Mvalue just noticed me that I was a winner for their $100 prize. How much did you guys win in the past? Do we have someone around here ever won those $10,000 or $1,000,000 prizes for once?

All I ever got was some free software. A guy I worked with won 10K from IWON.COM like 6 months ago.

I won $10 from bizrate and someone in our town was on that IWON.COM show on tv back in april I think. Unfortunately, in the scene about our town, I realized what a redneck place I live in:(

If you are asking about internet gaming, it's very dangerous. Most of the so called cyber casinos are based off shore and you have about zero recourse in the event they don't pay. The best bet is to avoid them altogether.

I've played the Bizrate scratch-off about a million times and have won ziltch :(
I know a lady who played it ONE time and won $100. :)
There is no justice in this world :(

I'm not greedy. $10,000 is okay for me. Shall I play them full time instead of finding a job in summer? :)

I won $460 in August 1998 playing the &quot;Cosmo's Conundrum&quot; trivia game at Uproar, but then they changed their rules so that you didn't have to win the games to qualify for the money drawings (making it more of a lottery,) and my winnings dropped to $15 in September 1998.

I won two Joe Bob Briggs MonsterVision t-shirts in the MonsterVision caption contest, but TNT only sent me one shirt. I guess Joe Bob needed the other one for Rusty, the Mail Girl. I won an Epson digital camera in a different caption contest, and the month after I won, they changed the prize to a t-shirt. I won second prize in a Clamato humour contest judged by French Stewart, of &quot;3rd Rock from the Sun.&quot; First prize was $10,000. Second prize was (what else?) a t-shirt.

I won 46 movie tickets from Hollywood.com, but by the time they got around to mailing them, the expiration date was only 10 days away. I couldn't go to 46 movies in 10 days. I would have died of an overdose of Milk Duds and LottaLemon.

Oh, and I forgot my slinky I won from 4anything.com. Actually, it turned out to be the nicest slinky I ever saw, it actually walked down the stairs! :D

Wow WW, can I rub you for luck? Oh, wait, that doesn't sound right.... :p
