Winning
I once won a gas boiler from The Guardian. Tell us about times you've won, and the excellent and/or crappy prizes you've lifted.

I win the most obscure raffle prizes
I won a rowing machine, a step thingwee, some dumbells and a personal trainer for an hours gym session.
I was on crutches and in a back brace at the time.
They wouldnt exchange it for the 3rd prize of a spa day with flotation tank experience and massages :(
I also won a hot air balloon trip in another raffle, I have a massive fear of heights and flying
The guy who won the 5th prize of a 20 yr old bottle of whiskey was a teetotaler who wanted to take a balloon ride, they wouldnt let us swap, so neither of us claimed our prizes.
I also won a day driving a flash car at a racetrack, I cant drive but a mate really had fun with that one and I earned many future payback points from him.
Must remember to cash those in at some point.
But the one thing I won that made me go squeee was a £100 voucher to spend at my favourite online shop, I think it took me less than 5 minutes to squander it away :)

Bad luck, next time, claim them and fence them off as gifts (or swap in person!)

I would rather eat a book token than go on a hot air balloon ride... I know I would jump, hit power lines, the bottom would fall out - or basically pretty much anything else.
