & media so not so private) & won €500 in a draw in the MetroHerald, that's about it over the last 35 years!!

This Fat Girl Runs · 20-11-2014 01:50PM

I once won €80 at work doing a derby draw. My horse won even though he wasn't tipped to win. That was a nice surprise!

Other than that, I might win a free scratch card now and then doing the All Cash.

chakotha · 20-11-2014 02:05PM

€300 from the Christmas card raffle in my local.

MRnotlob606 · 20-11-2014 02:07PM

Matta Harri · 20-11-2014 02:17PM

A bale of briquettes in a Christmas draw in the local pub.

Also €100 worth of AI straws in a GAA club draw. Very useful!

I usually win nothing.

sbsquarepants · 20-11-2014 02:21PM

A mazda 323 - didn't drive at the time and couldn't afford the nearly £4,000 to insure the bastard, so I sold it and got a Nissan sunny plus insurance. Happy days:D

Candy_Girl · 20-11-2014 02:23PM

I've won lots of small prizes like weekend breaks, runners, beauty products ect but nothing worth getting too excited about.

cletus van damme · 20-11-2014 02:24PM

hard to choose between

12e on euromillion or 3 CDs on the metal show on 2fm when i was 14.

KeithM89 · 20-11-2014 02:27PM

Toyota Auris in the credit union car draw a few years back then traded it in the next day against an audi a4.

Straylight · 20-11-2014 02:28PM

A DVD player at the staff Christmas party when they were only just out, which was pretty cool. And a weekend away in a very nice hotel. Admittedly my wife entered and put my name on the entry, but seeing as I win bugger all I'm claiming it.

Highflyer13 · 20-11-2014 02:31PM

$21000 from a initial $3 investment in a online poker tournament. I was 19 at the time so young and not too wise had a great time with it and blew every cent of it in 3 months. Could do with it nowadays:pac:

CarrickMcJoe · 20-11-2014 02:37PM
