Winning ............?

Have you ever one 'odd' prizes ?
I entered a radio competition between me and another lady on air - I won. The prize was a Dennis Rousos (spelt wrong I know) LP. When I received it I was shocked at the sight of it
What am I to do with it ? Do I know anyone of Greek origins ?
Yes - the dry cleaners, so off I went, 'Here you are' says I
'a present for ya' - a look of bewilderment befell the face of the receiver, but she did smile and take it from me

Hello Cranberry You're right we just get the rejected stuff

Jean bought me a bottle of sherry - I was unable to keep it so gave it to the raffle as a future prize
Jean won it - not only that - she gives it to me with a big grin on her face

Re: Winning ............?

I won a JVC Music Centre about 25 years ago with a raffle ticket I bought for my children's School Christmas Raffle

It's still working well to this day!

I call it odd as I never usually win anything like that!

Oooooo .... YESSSSS
A few decades ago, I entered a Bees Seeds/Woolworth competition ... and won £100 of Woolworth vouchers for the caption I came up with for a cartoon of some kind.

That's so funny. ... I won't buy tickets now if whiskey is involved. Strange thing is at my Grandsons school his Mum bought a raffle ticket at his Christmas play, I decided against it as it was mostly wine, which I don't drink either. Guess which ticket won, yes, the one after hers!! Just narrowly missed that. Funny old life, int it?

I won 3 pair of ear rings in a raffle. Did not match the suit I was wearing at the time. So I gave them to my mum.
