And I once won a thunderbirds quiz, which was even better (I was 8, I think)

Walked in, watched 2 minutes of drumming and they called the winning raffle ticket out. I walked up to collect my prize, a nice Meinl hand finished splash cymbal signed by some bloke called Marco Minnerman. I couldn't tell you if Marco handed it to me but I said thanks very much. waved at the drum shop owner and that was it.
Best 50p I'd spent for ages.

More recently (still over 10 years ago mind!) I won a pair of skis at work. The company magazine ran a "Win some skis or a snowboard" completion by explaining why you thought you should win. I wrote a poem (that I can't remember) about our first ski holiday that we'd just returned from. It must have been good because I won.
That's the lot, nowt before or since.
Thankfully some particularly skillful play on my part meant that the rest of Lady BMcH was still attached to the hand, and she took a bit of a shine to me.
I won the £100 prize which I didn't even know was there to encourage diligence and early completion of the survey.
I've won some guitar leads, got a pedal for prize letter in Guitarist ( my letter was actually very similar to the OP in this)and won a TheFB raffle prize. I think that's it. Oh, yes, the Hooziers first album in an online competition from the Civil Service Motorists Association.
I used to work with someone who did all the competitions in Take a Break and those kind of mags and she won several things per year - cheap weekend breaks type stuff.
Oh, my uncle won Sale of the Century - this was probably nearly 40 years ago so it wasn't the start of us being a showbiz family.
Funnist was at a rugby club raffle, I won a 3l bottle of Bacardi. I don't drink Bacardi, it went behind the bar, lasted ages.

I won a pair of tights.
They were a bit new-fangled at the time, and quite expensive, so 'er indoors was quite pleased.
