Just won 2 return Airfares to Hawaii and $2000 hotel money on a tv show. When I get the video I'll post it. For those of you that don't know, I live in Australia and it's a 11 hour flight and an expensive prize. I'm so :biggrin: now I need a beer and sleep as I have to get up for work in 5 hours.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. It's true, last time I won a $2000 FULL HI DEF 1080 42" LCD TV on the AFL footy show for 1st prize in a look a like competition, here is the link for that one

http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=en-AU&brand=ninemsn&vid=e7648ecb-54f1-4697-bee2-60b6b8004ab9

I did have a thread about it but it got lost in the hack GGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRR

This time it was a different show, same channel, Hey Hey It's Saturday (It's called that because it used to be on Saturday for 20+ years, now it's on Wednesday Night.)

I ended up winning a prize to the value of $7144, 2 return flights to Honolulu and $2,000 for accommodation. The competition was who could make and throw a paper plane the furtherest. The further you threw the better the destination.

On offer was Launceston (Tasmania, Australia), Newcastle (New South Wales, Australia), Perth (Western Australia), Christchurch (South Island, New Zealand), Phuket (Thailand), Honolulu (Hawaii, USA).

Only the person who threw their paper plane the furtherest would win the prize. Not only did my plane go the furtherest, it flew so far it went out of the studio!

When I get access to a link to post the video I will. I had a great night and was in shock when I won. I was the last person to throw and someone had already made it as far as Honolulu, they had built up the suspense and quite frankly I was more worried about what people at work were going to say/do if I didnt win.

Cheers.

I have two pictures that fans of the show have put up on facebook.

One is of myself, my wife and the host Daryl Somers.

The other is just after I won when Plucka Duck ran down and jumped into my arms and the host is lol.

Still no video as yet.

You lucky son of a bitch! You're now my new best friend :biggrin:

The only way I could've match this in any way would be by winning the $266M lotto this week. No luck there either...

Nice! A trip to Hawaii just for throwing a paper airplane furthest. See this is why American game shows suck. They bore us with trivial Q&A, when they should be giving prize-payouts for goofing off and having fun :headbang:

Congrats Tony! Hope you and the wife have a great time :drinking:
