What's the most you've earnt/won/recieved in one day? Legally or illegally if you want.
My girlfriend and I found over 3000 pounds in a bag in a bush by the side of a country lane about 4 years ago. We hung onto it for a couple of days thinking about what to do with it, before handing it in to the police after thinking the mafia might hunt us down and have our legs broken.
Aside from that, I won 1270 pounds on the British national lottery matching 5 out of the 6 numbers. If i'd of got the sixth one, jeez, i'd of had my share of that weeks jackpot which was around 7 million quid! Even though i won a lot still felt absolutely gutted for months. Safe to say i wouldn't be working here if i had scooped that bad boy! |

Maybe the funniest moment of the whole 'I'm Alan Partridge' series.

I used to make good money as a treeplanter and brushcutter. My best day was almost 700 Canadian dollars. That was pretty unusual, though... Normally I'd be pretty stoked on 300 bucks a day. I was not even a particularly good planter or brusher, either--just average.
It's not really like that anymore, though. Plus you actually have to work really hard...&#$$ it. Babysitting here in Korea is a way better gig. |

| 2.8 million won. If I use the concept of a day very liberally, I received another large bundle after midnight the previous night. So technically I guess I made 4.4 million won in a 26-hour period. |

| 2 grand in one of those step tourneys on a poker site. Hopefully I can top that tomorrow night as I have an entry into the 300k tourney. Unlikely since I suck at multi table tourneys. |

| By the way, counting up 2.8 million won by hand is a tedious (but enjoyable) process. |
