Best/worse thing you have won?

[SouthEastern-465]

I was just wondering what is the best and worst things people have won like off of lottery tickets,raffles,anything really.

The Best thing I won was on the lottery (family member got me ticket) and I won £100 which aint bad considering I only paid £1.00 but that was just luck!

Worse ever thing I won was in a primary school raffle,I paid a pound for 3 raffle tickets and won first prize in front of a crowd of kids they looked a bit cheesed off I had won,
When I picked up my prize in front of the crowd of kids I thought I had one somthing decent and than the head-teacher handed me a pack of 4-pairs of socks,imagine my disapointment and embarrasment.

Technically, that's illegal as lottery tickets are non-tranferable afaik

Picked up £428 in a major angling competition 3 weeks ago, coming 3rd overall

As far as gambling goes (not that Ive ever been that into it) Ive had two strokes of luck. First one was when I was 16 and living in Nottingham. I was spending the summer working for my uncle on the sites for which he paid me chicken feed. Anyway one boring weekend I had some loose change in my pocket so I walked six miles into town and had a wander round. After buying my dinner I had only my bus fare home. I ignored the blisters on my feet and took a risk, spending £1 of my fare on a scratchcard. I won another quid! So I wandered into another shop and bought another naturally. Won £25
Bought a ghetto blaster and some rave tracks and that was it...buzzin man!

Second one was when I was back home walking through my home village with my head down and saw a winning scratchcard on the floor, I just noticed the partially scratched off£1 win, so I picked it up. Imagine my surprise when I scratched off vthe rest to find out it was actually £15!

A few years ago I went on Tram party tour which was done by a Rover Crew that I know as a fundraiser and they had a raffle and I won a computer mouse lol. As I try to think back to what else I have won, that's the only thing that really comes to mind lol.

I dont have many wins so my best prize I ever had was a Terrys Chocolate orange for winning a school questionare. Which wasnt a bad prize.

I have done quite well in the past in on-train raffles, including winning free tour places / money off a tour more than once

Best one however was in Switzerland last year, when I won a free place on one of this year's tours. After the stewards came round handing the prizes out, there was an announcement that the 2nd prize of 50% off a tour was unclaimed; I idly looked through my tickets and discovered that I had won that as well - didn't think of checking after already winning a prize

Not wishing to be too greedy, I gave the 2nd prize back to be re-drawn and next out of the hat came the one of the tour organiser's tickets! It really was third time lucky for somebody else

At work we had a raffle for the local charity. Somehow there was only 4 tickets left for 4 prizes and no one else had clocked that it might be a good investment at 50p a pop for prizes including a £20 electric toothbrush and a huge bottle of wine.

Duly bought them all.

Only to find that none of the numbers matched. The organiser gave me the prizes anyway and asked me to keep quiet

Also won a large bottle of Harvey's Bristol Cream on a raffle done by that group who are building a standard 3 at the SVR.

58million on the Euromillions

My heart quickened and panic set in

He then handed me 58 quid. thanks to the noisy lottery machine all I heard was 58 million. Not what he actually said which was 58 ont Euromillions.

Worst Prize Romantic Dinner for two at a top resturant when I was getting a divorce.

Worst? As a young kid I submitted a drawing to a Beatrix Potter themed competition, and won a cake decorated with Potter characters.

1) I don't like cake
2) It was an old cake, and had gone mouldy by the time I got it...

Haha I bet you got your hopes up and was listing the things you were going to buy out the 58 million and then I bet you were very very disapointed when you were handed £58.00,anyway still a good prize and better than a kick in the nuts!
