Winnings... ever win anything?

[Horse_Head]

Have you ever won a contest, drawing, raffle, lottery, or prize of any kind? If so, this is the place to talk about it, rub it in, or whatever...

I'll go first...

I just won in the 7-11 Simpsons "You can get Animated" Spin to Win game... not the Grand Prize, but a very cool (and valuable) prize nontheless...

The Complete Simpsons 10 Season DVD set!! See attached pics for proof :P :w00t:

A $440 value... I am soooo stoked! :)

[Darth Massacrus]

yeah, I may have already won 2 million dollars from Publishers Clearinghouse!


anyways, I DO seem to win quite often on cheap lotto scratch-off tickets. Rarely more than a few dollars, but always a profit.

That and ebay auctions seem to be all that I win normally...

[Blizzard]

Way cools, Horsey!!

I haven't won anything big that I can remember. The last thing I won was worth a fortune to me, though. I entered a contest on MySpace to win a t-shirt from someone I adore... and won. (I won outright, but he still said I won by default because I was Blizzard!)

It was a CC Banana t-shirt and I saw my banana buddy quite a bit at C4, where I wore my prize and did the banana fangirl thing!

AJ is a great guy! If you have no idea who he is go watch T-bone's fan films, part 2 and 3.

[bruciarsi]

won a science fair back in the day cant remember what i got for that. won a holiday as a kid doing a treasure hunt.

[JackBauer24]

I've won a couple hundred bucks at the casino...

[Jedi Master Harrison]

I once won a goldfish at a school fair - he lived over 10 years, during which time my brother had about 500 different fish, which all kept dying!

I also won a really cool patchwork dog when I was a kid, I still have him somewhere now. :)

Generally though, I am not a very lucky person and so that is about the great extent of my winnings.

Nice going Horse! :)

[Miasmo]

I won $100 at 'Project Graduation' in high school.

Also won a box of Topps Star Wars Finest cards. It was one of the prizes for a trivia contest that was in one of the early Star Wars Galaxy magazines. That must've been around 1997.

[empire21]

I kick all sorts of ass when it's Roll up the Rim to win time a Tim Hortons. Claiming my free coffee on my way to work is simply the greatest for me. :like:

[leiaorgana]

1 or 2 times I won at the slot machines, not more than 14 euros though.

[Saranac]

hmmm i always play the lottery yet never win, so maybe this will change my luck. On second thought maybe i should play some 7-11 spin and win....a simpsons dvd would be saweet

[Obidobi]

The only price I've ever won in my life was my true love and my kids...! I'm a happy man because of that...!! I never win in lottery or stuff like that...

[Javen]

Some friends and I who play powerball have won $500.00. Not bad, but it wasn't the jackpot!

I also won two airline tickets once when I was 16. They had these scratch off tickets when you filled up with gas and I won second prize, which were two airline tickets to anywhere in the U.S. My mom and I went to New Mexico to visit my aunt and uncle.

First prize was an overseas tour.

[Horse_Head]

Back in '90-'91 I won a trip for 2 to Cabo San Lucas - round trip Airfare, 5 nights hotel, and tickets to see 4 nights of bands at Cabo Wabo Cantina (Sammy Hagar, Van Halen club) ... that was pretty damn cool

[Horse_Head]

Tossing things into a crowd doesn't count :P

[JackBauer24]

Yeah! It only counts if it's from a T-shirt cannon and you caught it after it knocked the woman in the row behind you off the top of the bleachers.

[Camishere]

Hahaha Like In The Simpsons...:rofl:

[Horse_Head]

Exactly...

[Horse_Head]

[sharyntyre]

I won tickets to the AC/DC concert in Dallas...Razor's Edge tour. I was calling to request 'big ten inch' and they started playing ac/dc right as the phone started ringing. First caller, not very good seats, but free and my GF loved the show.

[JediKeri]

Lol, I watched one time as someone was nearly knocked out of the balcony. It was quite funny. He still caught it after it hit him in the head too.:rofl:

[Sluggo]

I once played the nickel slots at Vegas. I started with 15 cents, won enough to buy a Coke and called it quits. A very successful gambling career if I say so myself.

[Kommandant Felix]

I win a lot of things...including a ton of tournaments here. Although I never win when I gamble with money (indeed anything that costs money I usually don't win), but whenever I take gambles, I usually end up lucky. I don't gamble with money, I gamble with life. I take chances on many different things, and I usually can read people pretty well, so it sometimes appears as if I have psychic powers.

I went to Vegas with my nephew for his 21st birthday and won $800 on a slot machine after putting about $25 in...


And I scored this stuff last night (I already had the hat, but got the autograph on it last night)...

[Master Magnus]

Well, does a huge box with Kexchoklad (a classic Swedish snack, wafer covered in milk chocolate) at a fair count? :P

No, with my bad luck, I stay away, far away, from gambling... Except for the occasional lotto...

[Ripley]

Won ten dollars from a Sprite bottle cap circa eight to ten years ago.

[Horse_Head]

Tonight was the Guitar Center in West Los Angeles' Grand Opening...
