Scary Bear Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I generally use this competition website for finding competitions.https://www.loquax.co.uk/I've won good prizes, like £5k and a trip to the Formula 1 in France, and shit prizes like a Scotland international team beer glass, a Ryobi branded inflatable set of goals, and a cheap and nasty green plastic Gatorade bottle. Most of these shit prizes get horsed in the bin.Recently I've won football match tickets for games I had no intention of attending - Sunderland v Everton, St Johnstone v Dundee United Scottish Cup Final.Runners up prizes in low value competitions are generally a bit shit.

microdave Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I was putting a coupon on one Saturday and was asked to enter a competition to win Scottish cup tickets which I duly did. A few weeks later having forgotten about it, I received a letter informing me of my win and to go to the ticket office at Glebe park to collect. The only problem was that the game had been played two days previously! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdogunderdog underdog Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 The worst I've seen is a sack of spuds as one of the prizes from the raffle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I've seen multiple raffles where one of the prizes was a substantial amount of horse shit. There's always one person who's very excited about winning it "to put on my garden". Uhuh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 The best has to be 2 season tickets for St Johnstone, simply put, better than any other prize or experience this planet can offer. Worst? It's probably the garden gnome/ornament set. I stayed in a fucking flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Won a few text-in competitions on Dominik Diamond's radio shows. There were no grand prizes, he'd just give away tat he had at home as prizes. Won a tatty book about cricket, signed by the cricketer. Gave it to my brother for his Christmas present. Got to chat to the lovely Marissa de Andrade though when she'd call up for my address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacker Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I've won tickets to Thistle games before and hospitality for two at a home match vs. Kilmarnock. I also won a Facebook competition where you had to predict the winner of the 2012 Open Championship. It was for £200 worth of golf clothing and I wrote Ernie Els then completely forgot about it. A year later I checked the 'Other' folder in my messages and saw a DM saying I'd won. I replied saying 'superb, how do I collect my prize?' as if there wasn't a year-long gap between messages, and he told me to piss aff. Guy could've made more of an effort to get in touch with me though, even a friend request would've been enough for me to see that message...

NorthernJambo Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I have never used this app. However I have unlimited texts so I look forward to becoming a millionaire by this means. I had the same thought. Unlimited texts, unlimited entries, unlimited monies. Then I minded the "fair use policy". What if the app goes beyond the policy and this money making scheme costs me money? Was this app made by Vodafone? Bet it was shysters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
