Whitestar Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Just wondering if anyone has ever won anything decent in a competition, like a holiday or a car or a speedboat. Do you actually get the item or do they give you a cash alternative? . Anyone ever been on a gameshow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underpants Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Won tickets to a Michael Mcintyre gig at the MEN arena. Worst seats in the arena. I entered a BBC TV comp for tickets for the World Cup final in '82. 12 question during the tournament and I got them all right. And this was using proper research by going down to the library and useing knowledge that I already had. When they did announce the winner they did say that less than 1000 people had got all the questions correct. I was dead proud of myself.

Theres a lot of seats like that in there. Back corners of top tier in a less well attended event are some of the coldest, loneliest places on earth.

freds dad Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I won six figures on the lottery a few years. Not enough to retire on but enough to pay off the mortgage and put a few quid away. I also won a bottle of Pomagne at Kearsley Cricket Club Fete in the late 70’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted July 19, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted July 19, 2020 Me and wife gave up smoking in 2006 and a workmate pointed out a website asking for couples who helped each other to give up. It was a national thing and we came second, winning £3000 in Thomas Cook (RIP) vouchers. They paid for me, wife, brother and three kids to see Bolton play Ath. Madrid.

Guest Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Won 2 tickets for the final session at a World Championship Snooker at The Crucible. I wasn’t arsed, but my dad was mad keen. Stephen Hendry had it wrapped 18-4 so there was no final session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
