We had just managed by hook and by crook to get out daughter transferred to a fantastic primary (see thread on pushy parents). In our first visit to a school event - we won the bloomin' Christmas Fair raffle ........ £250.00 .........................
We donated it back to the school. I think it was the right thing to do - although I look back now .....................

£1000 cash prize at The Goldstone in the old Lifeline draw. It was drawn at half time at the ground.
1 problem I was told 3 weeks before hand that I would win it. I was at the time, unlike me, causing a stir about the shareholders of BHA and the fact that an old lady in Sompting held some shares , that she wouldnt sell, despite the pressure exerted by the board of BHA.
I cashed the cheque and sent the money to Brighton Childrens Hospital rather than not cash it and some person at BHA benefit.

I was about 12 or 13 and used to listen to Radio Brighton on a Sunday morning. They used to have a comp whereby you had to identify a 'popular' song by it's intro and win a prize. I rang in to take part and was told I was the second song on, which was lucky because the first one was Lily The Pink by The Scaffold (which I wouldn't have known at that tender age).
I was cued in and, within a nano-second, identified the opening bars of My Life by Billy Joel. The presenter congratulated me and invited me to visit the station the following day to choose my prize.
The next day was spent boring the arse of everyone at school about what I'd done and what I was going to get ('bound to be The Clash, X-Ray Spex, Siouxsie, The Damned, etc') and street cred was at an all time high.
I duly attended Radio Brighton's office after school and was a bit miffed at the lack of red carpet, champagne reception, Argus birds,etc. I was shown to reception where I was informed that my efforts of the previous day had resulted in a choice of LP's between James Last, James Galway and Brian and Michael!
Brian & f***ing Michael, I ask you! The LP seemed to consist of one very long version of Matchstalk Men & Matchstalk Cats & Dogs.
Recognising that damage limitation to my street cred was of utmost importance, I selected B&FM but insisted that the receptionist bird put it in a Spar carrier bag to save my blushes on the bus home.
The early part of the next day was spent desperately trying to convince my peers that I was into Lowry in a big way until a boy called Steve took pity on me and bought it off me for £3.
Needless to say, I've never entered a competition since.

Back in the days when I was young and animal rights hadn't been invented, I have a feeling I or my brother won a goldfish at a funfair, probably with Dad's help. It must have been in Seaford as that's where we lived at the time. I remember walking home with the fish in a clear plastic bag filled with water.
I never did find out what happened to the goldfish when we got home, but put it this way, I don't ever remember us having a fishtank in our house
*flushhhhh*
Parents can be so cruel

I won a Technohead double-album in 1991, on Colin Dale's Abstract Dance radio show (Kiss FM)! Was chuffed to be actually on the radio 
And I was 'picked' one week in the Evening Standard's Metro magazine's dating page (if that counts as winning a competition)
Erm, and that's about it, I think.
