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.

The Prodigy's Fat of the Land.
The Telegraph used to do a student magazine, Juiced or something, back when the internet was a novelty, and having a hotmail account was cool.
Rather than work on my degree, I took to reading the magazine online, writing in (obviously, I fitted this in between bouts of drinking
, massive drugs and fresher fucking and playing Time Crisis), and entering their competitions, which I never won. So, I wrote to the editor, complaining that , inspite of my regular correspondence, I never won anything off them. The following month, I was the proud winner of a the aforementioned Prodigy album. Was it rigged, or was it just the case that the magazine had a really small readership? I think the magazine folded shortly after, so I guess we'll never know.
