No, not yet anyway, but it's always worth a try I suppose. Thinking about it, I don't think I've met anybody else who has!!

no now thats a scam!

Nope never found anything in a newspaper except depressing news .

Agree it's all a scam.What about money in chocolate bars etc?

The best I've ever had was a £1 cheque in a bag of Walkers crisps (remember the little folded pieces of paper - you usually won another bag of crisps) - my heart skipped a beat until I realised it was for a quid. Bah!!!

I had a great time a few years back when I discovered Nesquik was running a competition and you had to enter a unique code online from your pack of Nesquik and it was to win your child's height in pocket money....I duly entered my codes (and this was one of the first EVER of this type of competition so very unique in that respect) and my son's height, which was 159cm and duly won THREE TIMES a cheque for £159 each time!!!! Amazing.....and it just kept happening....we were stunned! But it was great to see my son's face when the winning message came up and when he got a personally addressed letter from Nesquik with a big yellow cheque inside and his name on it! It was a picture!

When I was younger I remember being home alone and there was a knock at the door, I answered it and a man asked if my parents was at home. I said 'no' so he asked me a question instead ( think I had to finish off a slogan) and won, it was £5 in cash I was shocked and so glad I was home alone that day =)

I had a knock on the door the other day and I was informed if I believed in Jesus.... I gave them £5 to bugger off......

This thread has really mutated!!! but it got me thinking....does anyone remember the best competition they ever won? Or should I say the best prize? Just for fun...

lol @ ruth

I second that terence lol

Not had one other then that knock, £5 was alot of money to a school kid in those days =o

Just recieved some L'OREAL SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER that i won =o forgot all about it.

Scratchcards any big wins - my best £50 on the old OXO yellow card.

The biggest I ever had on a scratchcard was £20 - I can't seem to get past that, but one of these days....I will....I spend enough money on them anyway!!

My stepson won £260.00 first time he visited the bingo hall with his sister, for a laugh!! He hasn't bothered since, wish i had his luck! Ive never really won much to shout about only a £20.00 win on a scratchcard and £60.00 on the lottery after entering the same numbers for nearly 3 years!

My mum has been lucky on the scratchcards - she won £1000 on a £1 last year, and £7000 on the hotpicks - I think it was for four numbers. I have had the odd £10 on the lottery and the odd £2 or two on scratchcards, but thats about it. My numbers I've used since the lottery began, but I dont want to stop them now just incase....

I had only two numbers on last night's lottery....sad, but true! Well done Serena's stepson, that's a great win, and mary's mum £7000....someone at work won £7000 on the hotpicks a few years back and yes, it was four numbers, great stuff! Well done!

My mum is 87 LizzieAnne and has a syndicate of whom she calls her "oldies" who do their lines on the lottery too!!! I was really pleased for her because she helps out a lot to her neighbours when she can, and even does the odd scone or two for anyone who asks and enjoys home baking. Bless her. Its what keeps her going and I'm thankful to have her around. Mums are worth their weight in gold arent they..
