    Competitions

    Right this is my first thread so go easy on me!

    One of my mates has just won an Ipad in a competition and I was just wondering what is the biggest win anybody has ever had?

    Can you tell I'm bored on a Thursday afternoon?!

    I have myself down as a very unlucky person, so is it worth bothering to enter all these competitions? Never fancied it before but after his win I feel like giving it a go.

      £140million on the Euro lottery. I spent it all on drugs, alcohol and women. The rest I wasted.

        That's George Best's line.

            At least get the line right!

            I spent 90% of my money on women, drink and fast cars. The rest I wasted

              Lady Tester's mum does lots of the competitions in magazines like 'dream up a slogan' or 'tell us why you think the sun shines out of our arses' and wins quite a lot of stuff. But she's retired and has fook all else to do.

              So she's recently handed on to us;
              1 hairdryer
              1 blender
              2 tickets to see the Buddy Holly story
              1 electric cool box for in the car

              and that's just off the top of my head

                  Went through a competition phase when I was on maternity leave with #2.

                  Best prize was a meal for two at a local hotel.
                  Only other win I can remember was a disposable camera, which I had to attend a presentation evening to receive, but I've a feeling there were a couple of other small wins too.

                    A lot of people seem to have experience of winning stuff then.

                    Maybe I should just enter a few when I'm bored at work and see what happens. Think the best bet is to go for Facebook competitions with companies that don't have an immense amount of likes- gives you a good chance. Ironically one of the first ones I found was this! https://www.facebook.com/CXCGlobalUK...43103275748075

                    If I don't win in a competition related to Contracting I never will!
