‘I never usually win anything, probably because I don’t bother entering, but never seem to have any luck even when I do. The exception to this was when an Aunt put a £5 scratchcard in my birthday card one year and I won £1000.’

‘Either four Reading tickets or a 1/4 scale Sideshow Killer Croc statue. Both went on eBay, and sold for a lot less than I’d hoped, but still a free couple of hundred quid.’

‘A few years ago I won a competition for someone to come and do a classroom makeover for the new school year. As someone who hates doing display boards, it felt like winning the lottery.’

‘Florida holiday. I got to choose the hotel and stayed in this amazing five star resort in Fort Lauderdale. We had activities included too. I was able to extend (at my cost) and drove to Orlando and spent a few days at universal too.
Another memorable win, though nowhere near the same value, was a years supply of Yorkshire Tea! It was a runners up prize but the prize I was really hoping for!’

‘A three day tour of Uluru (Ayr’s Rock), Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon, in the centre of Australia. The only catch was I had to get myself there.’

‘Tonight in the pub I had 50p on me so decided to do two 25p spins on the bandit and won £56.50 on the first spin.
Pound for pound easily my best ever win.’
