For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Yes, I used to enter competitions and was quite successful (don't ask why I stopped, it's a long story, though I do intend to start again).
In my first month I won a motorbike and a dishwasher (which served us for almost ten years before packing in). I also won a pocket TV, a Hi-Fi system, a ghetto-blaster, a victorian dolls house and a holiday not to mention numerous smaller prizes.
Oh, and �42 on the lottery!!!
�47, �52, �57 and quite a few tenners on the lottery, a holiday to the Costa Del Sol (including a visit to the set of Eldorado), a holiday to Lanzarote, two mountain bikes, a hi-fi system, a GameBoy Colour with games, toys, videos, cleaning equipment, make-up, toiletries, stationery, exhibition tickets, cookware, and a radio. I'm now entering every 'Win a Dishwasher/Carpets' competition I come across! Also, (this wasn't a prize, as such, but I bought an egg and cress sandwich last week, which contained a lovely bit of egg shell and received �50 in compensation!!)
A couple of tenners on the Lottery, �50 on a scratch card and, when I was small, I entered a competition to design a house, and won a tin of poster paints. Also, I collected enough winning Cadbury wrappers and won a Coronation Street Rovers Return pint beer mug and a Coronation Street T-shirt! At secondary school, our Art Class had to paint/draw scenes from the song 'The House That Jack Built', which were sent into the BBC, and appeared on Noel Edmond's Swap Shop!
Last year I won a quiz show on TV- �1500, I've won CD's books, Beer, clothes, 50% off a fitted kitchen, a year's supply of bread, �25 worth of beef, cinema tickets etc etc. Once I won �5 on one scratchcard and on the next one attached �10! I got four numbers in the lottery but only got a measly �33. As you may have guessed I enter a lot of comps etc!
