What did YOU win?

[PatriciaH]

$500 on a $5 scratch off and $400 on a $2 scratch off recently. I only get them once in a while so that was nice! I also won a summer contest from the liquor store for 2 Hendricks Gin Adirondack chairs, a Hendricks umbrella, a Sailor Jerry rum metal cooler and grill tools. It was a really nice set and my husband likes Hendrick's Gin-LOL.

I always enter lots of contest
So far the biggest things I have won are:
$100 from It Pays To Eat Pasta national contest
$100 Rite Aid gift card from a National Contest
$!00 Family Dollar Gift Card from a National Contest

So far this year I have won books, dvds (including 3 disney ones) and some food products and heath and beauty products.

The last time I entered a drawing I was about 11 years old- said I was 25. My mom got a call saying I won a free gym membership- she told them my age.

I don't think I have ever bought a scratch ticket, lottery or the like. I have entered a few raffles for charity. I did enter to win free cowboy boots.

That is the extent of my winning ability.

I would like to hear more about how others are winning things though. I don't gamble, but entering a drawing sounds fun.

The only thing that I ever seem to win are "free vacations". You know, the ones with the small print that includes a timeshare sales pitch or a "fee" for processing. Last year I won overseas lotteries a few times. Seriously, I won a tv from the work United Way raffle once. That is about it.

So just curious to see how many lucky people are out there. My mother constantly enters drawings and has won a plethora of items including a few big "national" contests. The best being either the Monster Energy dirt bike or the complete line of Scuba Pro gear with lessons and trip to Belize. I am not so lucky, as the only thing I seem to win is Jury summons.

So lets hear it! What have you won?

We won a Monster Energy dirt bike too! My DS was big on the motocross circuit so it was a really cool pit bike to have!

I've won a few raffle baskets but that's it. I entered a bunch of mycokerewards sweepstakes so fingers crossed! I am secretly hoping for the french door fridge though I entered for several different things.

Wouldn't you know it, I just received a jury summons in the mail today!!

In 1992 I won airfare for four anywhere in the continental US from a local contest. Went to Disney of course. The only thing I remember recently was four tickets to see the Cake Boss on tour. I really wanted to see the show, but the tickets were real nosebleed seats, We had a good time but we were glad we did not pay for the show.

 

[scottmel]

I have 3 big wins:

1. $1000 in a raffle with 5,000 tickets!
2. $1500 in a school raffle
3. All expenses trip to Disney with food, tickets, hotel - the works!

Lots of little winsr - book contests, facebook drawing, restaurant giftcards etc. Wins 2 and 3 both happened in 2011 making it my luckiest year ever!

I won 50% off at the GAP for a whole year. I loaded up on stuff for me and my family that year.

 

[amomma23]

In September I won a year supply of DelGrosso sauce at a Penn State football game. I was able to pick any 48 jars of pizza or pasta sauce, salsa, and sloppy joe sauce. Wouldn't you know, they shipped it while we were in WDW! We came home to 4 big boxes stacked by the front door.

 

[Gumbo4x4]

$100 from lotto
$100 from a company drawing

DW wins all kinds of things, including a 2007 Jeep Wrangler (had the option of taking cash, so we took that and put it toward something we wanted).

 

[Gumbo4x4]

I also enter a number of sweepstakes and donation money where prizes are drawn. So far:
my son (4 at the time) won a pedal push car
I won $5,000 from a local radio station (in 1997).
a diamond ring from Lifetime's The Starter Wife a few years ago
and a couple of weeks ago I won an Ipad mini from a local news station.

The kids are always winning t shirts and jerseys.

Congrats! We entered for that iPad mini too

DW's Jeep win was through KSHE and was drawn at Strassenfest.

My mom won $20,000 playing bingo at a local casino. Taxes took about $4,000 but it was still a good chunk of change. The most I ever won was a bushel of booze when I was 10 years old (yay for booze when you're THAT young)... my dad was happy. lol..

We won our county's "cutest pet" contest which gave our dogs tons of treats and other stuff. We also won the best decorated house for Christmas one year.. it was $100 gift certificate to a jeweler. DH got a nice watch.
I've won various tickets for events, books, etc. Nothing ever too great. I'd like a trip to Disney anytime now...

 

[livsmom04]

I have won a Bose II Stereo a few years ago. And I won 2 iPod nanos and an iPod shuffle.

 

[luvmarypoppins]

I would like to hear more about how others are winning things though. I don't gamble, but entering a drawing sounds fun.

I use online-sweepstakes.com and sweepstakesadvantage I think that is it or sweepsadvantage.com to enter. I do a lot of blog contests. I usually dont do too many facebook ones because so many people enter them. I did win a few of them though.

 

[MomofDisneyLoversx3]

I've only won two things---EVER.

2nd row tickets to Trisha Yearwood (radio trivia contest)
A basket full of cat supplies at a charity auction. We didn't have a cat at the time, and I didn't put my name in. Weird

Earphones....a rabbit...another rabbit ...a hair cut

I win a lot but I also enter a lot. Highlights for me are:
* $16,000 from being on Who Wants to be a Millionaire
* $1,000 in visa gift cards and a weekend stay from Hampton Inns
* a 4 night stay at COCoKey in Orlando last month that includes Blue Man Group, Wonderworks, and Boggy Creek Airboat tickets
* A HUGE win last Saturday. I don't have all the paperwork in hand yet so I don't want to announce it but it is a 10 day international trip for my whole family worth $22,000!!!! We are cancelling our October WDW trip to go but we may do a stopover for a few days at Disneyland on the way to out destination.

Good luck and pixie dust to everyone entering!!!!

Bud light port of paradise cruise in Nov. they flew us into Orlando and I was very tempted to go to Disney and skip the cruise. Glad I didn't. We had a blast. Won on Facebook. I also won a 50.00 gift card to a new burrito place on Facebook.
