Lottery, sweepstakes, McDonalds Monopoly, that Captain Crunch Cereal thing in the 80s?
 
My parents won a McD contest back in the 80s. It was a trip to Disneyland for the opening of Splash Mountain. I was the one who peeled the ticket from the cup :) Sadly they never took the trip as it was only for two and there was no one to watch my brother and I.
 

I used to win all the time on some local radio station years ago.....nothing huge, but some great prizes.....concert tickets, hotel stays, seasons passes to amusement parks, restaurant gift cards, etc... :)
 
Won $200 on Christmas eve a couple years ago in the lottery. Won an Amazon Echo Show in a raffle a couple weeks ago, I was so excited for this one!!!

Won a full cruise which included the taxes , port fees and the tips. That was exciting. Won a progressive jackpot in lasvegas. Still had to pay the taxes. It paid for the trip and all the golf fees hubby had to pay for the tournament. LOL
 
I used to go to a casino fairly often. In the end, I came out ahead, but never won anything huge. A few hundred dollars a couple nights and a $1300 jackpot with a bf once. I've won radio things a couple of times - a free pizza and a DVD of the series Rookie Blue. DD15 is the lucky one. In the summer, a band I'm in does a baked good raffle and she won at every concert (5 or 6 every summer) for several years. I always ask her to rub my scratch-off tickets and touch my raffle tickets, but it never works. I can't wait to take her to the casino when she turns 21!!
 
I won front row tickets and back stage passes to a Bon Jovi concert. And also a trip to Chicago to see the BeeGees on The Oprah Winfrey show. Both from the same radio station.
 
A couple raffles - ironically enough, even though we're not big drinkers, we've somehow ended up winning two raffles for lots and lots of booze, both at charity functions where we just bought one of whatever raffle ticket they were selling.

The other raffle recently was at our younger son's annual school benefit. The prize was some stupid expensive Gucci purse. My wife has used it once or twice, but it's not really her style.
 
Just last weekend I won a free hotel room for New Year's Eve! DH and I were just gonna stay at home (like usual) so it was fun to be out and about for a change!
 
I won 500.00 in the lottery in the 80's. Never won again. A friend of ours won't a years worth of Entenmann donuts. He was very happy. LOL
 
I won a trip for two to London, England in 1990. Flights, hotel for a week, breakfasts and theatre tickets for three shows. It wasn’t something I entered. It was a draw at work that I didn’t even know about as I was home recovering from surgery. It was fantastic and a nice surprise.
 
I've won 2 TVs-- they were small TV but still. I won tickets to the Backstreet Boys concert.

I won a sketch of Ariel by Stacia Martin on a DVC Member cruise. DD won a sketch of Donald Duck by Ducky Williams on another cruise. We watched while they were both being drawn.
