I must be the lucky one here. I have won 2 holidays a few years ago, one to Tenerife and one to Kos. They were both self catering and excellent. The first one was a Thomson holiday and the second one with Thomas Cook.

I won a trip to Disneyland Paris a few years ago just for entering my name in a free prize draw in Woolworths. The prize was for 100 families and they opened the park exclusively for the prize winners at night and put on special entertainment and a banquet. We stayed at the Newport Bay hotel which was really nice.

I also won a weekend theatre break in Glasgow, again in a free prize draw.

Hi Miss Pink. I would love to win another holiday so, much as I would like to help my luck has definately run out so no point sending me your coupon :D Hi, alsbaby. Well, my tenerife holiday I won online. I just happened to be browsing online when I saw Thomsons in conjunction with Dairylea cheese offering a holiday. All I had to do was enter the code off a tube of Dairylea. I always have some in, so just entered my code and next day I got an email to say I had won. They told me the accomodation we had to go to for 1 wk, so I asked if we could have 14 days if we paid extra and that was it! The next holiday was when Thomas Cook and Direct holidays were getting together and in the daily paper I spotted that they were giving away 10 holidays a day for a week!! That was so tempting so I just entered my name and by return was told I could choose any holiday in their brochure to the value of £1000. Brilliant. We had never been to Kos so we chose a holiday there. Pity I wouldn't win one now as I am retired and money is not what it used to be!

Oh I also won a car a few years ago as well via Road Safety Scotland and just a couple of months ago I won a complete Sony Home Cinema System from LOVEFILM.

I won a 5 day break to Bruges years ago. It was a charity raffle ticket first prize. I used to sell these at work and everyone used to whinge every time I brought them out (quarterly I think it was), so the last time I was sent some I bought them all myself - £15 worth I think. And I won! Should've seen their faces at work, ha ha!

nope, never, I was going to say never entered than I realised that I have done :rofl

Years ago I won a family holiday for my daughter and her family in France.That was 2nd. prize. Thank goodness I didn't win 1st. prize------------it was a ride-on mower. I only have a small concrete back yard!That same year I won a gas bbq, a microwave and £50. Seem to have got out of the habit of doing comps. now.

You have done well Kiltman! :tup
Started doing competitions a few months ago, it is very addictive! Won a weekend break to Germany just before Christmas. As they say, you have to be in it to win it. ;)

I did start doing all those online competitions a while back . You can find links to them on websites such as moneysavingexpert and hotukdeals and they even give you the answers :tup .

I went mad entering hundreds of them for a few weeks . All travel ones as I wasnt interested in winning such things as an xbox or years supply of baked beans.

Never won a sausage so I got bored and gave up. :sulk
