I am obsessed with entering competitions, and I've won quite a few by now (I got free tickets to the same music festival seven years in a row due to my dedication). I love hearing stories of what others win and how they use their winnings.

My phone service provider used to do daily roulette type giveaways.

I won a free return flight to basically anywhere in Europe.

I actually never did anything with it, because at the time I couldn't afford to pay for someone else to go with me (I would have gone with my partner).

I regret not just flying on my own, but them's the rubs - I was, and am, a bit of an idiot.

I also once won a game key by making a funny YouTube comment on a Unit Lost video once too - but I never used that either; it wasn't a game I was interested in, I just liked to watch the vids for a bit of a laugh.

I don't win much, but when I do I squander my wins.
