This is a question 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.

Well quite
Day time TV is filled with brain dead phone quizes where people are asked is New York nicknamed A) The hairy arsehole, B) I will kill you all or C) The Big Apple. No skill at all but the question exists to justify charging idiots £2 per message, 8 messages minimum to enter a "competition" which is basically a random draw.

That said most household brands run competitions / draws in good faith. You pay the network rate for an SMS competition or the price of a postage stamp. I guess they run the competitions as a promotion not as an excuse to profit from idiots.

Anyway, I realize things have changed a lot which is a shame given the amount of stuff I won in the old model.
