Bert Raccoon Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Won one of these bad boys by getting a letter published in Sonic The Comic. Problem is the b*****ds never delivered it and for some reason I couldn't be bothered chasing it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone kens the lad McGroarty and he wants it back I'm open to offers. Friend of a friend. He manages Kilsyth Rangers now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 5 hours ago, Cardinal Richelieu said: I actually won a copy of the Amiga game "Pushover" from a computer magazine...it had some sort of crossover with an Quavers. Thought I was the luckiest b*****d alive until I found out they were giving away something like 10,000 copies. Pushover was a decent game, at least. I won a free game from 'The One for ST Games' (what a name) right before the magazine folded. Nothing arrived, so I called the offices for 'The One for Amiga Games' (who were still open), and they offered to send me a load of old Atari shite they'd inherited from the other office. That never arrived either. I'm starting to give up hope that I'll ever get anything from those b*****ds TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernJambo Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Friend of a friend. He manages Kilsyth Rangers now. I knew p&b could deliver! Let's reunite him with his top! (It's at my maws house and they're planning on moving soon). Div could sell this shit! I'm happy to sell him rights to the story and play myself in the film. Cameo for Sarj granted.

Stu Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 12 hours ago, microdave said: 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! On a similar note I won hospitality to motor racing at Knockhill last year. The tickets didn't arrive until the day after the race. Fortunately I'd managed to get in touch with someone connected to the competition and they put tickets on the gate for me. Best and worst prize was arguably the same thing. Years ago I won a trip to see round the HQ of an F1 team, which as a huge motorsport fan was fantastic. Sorted it out, my dad agreed to drive me down, great. Then the team went into administration, the trip was postponed and the team soon went out of business.

Honest Saints Fan Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I entered a "design a new flavour of sausage" competition a local butcher was running when I was about 9. I put forward my pizza flavoured suggestion and won £50 for it. The sausages were fucking rank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I once won a jigsaw puzzle as something like 15th prize in a raffle. It had a particular nauseating picture of kittens on it. I couldn't even bring myself to give it to charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I just remembered that I won a Hearts top signed by club legend Conrad Balatoni from Jambos Kickback. Well it's a good top to be fair - not the worst prize ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 i won a bottle of 'fine single-malt whisky' on Real Radio in 2002 for answering a riddle. They said they'd send it out to me and took my address. A few weeks later they phoned me to ask why I hadn't picked it up! I ended up driving through for it. They told me they'd given away the single-malt whisky by accident and gave me a bottle of White and McKay blend that probably cost about £9.

Scary Bear Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 i won a bottle of 'fine single-malt whisky' on Real Radio in 2002 for answering a riddle.

They told me they'd given away the single-malt whisky by accident and gave me a bottle of White and McKay blend that probably cost about £9. I won something like £25 in The Sun for a star letter. Never received payment. It was just some sentimental pish about Craig Brown which I figured would appeal as he had just left the Scotland gig. I was staying in a flat in Aberdeen at the time so I'm not sure of it was The Sun or the postie who failed to get me my money.I won a bottle of Highland Park and a Highland Park mountaineering kit (hip flask, Swiss Army knife, compass and torch, for answering a The question: which is the highest mountain in the U.K.? I was live on that Talk107 or whatever the talk radio show from Edinburgh was called. Went to the station to collect it. Was standing in TK Max in Kirkcaldy when I won it. A veritable JFK moment.
