A Gourmet Weekend for two at The Imperial Hotel, Torquay. Put business card in a drum at an exhibition at Earls Court and was informed several weeks later of the prize. Can't remember which company sponsored it but they copped for all the expenses(Train travel,taxis etc.) Lovely suite with balcony, boat trip Sat morning with Pimms reception and different wines with each course at dinner.

My mate won an Aston Martin twenty years ago.

It was one of these airport raffles they do, where we all presume that nobody wins.

He was eighteen at the time and sold it for £75k. He did go halves with a mate, but it set him up nicely to buy his first house.

My dad won a full set of Gary Player golf clubs in a raffle and Gary signed the bag.
My dad, myself, my brother & a mate of his went to see a match between Gary Player and Nick Faldo at a golf club, near where I live, before Faldo was well known.
£5 a ticket & we had a great day watching them play a course we knew very well. The raffle was held at the end of the day & it was an amazing end to a superb day out.

Not quite a raffle but out of 72,000 entries (allegedly) I won a Plasma TV from a Betfair incentive a number of years ago. Thought it was a wind-up when they rang me

Not a raffle but in 2001 I got to give Thierry Henry the Arsenal player of the month award at Highbury.  I didn't even know it was a competition; I thought I was just voting for the player of the month on the website.  A year later I won a signed shirt on Football Focus.

Mick Laugh I won a bottle of brandy from a raffle two weeks running as a student. Used to do a pub quiz and we got battered by one team all the time, but the raffle was a nice consolation.

Not a raffle but a lucky number on a greyhound program at Hove about 40 years ago. It was the rolls royce of the train set world made by  Fleischmann in Germany.
ps it was from a program i picked up off the floor, that someone had thrown away.

2 raffle wins:
Hackney speedway 1976 (I think) - A set of bathroom scales and my name in next week's programme, which I've still got somewhere.

Huntingdon Races about 20 years ago. I had ticket number 31 but lost it. Would have won a signed copy of Steve Smith Eccles's book. And he was there to hand out the prize and they kept calling out the winning number and I couldn't collect. Sad

A business class ticket with SAS from Singapore (where I lived) to anywhere in Scandinavia.

Since I'd been doing the trip on business, I had no interest in the prize and the ticket never got used.
