I used to do online competitions quite a lot and on average about 5 or 6 prizes would arrive each week.

Most were little things like DVDs, iPod Nanos, 3 or 4 Nintendo DSs, that sort of range.

The more significant ones which I obviously remember most were:
- A trip for 2 to Barcelona
- A Vespa Scooter
- A Dell XPS M1730 Laptop.

BUT I used to cheat to improve my chances........I'd have 17 aliases including my brother's cats who would enter regularly. I was able to do this at the time as had dial-up so a dynamic IP, and they couldn't spot it was multiple entries from the same computer. I also used multiple addresses with only 3 or 4 entrants at each address.
