Winning the lottery

When I was a kid I won a cake at the local bakery (it was very good, and huge!) and later a flight simulator game in a magazine, my PC was too slow to run at the time so I couldn't play it until I upgraded it fist. Sums up about my winning streak! ;)

My wife plays in the at work lottery, she got a nice win a few years ago with a bunch of collegues, ight after she got her bike licence, so she could go out buy, and ride her CB500 from that :)
 
I also won a large cake once in a guess the weight competition. I was dead chuffed as I’ve always had a liking for a nice bit of cake. 😄That was about 40 odd years ago so it must be about time I won another competition....
 
I once won a set of one piece race leathers; they had a hump and everything! I was at the national motorcycle show at the Birmingham NEC some years (probably 20) ago, and was approached by someone from a motorcycle insurers, and asked to put my name down for a no strings prize draw for a set of Spyke leathers. I thought nothing more about it, and was more than surprised when i got a phone call a couple of months later, asking me for my measurements and within a coupe of months had a set of made to measure leathers turned up on my doorstep! The prologue to this story was that I didn't get on with the built in racing crouch, stuck the leathers on eBay and came out £400 better off!

Anyone in Oz with a classic bike or car will have heard of Shannons Insurance. i've got the Sfq insured with them, agreed value. They send newsletters and promos via email that I usually ignore, and included in them is a comp for new policies, a chance to win a trip for two all expenses paid to the Goodwood festa, plus 5k spending moula, a Merc hire car and an Indian worth A$30k. Well, a friend go a phone call last week that his number came up! He thought it was a hoax call, but has been confirmed.

Don't think I've ever met anyone who has won one of these pseudo lotteries - i always suspected they were phony and no prize ever materialised. Not so!

Well, if he is going to the Goodwood Revival in september he will see me.
I will be running the Grand Prix Talbot Lago T26C in the Front engined GP car race.
Wonderful event!!!

I have been watching a bloke on YouTube building an Edwardian race car, airo engined thing. Some crazy stuff they run at that event.

😳 If it involves guessing the length of a big black cock …. don’t enter the competition!
