I Win Quite Often
Well now. My immediate family including myself have an uncanny knack at winning things. From sports competitions through to bingo. We have one some very decent prizes over the last 2 decades, including but not limited to holidays in Florida, DVD Player, Dell PC, Moped, Free Dinner & theatre tickets, FA Cup Final tickets, Backstage passes. The best by far though was not just one win but a five year streak! We visited a bowling alley, after bowling played the arcade game - smash hammer on moles or whatever. Win 100 tickets = free bowling next week! Also combined with winning free quazar rounds for 10 years making me possibly the offical TopGun in the whole world!

All these have been on the good side of nice but the crap prizes are what make us the happiest.

Even last week playing darts at my social club i won a box of maltesers, with only half the maltesers remaining. My top ten include:

-A dog. I found a lost dog and while walling it home saw the mutt's missing poster stating reward! Returning the dog to 'distraught' owner i ask of reward. Turns out the reward was the dog she no longer wanted.
-Pencil Sharpner
-Cardboard sunglasses to view eclipse (£5 entry!)
-Another raffle ticket?
-An African Child (sponsored though - but i still own... it.)
-A round of applause
-Pegs without the screws from Ikea
-A box of Lego, but only the large green bases for houses
-Litter. A full black bag of folded boxes and neatly squeezed toothpaste tubes from Art contest
-A beating!
