    Didn't have to pay some compo hunter eight grand at an employment tribunal.
    Felt like a win even though it was a score draw away from home.


    Ask me, Biggins!!!!

    I've avoided paying millions of euros by not committing a variety of crimes.

    So roughly, the most I've won is millions and millions of euros.

    Also won around a hundred euro playing blackjack, lost that after though.

    I once won 800 euro on a greyhound at Shelbourne Park. I had to bet 200 to win that though. That said I had a proper tip, not one of these tips from the 'experts'. ;)

    I won 115million on the euromillions and changed my name from Dolores to avoid being recognised on the internet.

    I won 700 0n Spain to win the world cup. I couldn't believe they were at 14/1 so I put 50 on them.

    But I also put 50 on England (I know,, I fell for their usual hype).

    I won €1k in the Christmas Millionaire raffle 2 years ago. My folks sent over a Christmas card with the ticket inside. They sent another one last year with no win and I have another one for Saturday.

    When and where did you get those odds? I can't remember their odds ever being in double-digits, unless you placed the bet long before the tournament. Could be wrong though.

    Straight money? €829 for matching 5 numbers on the Lotto, had I had 25 instead of 24 for my final number I'd have won the jackpot.

    Most valuable thing I've won was a double horse box in a local show raffle, was worth €6k :)

    I think it was €200 on a club lotto ticket. Ah those were the days! Im still holding out for my big win of course:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭Fizman


    Was big into poker a few years back while in college. Played and won a lot online and the single biggest was a tournament I won with about 400 or so people in it. Lasted about 4-5 hours and finished at around 4.30am, but for the $2,500, it was worth it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,235 ✭✭✭✭Cee-Jay-Cee


    I won €1000 on a scratch card years ago.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,770 ✭✭✭shockwave

    I won a small cake in a primary school raffle. I never win anything :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,556 ✭✭✭Slunk


    Won 2500 on the lotto in paddy power. Four numbers on the national lottery would have probably got me a scratch card.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,835 ✭✭✭CamperMan

    but then I don't play the lottery or gamble.. it's a mugs game, you lose more than you win
