Have you ever

[NoMercy]

Won a prize in a competition, such as a crossword? Or won some money on a scratchcard? I won �250 in M&S Vouchers in That's Life magazine going back a few years ago. A couple of weeks ago, I bought two scratchcards in Tescos and won �12 on each of them. Better than a kick in the teeth !! :-)

I won a colouring competition with The Tufty Club when I was 5, I won a hankerchief (!).

sadly, nowt since :-(

^ B1tch... I came second in that competition... had my eyes on that handkerchief too...

[NoMercy]

I bet you were thrilled at the time though, BOO ! lol

I won a barbie in a village fete when I was about 7.

After losing my wages in a casino in the early 70's, I vowed never to return. Went back a fortnight later, put �2-00 on a number & won �70-00. This time I stuck to my promise...I've never been in a casino since.

[NoMercy]

Glad to hear that you quit while you were ahead, Carrust. There's no such thing as a poor casino owner !! x

Never but my mate is always winning, she won a laptop, tickets to theatre and a car boot storage thingy in 3 days!!

[B00]

Do you mean you won a Barbie doll NoMercy? Or a BBQ? If it was the latter I just bet you were as thrilled about that as I was about mine!

snags- Tony Givvens? Is that you?? I knew it was you who nicked me hanky!

[NoMercy]

4get - wouldn't mind some of her luck !! My friend won a car a few years back.

[carrust]

I'm glad I got rid of the gambling bug whilst I was young, no mercy. I still wont go in a casino though.

[ummmmmdedum]

My friend won a car on 'the price is right'

[NoMercy]

Lucky timing Dennis !!

BOO - as soon as I posted that, I knew somebody would ask the question !! Twas a barbie doll. I had to guess the age, and I was closest !

[4getmenot]

Believe me she lucky in comps but you wouldn�t want her life

[NoMercy]

Ummmm - I've always fancied going on a game show. I tried to get on Millionaire, and they rang me back to ask me an estimate question. Apparently, the 10 people out of the 100 they contacted, who guessed nearest the correct answer, were invited on the show. Obviously I was nowhere near the correct answer, cos I never heard back from them after that. x

I won 2 portable tv's about 10 years ago, one in Nov and the other in Dec. Last year I won 6 bottles of a rum based cocktail on the BBC Good Food website.

A person can never have too many portable t.v.s, Jan! Or is that shoes??? ;-)
