I used to work with a guy, who was part of a syndicate which won enough to pay off their mortgages.

A guy at work won big at the bookies twice, getting something like £60K the first time and £30K the second.

My Mum and uncle won the pools twice, getting about £9K on one of the times (can't remember what the other was).

My other uncle won £20K on some cigarette comp.

My wife has won trainers and got to meet Paula Radcliffe (marathon runner), has won spa days, jewellery and quite a few other things.

Me.. nothing ever

In about 1987 my little syndicate at work won the pools - I had a quarter-share of £6,000 which was worth having 20-plus years ago,

I have never forgiven Stevenage Borough for letting their opponents score in injury time that weekend, without that our win would have been not £6,000 but £60,000. Hey ho.

i won the pools once in 1975 it was just about enough to buy a washing machine at the time, we had just got married so were well chuffed.

also won first prize in daily mail loto comp many years ago, when i went down there to collect, there were about 500 other people there!! plus all those that claimed by post, i got a cheque for 6p (old money!!)

i won first prize at a fete in warrington, a video player for tv, gave it cousins as they did not have one.
