Have you won any competitions lately?

[Buzzer]

Do you ever win any competitions?I've just won 2 tickets to see Lucy Kaplansky tonight at the Komedia. Get in there! She's brillo. A bit Suzanne Vega-ish and very cool.http://www.lucykaplansky.com - very recommendedI've got a mate whose wife enters hundreds of competitions a month. They've won a car, holidays, all sorts of goodies. So what have you won?

I had a week last month where I won the lottery (£10), the premium bonds twice ( 2 x £50 ) and the pools (£111.00). Not bad for 5 days.

I haven't won anything, but I do tend to enter competitions if I think that the response rate will be low (and the entry is free).

 

[Zesh Rehman]

I won a competition for 2 for a 3 day trip to Switzerland to see Portugal v Germany in Euro 2008

 

[mr sheen]

I won a couple of competitions on Radio 5 in it'd early days, when Mark Radcliffe used to do an evening show from Manchester. I suspect I was the only entrant

 

[Jam The Man]

I've won the best part of £1100 on radio shows, a Dukes of Hazzard DVD box set, £500 worth of luggage, a 1992 autographed England football... and theoretically the best part of half a million quid for the Albion.

 

[Trufflehound]

In about 1972 I was one of 10 winners of a competition among Sussex primary school kids to design burglar alarms and other crime prevention gadgets. It was co-sponsored by Sussex County Constabulary and the Brighton and Hove Gazette (deceased).

Our prize for our efforts: our picture in the paper, and a 50p book token each (note for youngsters: that was f*** all back then as well).

Between them Brighton's finest journalists and the boys in blue were able to stump a grand total of £5 in prize money.

Sodding cheapskates.

 

[algie]

Never won a sodding thing.The day we played Leeds i found £40 on the floor and the good man Buzzer who i have never met untill the Leeds game gave me £20.thats £60 in one day.
I knew someone who won a car in one of those womens mags.

 

[Uter]

I won £1000 on the Seagulls "Lifeline" lottery thing they had about 12 or 13 years ago. I got a phone call telling me I'd won about three months earlier, but due to a "clerical error" they had forgotten to tell me. Obviously this had absolutely nothing to do with poor cash flow during the close season.
