I went outside to get some coffee from the vending machine just now. I put in my money and put in my selection. The display flashed winner winner winner and gave me my coffee and my money back :)

Many, many years ago I won a TV, and two years ago I won a Bianchi B.U.S.S. single-speed mountain bike. This doesn't include the MS software we "win" around here. ;)

I won my first inkjet printer, an Epson 440, at a Comcast Cable Modem fair type thing, when the cable modem was brand new and no one knew what in the world it was.

I won my Palm V from a contest i didn't even know I was entered in, from one of those tech support sites. I was a beta tester and I guess you get entered into the contest, and I won!

I also won a copy of Windows 2000 Professional from Microsoft when they had that contest before Win2k shipped.

I win stuff all the time :)

I belong to a private Yahoo group who's members take turns searching the web for new contests and sweeps for us all to enter as well as reward programs. I had a really hot year in 2001 in terms of winning both on the web and off, my biggest score from one source was 4k in cash and probably another 1k in gift certificates from the now dead sharedgreetings.com :)

I've won a few hundred dollars playing the lottery but spent more on tickets :eek: BTW, Baffled 4K is a nice little present to receive, I'm envious.

I won a Huffy dirt bike from Burger King when I was ~6 years old. I think I peaked with that to because I haven't won a darn thing since.

The only "real" thing I have won was the AMD contest last year that got me an AMD XP1800 processor, motherboard and HSF. Other than that, I haven't really won anything else.

I've won a dinner for 2 worth $25 on the radio and a whole buncha door prize drawing of completely pointless stuff. Nothing really significant to speak of :(
