Competition time.....

What's the best thing you have ever won?

I have yet to win a thing but I guess taking part in the odd competition would help - so I'm going have a go at a few. Will let you know when I start raking in the prizes.......

I never do competitions either, or the pools, or the lottery, so I can't report any big monetary wins. Any wins I have had have been raffle prizes - toiletries, notelets, bottles of wine etc.

Probably my most impressive freebie was U2's The Joshua Tree. Kit Kat were running a competition where you filled in that name of a CD that you wanted on the back on a wrapper and they would send out 1000 a month, or something like that. I filled in The Joshua Tree and it dropped through my letterbox a couple of weeks later! I was impressed!

A home security system from ADT. It was just the installation that was free but I think that alone is something like $200 or so...not a bad deal.

I don't win things often...

Hmmmm like a lottery thing, or a prize based on talents?

Lottery type thing, I won a drawing at the local department store for a $500 gift certificate. I was only 16 so it was a HUGE deal to me.

Talent based prizes, my two favorites are DMC's national needlework design competition, where I placed third. and the interior design competition where I placed 3rd my first year and 1st my second year..... that one yeilded $1000 which was my downpayment on my first "real" car! :D

I never win anything! My brother won $10,000 one time and didn't even remember entering the contest!Had a aunt that won a brand new car.

My luck is that if it is a raffel, I can buy all but one chance and the person who bought that one chance will win. So I have learned to save my money or if it is for a good cause, I "donate" to that cause.

On my last year in highschool, we had an assignement. We were supposed to explain everything about the European Economic Union (was pretty new then). We wanted to enter our work into a national competition! Guess what....

My group (4 girls) won the first price in the category "groups"! I went with my parents to Brussels , I was called on stage ( :eek: ), and received 10 very good books. I was soooooo proud!!

Later we found out that Bernard was in the same competition and he had won a prize for "single" category!! What a coincidence hey!!

Last year I won an expensive ceramic dish at a bingo bash. I don't usually win stuff, so it was exciting.

Talent-wise I was a majorette in high school and our squad won first place at a state-wide competition. Exciting times! :D
