Gonzaga chess tournament 2006 (Major section, 1200-1600 rating). E125. Also won £40 at bingo about 15 years ago. And thats about it...
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.
