I won a book on .NET My Services. It is a specification book based on beta code.

It just takes room in my shelf and I never looked at it after glancing over a bunch of code for 2 minutes.

I won a frozen turkey at the mall once, which was especially odd because I never entered any contest. :confused: They announced my name over the PA system and I picked up my "prize" at the CS desk. Weird.

I won a laptop at my high school graduation party a few years back. It was a pretty nice one at the time too, K6-2 333MHz, 13.3" screen, 4.3gig HD, 32megs of ram, etc.....The drawing was held that last hour of the graduation party and it was like 5am in the morning. I was half asleep and they called my name on the PA system. It was sort of a weird morning, I was happy, but I was falling asleep driving home. :p

When I was 26 years old, I walked by a slot machine and won a new Corvette, just by dropping 3 quarters in and pulling the handle. We went to our room, celebrated, then slept. The next day, I hit a $15,000 jackpot on another machine, within seconds of beginning playing. It was unreal. I told my wife, let's get the hell out of here. We flew to Hawaii for another 6 days of fun. :)

Two different drawings last year.

First drawing each ticket was $5 each, I bought 20, so $100

I ended up winning a $10 t-shirt

4 months later, another drawing, each ticket was $1, I bought 20, so $20

I won a computer, Athlon 1.2Ghz, 256MB RAM GeForce2 GTS, etc this was last July.
