It came in a box so obvious hadn’t been checked before being donated

  1. 1/4 bottle of very old gin. Gordon’s hasn’t had that label for YEARS.

  2. A marrow. A massive bloody marrow. And an electric cheese grater.

  7. *Hello I Must Be Going* by Phil Collins on cassette, aged about 6. 

  8. A gift voucher for a shop that closed down the day before the day of the raffle.

  10. Got a similar bottle of gin for my birthday. Gifter had a shit day and drank half on the train over.

  11. A four pack of Warsteiner lager whilst at a NAAFI jumble sale in Germany, at 9 years old. I was into my first mouthful and told my mum it tasted funny. We’d all thought it was a popular kids drink ‘malt beer’, but it was not.

  12. I won a ticket to have another go at the same raffle.

    I didn’t win anything with my second ticket.

  13. In 1978 when I was doing my basic training in the navy, one of the Gunnery Instructors persuaded me to buy a raffle ticket for his local club. It cost me a hard earned 50p. A month later, he accosted me, saying, Oi you c***, you’ve won my f****** raffle, and handed me a cheque for 25 quid, which was almost 2 weeks wages. Scarlet O’Hara was his name. Bless him.

  15. 2nd prize.

    A tablecloth.

    Thanks RSPCA.

    I was about 7 years old.

  18. At our Christmas school raffle, we got to pick from the range of prizes, and I never did a raffle since, so I never got anything weird. I still have the double-sided sports pencil case somewhere.

  19. I won a can of pilchards once. Luckily I quite like pilchards.

  21. I took a punt on the drinks tombola at my school’s summer fair. I won a bottle of Listerine.

  22. Won a bird box from the pub quiz raffle last year. Brought it home and my daughter’s got up the next morning and assumed I’d made it for them. I didn’t correct them, they painted it, and now the teachers think I’m some sort of amateur carpenter.

  23. I was a couple of mo ths old when my grandma put my name (as well as hers) in a raffle.

    I won a hair dryer.

    Thf I got to use it by time I was 24 to dry my beard, it was pretty good tbf.

  24. Can’t decide if the weirdest was a catering sized box of fresh tomatoes or 1/6 of a mountain bike. (There were 6 of us in the team)

  26. One of those coffee pod machines. Enormous, ugly, evil piece of tat. Makes much better coffee than anything else I own though, and it was free, so obviously I can’t get rid of it. Stuck buying pods for the fucker for the rest of my life. It’s like a very needy unwanted pet.

  27. Not me but a friend, when we were down the pub once won a pig’s head. Is this a normal thing? What would you even do with it?

  28. A tin of peas and carrots……it prompted me to make a roast tho so, silver linings and all that.

  29. Hope do you know what’s actually in that bottle? I’d be very *very* cautious about drinking that.

  31. I was 7 at a school fun day and won a VHS of amistad

  32. In 1990, 4-ft stuffed Bertie Basset, in the staff raffle at Asda.
    We kept it stashed under the stairs because our (female) dog loved humping it.

  33. I entered a raffle multiple times and 10 year old me won a ballet dvd, a turkish tea set, a massive photo of people shooting guns on horse back from the middle east, and the ugliest santa themed bowl thing youve ever seen in you life (I think the raffle was in summer). All in the same raffle.

  34. An electronic, singing sunflower. It scared the bejeezus out of me. Probably still would now
