Fat Striker Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Just been filling out a few competition entries, clinging to the hope that I may win something decent. What's the most elaborate prize you have ever won or indeed the most useless? Are all these prize draws a waste of time or have some of you been lucky in the past?

Say What Again Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I won a digital radio, John Griegs book (which I think was signed), and something else which I can't remember from Radio Scotland's weekday football programme. I was announced as the winer and contacted by email. Weeks later I'd received nothing. I contacted them and was sent out the digital radio (which is pretty good and has the BBC logo and SPL logo on it). Never received the signed book or the other prize which escapes my memory. ****s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say What Again Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Never received the signed book or the other prize which escapes my memory. ****s Which reminds me. Not me, but a mate, was the 'face in the crowd' a good few years back in the Hearts programme. As he stayed in Haymarket he popped into Tynecastle to collect his crate of Strongbow only to be told to come back another time. Then told that again. Then told that a third time. He gave going back in for it 3 attempts and left them his phone number. Never heard from them. He was a Hobo anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gasman Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Got into competitions while off work, and after reading about two guys who each one three motorbikes, as they were the only two who entered the competition, and the prizes had to be awarded. Don't take it too seriously (only when I can be bothered !) and don't spend much, just dabble, but with some luck. Two tickets to the premier of Batman Two tickets for Blondie at Edinburgh Castle last year. Trip for two to Italia 90 (raffle, courtesy of Lochend Utd!) Countless books, CD's, jewlery, DVD's, etc. Got to be in it to win it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I once won a Plasma telly from a football messageboard, but I won't go into what happened. Not a story I think I've heard - I think I can guess, though, that perhaps you never got to enjoy the plasma telly??? Much to the envy of just about everyone associated with my kids' school, I won a signed England football shirt in a raffle. When collecting it, I was asked to say a word or two and so I thanked them profusely for such a lovely clothes hanger and for their consideration in providing a cloth with which to keep it clean.

Tazio Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 A gold medal in the 50m 3-legged race for male/female entrants (with a partner obviously) at the Applecross Highland Games. Apparently broke the record as well which is pretty impressive as I was half cut and had injured my foot in a particularly dirty challenge on someone in the 5 a sides earlier.
