What’s the greatest prize you’ve ever won?

Won 20k about ten years ago, that was pretty sweet.
So whats the largest/best prize you’ve ever won?

 

I once won a jug of Sangria in a pool competition in Tenerife.

 

I won a Mr Sneeze plush toy in a raffle in Wales when I was about 8.

 

I won the 50m breaststroke in some NW schools gala.

 

This is clearly a forum of champions
Well done everyone!!!

 

I survived one life threatening motor bike accident, so I guess that’s a win, win, win.

 

When I was a kid I collected the Merlin Premier League sticker album. Every year Merlin would hold an event and one year they had a game where you pay a quid or two for three kicks of a ball at a wall with holes in. If you kick it through a hole you won packs of stickers. Bang, top right corner, 75 packs of stickers - Ballin'.

 

I won well over 500 pints of beer over a 5 year period in the local pub quiz

 

I once won a light up penguin.

 

A couple of years ago I won two tickets to a T20 match at The Oval. It was a talksport comp on their website. When we got there we got chatting to the group of people sat next to us who told us that they worked for talksport. They'd been given the tickets last minute as they were supposed to be for a bunch of competition winners but only one person had entered so they'd only given two away.

 

Greatest thing I ever won was an all expensives paid trip to the States - it included flights for two, luxury hotel, all food including restuarants outside the hotel, transfers (including internal flights), trips to sights by coach, tour guide, entrance fees. The only thing it didn't include was alcohol, so you had to pay your own bar bill but other than that never cost me a penny.

 

Win some bubble kush seeds the other day on facebook.

I basically Charlie sheen the **** outta life

 

Harrod’s Christmas Hamper from Vodafone after entering a quiz when I bought a phone. The problem was the phone was a surprise Christmas prezzie for my wife so explaining the hamper was a bit tricky....

 

Had some good wins on the nags over the years. Not the biggest , but the most memorable was £770 plus change from a £1 win Yankee.

I was in the pub watching England run out of ideas in that WC qualifier against Greece in 2001. Gave up all hope of England ever scoring, went next door to check my runners at Longchamp, just in time to witness the last of the four cross the line in front. Thank you very much Frankie Dettori

Trousered my winnings in cash, went back in the pub, pub exploded as Beckham scored the goal that took England to Japan. Bought everyone in the pub a drink - it was a full pub too, flash **** that I was.

Good weekend, that one. Sakhee won the Arc de Triomphe the next day too, also ridden by Frankie and backed by me.

 

This avatar. Suck it up, chumps.

 

Funny you say that

 

I won the heart of a lovely lady...


I won a pair of Beats headphones in a raffle... They sucked and broke in less than 6 months. Glad I didn't pay silly money for that crap like some people do.

 

Apparently same thing happened to @Hoddle Is A God , but he also got a helicopter ride from the hotel to the Grand Canyon

 

I've been to the States more times than I can remember. The funniest bit was him not knowing the difference between Nevada and California

 

Yeh I remember that Was in California all along, or his attic.

HIAG to confirm.
