Similar story. Think it was WM/BRMB, Phil Upton asking for people to phone in, randomly going to select somone to fly to Vegas for the Bruno fight (can't remember if it was the one he won, or when Tyson destroyed him). Wife nagging we had to do shopping so off we trudge. Come back and Phil Upton's on the anwserphone...was going to send you to Vegas but never mind, we'll draw someone else out of the hat.I phoned up the radio once and won a competition where the answer was something to do with Black Beauty. I can't remember even what the prize was. I was about 9

The last sentence was untrue.Wow, really?
Are you spending your days entering them?
Won 2 VIP Tickets to the British GP in 2003 and Met Michael Schumacher. Being 13 at the time that was unreal
Tell you what though that Free Radio cash register competition is definitely a fix. No way can they afford to throw hundreds of grands a week out every week.
Also the 'winners'
'Steve, you've just won 100 thousand pounds!!!'
Steves just like 'oh brilliant thanks thays great news thank you so much thats made my week cheers'
If any normal person won 100k they would be screaming profanities and promising to shag the radio host whilst crying tears of joy
I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ll never win the lottery jackpot (was unlikely anyway) as I have 2 members of my extended family who have won the jackpot. Both circa £6M although one was a syndicate with his best mate so they got about £3M each. For lightning to strike that close twice must reduce your chances.Won family ticket to Winchester science museum on Wave 105.
Also when Euromillions first started the Jackpot was £110m, we got 3 numbers plus the 2 lucky stars. Me and the wife thought we were quids in. Had to be a couple of grand? Nah 76 fucking quid! Two more numbers and we'd have won 110 million ffs. I was fuming. The prize spread on that lottery is ridiculous.

I recon I’m winning a motorbike the same way. Just got to work out a way of getting the money out of our savings account without her noticing.Won a classic car in a competition (well, that’s what I told the wife….)
I've known three jackpot winners - a lady who lived a few streets away, girl at work's dad and mate's dad. Two were in syndicates so got more than half a mil. The lady won just over £1m.I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ll never win the lottery jackpot (was unlikely anyway) as I have 2 members of my extended family who have won the jackpot.

I have won between £100-£200 pounds a few times but each time has been followed by bad luck such as the washing machine went up it so the winnings went straight on that. Had the same with the main TV in the house and the dishwasher, both went up it immediately after a decent win. Although I guess you could class that as good luck.

I, on the other hand, win fuck all.
If I won enough I'd use it to influence the political system away from this wealth obsessed, unfair society we have now. Better spread and fairness of taxation between individuals and companies as well as between rich and poor, and a move away from economic indicators and growth as a measure of success just for starters. Even if with my new found wealth it ended up costing me more in tax.You’d give it away anyway surely
You've just triggered a memory ,same place .I once won a line (bingo) at the Balsall Common British Legion club. Ages ago tho.
Crikey, Dutch - A year for you must be longer than for the rest of us.Braun shaver, hairdryer, etc. 1st prize in the Daily Mirror "Pretty Woman" video competition.
I still use the hairdryer 30 years later.
Stopped doing competitions though after winning 600 tins of Diet Coke.
The entry form said "Win a tin of Diet Coke every day for a year".
It didn't mention they would all be delivered on the same day!
I’m just jealous he’s still got hair to dry 30 years later!!!Crikey, Dutch - A year for you must be longer than for the rest of us.
You were once 10 ???I won a board game from a crossword in the ccfc programme and Dietmar Bruck (I admit I had no idea who he was) delivered it I guess I was about 10
That too!I’m just jealous he’s still got hair to dry 30 years later!!!
TBF you were probably the only entrant if it was CovTel!I was put off draws after I had an ex who worked at Cov Tel and used to ring me up if a prize looked good and magically always managed to pull my name from the hat.
On fags, presumably!!You never know Nick, it does happen.
Wife won a brand new car (Opel Manta) in a Rothmans Ciggies competiton. Unforunately, she'd sold it and spent the money by the time I started going out with her.
Did it involve 10 grand to spend on a hooker for a night? Or 5 years in Hillfields!Braun shaver, hairdryer, etc. 1st prize in the Daily Mirror "Pretty Woman" video competition.
Hate to tell you this, ADM, but that was 50 odd years ago!In the 1970s not long after marvel comic had come out I entered a competition in it and won 3rd prize which was an airfix type kit for a lunar module, Apollo 11 I think .
More important, my name was in Marvel.
40 odd years later I wish I'd kept that particular issue.
