While on a course at JATE in the 70's, Concord was doing training flights for BA and they had a daily raffle for station personnel to go up; never won.
One of the Gutersloh Harrier Squadrons used to fly a Harried t-bird back to the UK some weekends; was offered a flight, but never managed to get off when a seat was available.
I never win the lottery either .......................
