What Is Your Favourite Comp Win?

Ask a Question

I never win any competitions (only thing I've won this year is some peanut butter 😄), so let me live vicariously through you and tell me your best competition prizes - big money? Something that led to a special memory? Item that you wouldn't be without now?

My favourite one was when I won a £500 Asda voucher. Paid for our groceries for a while, plus some clothes for our son.

MrsCraig That's a great prize (could have got a lot of peanut butter with that 😁), must have made shopping more fun than usual!

I just log into my other email account for My Happy Street and won an iPad Pro for £7.95 (was £1300) via Survey Reward Edition. I did not fill in my details because they want my bank account details and I am reluctant in giving it to a website I am unsure about. I have read the rave reviews about this prize from other winners. What do you think about this prize? I email them telling them I don't have a bank account. the offer closes in seven hours' time.

sulawesi it was fantastic. Meant we could use the money towards something else.

jam45 Be very careful J, there are a lot of scams going around , check their e mail address, hover over the incoming to see if it a normal one and not hieroglyphs jumbled up , and see if there is a phone number , check on google and see reviews, i get messages weekly on facebook i have won something , always scams , and if they ask for money for delivery its another bad sign

My best win was a holiday to New Zealand and i double checked everything before replying the company

telmel You have got your head screwed on and can smell a rat a mile off. I will now close my account with Happy Street daily competition and their survey reward section. I don't think there was any details given about the company. Thanks for the security advice regarding checking the details given.

AlysonC I've won lots of fantastic prizes over the years but that one is certainly one of my favourite competition wins. I've got a prize on the way which I'm excited about.

kate1310 I feel like giving up on the lottery as we tend to get lots of lucky dips, although my Mum won nearly £2000. A GP that I used to work with recommended that I buy Premium Bonds instead as at least you get your money back. I'm glad that I took her advice as I have won as much money as I have invested.

Over the last 5 years best wins have been £200 love2shop voucher, £250 handmade leather shoes and £500 Amazon voucher. I've spent the Amazon voucher, still got the shoes and I'm waiting for the love2shop.

sulawesi They were/are flat wedding shoes, I went with the least fancy option and thought my daughter might like them but no. I did try selling them as they're a bit over the top for every day wear but that was another no. So they sit in their box 'till I decide what to do next. Image

Lynibis I'll have to think of or find a special occasion. I opted for flats rather than the heels that were on offer thinking they would be more use but they are very fine and cream suede. Perhaps they should be my holiday shoes 🙂

lilyflower I can't remember the last time I wore heels and then less than 2" so they would do me well but although I would wear them I am not one for ankle straps.

lilyflower they are absolutely gorgeous! I don't think that they are over the top for everyday wear. I would wear those to work. I think they would be perfect for holiday shoes.

The best prize I won was a stay in a fancy hotel (we got the top suite too!). It included afternoon tea when we arrived, a chocolate truffle making class, 3 course dinner, breakfast and then a picnic hamper to take home.

Best price I ever won was just over 34yrs ago. It’s actually my daughter’s birthday today and bout 5/6 weeks before she was due I won a pram in the local supermarket. I’d already had a pram paid off and left over in pram shop in town. They let me cancel the pram and use money in the shop for everything else I needed which was good job as she was born the next wk, 5wks early by emergency section and hubby had just been paid off and we were panicking how we’d afford stuff for her. Thanks to my win she’d best of everything and hubby got new job 2wks later. That was like another comp win 😂

Like a few other compers on here I've not exactly been on a strong winning streak recently..... But then about 3 weeks ago I received an email informing me I'd won a bicycle. Great I thought, I may use it to pootle around, or maybe stick it on eBay and hopefully make £100 or so. This morning this parcel arrived -

And after a little googling of the exact make and model I'd won I found it was this one -

So, I've just won a top spec bicycle worth a tad over five grand 😵
