I remember winning a family size block of ice cream every week for a year, so I had 52 coupons. I was 10 years old and over the moon! I did give several away.

I can’t remember winning anything, ever?

I won a This Morning competition about 20 years ago ,loads of tech stuff,TV's,compters and laptops game m/c's and loads more .plus6k cash.
Think that was my whole of life winnings in one go.

Strange thing was I didn't knowwhat the prize was and in those days they called you to let you know you were on a shortlist so I had to ask my daughter who had instructed me to enter what I was entering for .
Nobody believed me when I won ,the kids and my sisters thought I was joking ,until the massive van turned up and loaded it all into the house.We had a lot of visitors that week,all selecting what they wanted .
I must try it again sometime

A Frozen (the toy and film) hamper in a Tesco raffle a few years ago.

Forty plus years ago, skint, in a new home with a 15% mortgage, and a new baby, I won the first prize in the butcher's Christmas draw. It was a portable black and white TV. I was ecstatic!
Its been downhill ever since!

What was the last thing you won?

I won a Christmas hamper about 4 years ago, nothing since ?
