What else have you won in your lifetime?Huh?

Me I won a toaster in the Christmas Draw at the local British legion in 1993, I was well pleased as you can imagine. And well…..that’s about it, have we got any lucky buggers here?

I won from a radio station in Australia tickets to a Billy Ray Cyrus concert (Don't tell my heart...my achy breaky heart....), a bottle of tequila and Mick Jagger CD's.

From XFM radio station in London I won tickets to two concerts, Muse and The Divine Comedy, and a CD player.

I won an easter hamper when I left the army, one of the boxes of chocolate almonds had weavels in the nuts, and I didn't realise until I nearly finished the box...makes me sick just thinking of it still...

I once turned up at my local radio station and told them that I had won a competition on there a few weeks ago, which I hadn't, and I still hadn't received the prize. They took down my details and posted an album to me a few days later. Does that count?

Apart from TV show winnings, I am actually very jammy and have won a corporate football box, trip to New York, Ascot Ladies day tickets, film premier, hotel stay and betting money, a years supply of creme eggs (made the wife happy), a stereo, cash, several theatre trips, MP3 player, Digital camera and printer, cash in half time draw tickets at a match, Poker million party tickets & hotel stay, plus loads of other small prizes.

However, my best win ever was a trip to Jamaica staying at Ian Flemings Goldeneye where he wrote the Bond books. Fantastic and ambition is to go back one day but the cost of staying a night is the same as paying for a holiday so can't see it happening. I was James Bond for a week with private beach and jet skis and the garage has been converted in to a private cinema and all the Bond films on dvd to watch. Just thinking about it again brings a smile to my face.

i forgot a cracker from when i was about 11yrs. there was a farm up where i lived and i used to go up there with my pal carol. we took lessons and helped muck out the school horses.
on haloween, everyone was invited to a fancy dress party with or without horse. guess what? Yes thats right. i won the non horse category. my mum made me an outfit like i was a mexican coyboy on a horse. she built a horse shell made of cardboard and it had braces to hold it on when i climbed in. it even had the cowboys legs dangling over the sides. a cool costume. i stumbed over the field and over 2 fences with and it on and still made it in one piece. my mum was made up when i got home and i shared my goodies with everyone. brilliant!!

My biggest win would be on the horses when I placed a 50p Heinz 57 costing me 33 quid-ish with tax and winning all 6 races Paying me just over 3k

The following week I was in a tiny little betting shop and placed a 20 quid win treble, the first two horses had Michael Roberts on board and both coasted home at a very good price something like 2/1 and 7/2.

However I had go a bit carried away with the third horse and picked it purely for the name HARRYS COMING, my little boys name, Priced at 33/1

The race was not on tv so we had to hear it over the tannoy, half way through the voice says “and now over to hackney for the dogs”, well when the race came back on the guys says “And with one furlong to go Harrys coming 3 lengths clear”. Well at this my heart started racing and the gezzer behind the counter, the owner I presume came round and stood next to me, he said something like

“wow I bet your sweating on this one”

“not as much as you mate was the reply” anyway he came 3rd and that was that. but it would have been nice. close but no cigar
