I hardly ever win anything but the best was winning a PSP in a Photoshopping competition on the theme of "Things get more interesting when you say Yes" sponsored by Virgin Money, which went horribly wrong.
I won it with this picture:
What's the best thing you ever won?
I won a first class flight to Vegas with a helicopter flight through the Grand Canyon for watching Con Air.
I won a glass trophy for being the best newspaper designer in Merseyside in 2004. And yes, I was the only entrant.
So far, I think Bussell's shaded it.
I won a Lego voucher in a drawing competition when I was little. I got the LEGO Technic excavator, which was brilliant.
Class.
Bussell's is still the best prize, but not necessarily the coolest or funniest.

I won a week-long UNIX training course at Hewlett-Packard once. Has anybody ever won a more depressing prize than that ?
Bloody hell, what did you have to do to win it?
I won the hearts of my people when I killed the evil King Baldarr. He was a right bastard.
Wow did you have to wear an orange jump suit, and confess to being in Al Quaeda?

To add insult to injury, the course was in Bracknell.
Oh, Griff. Oh, Griffy-griff-griff.

Hey Bandage do a Batman avatar!
I won a signed copy of Chuck Palahniuk's Haunted off the XFM breakfast show back when Lauren Laverne hosted it a couple of years ago. It didn't come so I emailed her and she said she'd sort it out.
She never did. The bitch.
