Gonzaga chess tournament 2006 (Major section, 1200-1600 rating). E125. :) Also won £40 at bingo about 15 years ago. And thats about it...:o
A cousin of my mum's won the £250,000 on the wheel on Winning Streak. It was during the summer though, so it wasn't televised. He apparently stuck it all in the bank and kept at the farming.
My grandmother won a car in some local GAA lottery once as well. Don't think she ever learnt to drive though, so just took the cash equivalent and all us grandkids got £100 each or something.:)

Nice, well you can never have enough Gerry Daly gardening books Peadar!
Won a few prizes in raffles etc, nothing major.
The mam was a part of a syndicate that won the lotto, there was 2 winning tickets and about 20 of them in the syndicate !
I won a Celtic quizbook and a Man U -v- Everton DVD on A2ZSoccer.com

Apart from that I've won bugger all.

Some of you might have seen Maggie Reilly singing "Moonlight Shadow" on the Phil Coulter show last season. She had a big hit with it back in the 19802 with Mike Oldfield.
Maggie sang for a short period with Dublin band Stagalee and they played a live gig here in Beeslow in the early 80s. She sounds really girly on Moonlight Shadow but at that gig she was fffing and blinding all night - real hard-ass harridan.
Anyway, I had bought a ticket for a prize of a bottle of whiskey before the gig. During a song break I made my way to the mens' jacks which was located to the left of the stage.
As I exited the jacks, I heard this deafening roar over the PA, "Hey you, ya fcuker, come up here and pull out a ticket for the raffle".
Quickly, I realised that Ms. Reilly was roaring at me.
Anyhoo, I pulled out a ticket and handed it to her.
As I took my place with my mates at a table in front of the stage, she was yelling why nobody would come forward to collect their prize so she called up someone else to pull another ticket.
All during this I was fiddling in my pocket trying to find my ticket and just as someone collected the bottle of whiskey, I pulled out my ticket.
Yep, you guessed it, I had pulled out my own "winning" ticket and just didn't find it in time.:o
To add insult to inuury, I hadn't even the satisfaction of getting laid with the bird I was doing some heavy duty chatting up at that table.:(
Two "prizes" pullled and both lost on the same night.:D
The lads gave me a ferocious slagging, I'll tell ya, that night.
I can laugh about it now.

I remeber winning the film, a few good men in Dunnes Stores when I was around 8. It was a 7up competition and you had to write why you liked the 7up man so much so I wrote, he's cool, he's radical and I like him! oh yeah! worst thing was that I was too young to collect the video, still haven't watched it!

I already had one but it meant I could bring a mate in for free.Almost forgot, I won the half time raffle in Belfield once, Aberdonian Stu won it the following week. That caused some controversy as the two of us were in charge of selling the tickets at the time.

Most recent thing I won was an IPod in a bar up here. They were doing a Budweiser promo and when you got a pint you got a ticket to enter a music quiz.
Don't even drink the p1sh, but my mate had a spare one and I went up and won :D

For the record the draw wasn't rigged on either occasion. Oh and the camera I won didn't even work right.
Btw I know I'm not supposed to quote entire posts but the entire post is relevant and quite short.

I forgot I actually won some sexy red underwear at a Christmas party one year.....I swapped it with a guy for a bottle of whiskey coz he had forgotten to buy his gf a pressie and I wanted whiskey! He got the better end of the bargain tho coz we cracked open the bottle and drank most of it there and then.

The guy then noticed that the underwear weren't his gf's size and said to me "I've known you a long time Magicme and and there's something I've always wanted to ask you,". ....

A keg of Beamish in an anti-extradition pub quiz years ago. Flogged it to the Norseman for cash.
A mini-keg of Amstel at a Pats pub quiz a few years ago. Kept that one.
€500 in the Pats members' bond draw two years ago. Gave it back, they needed it more than me.
€20k-worth of free online advertising at a work conference a fortnight ago. Not much good to me, so work get to keep it.
A few "Post of the week" awards on Hot Press MB. Prizes turned out to be really cráp rap CDs. Didn't keep them.
My mum won a car in the Late Late Show postal quiz a few years back. She didn't like the red Almera saloon she'd won, on account of (a) "I'm not blonde and you'd have to be blonde to drive a red car" and (b) it was too long to fit in the garage. So she didn't keep it, she traded it in for a green Almera hatchback, sold her old car and bought my da a suit out of Louis Copelands seeing as he had filled in her entry form. He called it his mafioso suit on account of only crooks could afford suits that dear.
