Have you ever won anything?

My brother just got in a check for $8900 that he won from Marlboro, and I started thinking about what I've won in my life. It's basically been nothing, because all I ever remember winning was $5 in elementary school for a perfect attendance drawing (which I won 2 or 3 times as a matter of fact).

So, what have you won in your life that's worth bragging about?
 
Grand prize to a circus and a few action figures from Fox 59 I believe. It was when a P1 90mhz was the top of the line and a 14.4k modem was blazing fast 😛

The entries were online and practically no one had computers, let alone internet access. I think this was 12 years ago or so, I was in kindergarden. I used to be drawn for every contest I'd enter in, the lady who called started asking if we won anything in the past 6 months from them 😛
 
I won a Microsoft Sidewinder Voice as part of a sweepstakes a few years ago. It's been sitting unopened in my closet ever since.

He actually won a trip to Marlboro racing school in Miami, but when he sent in the paperwork, they deemed him to big of a man (350+ lbs is my guess) to fit in any of the cars, so they opted to give him the cash value, which was $8900.
 
I won $103 off a radio show, plus 2 tickets to see Eddie Money and 2 buffets at a casino. I was so lucky, just happened to be listening to the station over the internet at work. I only had 45 minutes left to call and claim the prize. And, yes, I like Eddie Money, enough to see him for free at the very least.
 
I won a 2200+ XP Processor at an AMD event.

I won some software at the Compusa XP Launch and then I ran over to Computer CIty and WON some more.
 
I won a Fender compressor pedal (worth maybe $75) at the grand opening of a music store when I was in high school, and an nVidia hat in some online contest.
