Have you ever won anything?

I went to bingo back in the 80s with my grandmother and won 50 bucks.

I won $25 in a church raffle and gave it back.
I don't know if this is so much as a win or paying attention. A few years Ago Universal Studios had a commercial during the Super Bowl, and it said to enter your email address for a Free Universal ticket.
Me and my dh both got a ticket.

My kids won a bike. I entered their names in a drawing.

On Christmas Day this year I won a ticket to the World Massage convention in Vegas for this summer. I’m pretty excited as I was interested in going but the ticket price ($400) was too much money

Why did you leave quickly?

Took the $$ and ran. Plus, the stack of bills was almost unmanageable!

Well, I won $500 on a Mega Millions ticket last week. Now I should quit playing while I'm not ahead. Those big numbers though....

I won my wedding dress.
Bridal magazine competition, custom dress.

Won a free 7 day cruise for two on Royal Caribbean Cruise Line playing bingo.

My kids were with me but not my wife. Technically my 6 year old son won but I snatched the card from his hand and yelled bingo.

My wife didn’t believe we won when we caught up with her at dinner. RCCL didn’t give me anything at the time. I had to pickup the certificate after it was generated the next day.

She didn’t believe me until after dinner when random people started coming up to me offering congratulations.

I won an Easter themed coloring contest as a child. My prize was a huge stuffed bunny, bigger than me!

I won $750 playing Black Jack in Vegas years ago. But I feel I spent that amount and more during the course of the trip.

I won $500 at Bingo 2 nights ago.

I enter a lot of on-line contests, but rarely win. The HGTV dream home sweepstakes is one I enter religiously every year. Some day!

I have won Disneyland tickets through a grocery store on-line contest related to the 50th anniversary. I also won 10K Southwest Rapid Rewards points (maybe worth one one-way flight) through a contest.

I won $250 in a casino on a cruise.

Cash many times... including an $800 drawing for a local baseball team this past summer....

The oddest thing i ever won was free meals at Apple B's for an entire year. My wife signed me and her up and of course i won.
I went to the corporate office and they gave me a sheet of coupons that i could use one per week. So it was really only won 52 free meals at apple b's but i could order any meal on the menu plus i got a desert... needless to say, we did use MOST of those coupons through the course of that single year but have not been back many times since then.

I won just over $500 on quarter slots at Foxwoods between 1996-1999 (DH and I were dating). He was no where to be found and the lady next to me said “I’ll watch your machine while you go look for him.”.....um...I’m not that dumb! I found him after my payout, we stopped gambling and ate dinner.

Post kids I won the jackpot on 2 arcade games/tickets. Ok those went to my kids! But it was 1000 tickets.

DH and I before we married used to go to these fiero car shows. One trip for the raffle I swear we won at least 10 things. Nothing pricey though.

I also won a trip to Barbados for 2-air, hotel, food and drinks. It sponsored by Malibu Rum back in the mid 90s.

I once won 2 tickets to a Milli Vanilli concert after the lip syncing controversy.
Prolly the only one who entered the contest.

Yes, but nothing that great or anything.

• Movie tickets to a movie I didn’t want to see out of a cereal box as a kid.
• Was given a lottery ticket as a party favor at a baby shower and won like $20 bucks off it.
• Won some money betting on horse races, but not much. It wasn’t in the US, and I only remember it was just enough to cover the cab and food that night, so maybe $20 to $40 bucks US. Not sure it was even that much.
• Won some art contests when I was a kid. Nothing huge, bigger than local school, but nothing anyone really cares about.
• As a kid they use to pick child representatives at the Houston rodeo to cheer for a pig. If your pig won the race, you both got a pack of Oreos. My pig won! I was so happy! The pig races were one of my favorite parts of going to the rodeo. Probably happiest I ever was to have won something.

I've never won anything but my dad won $100,000 in Vegas on a slot machine.

 

[PollyannaMom]

I won a $1000 drawing once!

I've also won charity basket raffles a few times - the kind where you get little tickets and put them in different bags next to donated prizes, a few small amounts on lottery or scratch-off tickets, and some free food items on the McDonald's game pieces.

When I was younger I won a limo ride and some concert tickets.

Most recently I won a trip for 2 on the Steelers Cruise on Royal Caribbean. I won it through a texting contest. It was a fun trip.

$100 from Lotto, and $100 in a company safety drawing. My 4wd club used to have a monthly $25 drawing. There were usually about 30 of us in attendance. I won 7 times one year.

DW used to win all kinds of things - biggest being a choice of a new Jeep Wrangler or $20,000 (we took the cash) in a radio contest.

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

I just won a crossword contest.

 

[mickeyboat]

I have won lots of things - the biggest of which was a country music cruise. It was a blast!

I had to share! I just won Hamilton tickets for Chicago! Going tomorrow night!
