POLL: Have you ever won anything?

[Murpheeee]

Have you ever won anything?

Sweeps? Lottery? Prize Giveaways?

I once won a stereo cassette deck from a HiFi magazine about 10 years ago.......
My wife won a Compaq computer system costing $1800 at a CompUSA sweeps 2 years ago

So far no luck on lottery

 

[conjur]

Won countless albums/CDs/concert tickets from radio stations.
Once won a CD player and the Top 80 Albums of the 80s (on CD). That ended up being more like 100 CDs and included Clapton's Crossroads set.

Won a raffle my senior year of high school for a brand new ford truck (98), coolest thing that ever happened to me.

 

[nativesunshine]

I've won a couple novels from a book site...
Won 20 dollars in a raffle drawing thing...
Won a couple dollars in lottery

and won two radio prizes...one for a concert and another for a meet & greet type thing. Won both in the same month from two different radio stations. It was so awesome.

Wow that must've been nice! :Q

I've won the usual scratch-off lottery tickets (nothing big! hehe). Won at the casino before, although nothing more than about $60. I also won a computer game, I think the title was "Saturday Night Lives Goes Political" or something similar, at Gamespot before. You had to answer a few questions about a game (there were lots) to be entered in a drawing for a game. Never claimed it though, bah.

I won many things on the radio but the best thing was an autographed Tony Iommi guitar. It's a beaut.

Won an all-inclusive trip to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

When in college, I won an all paid trip to the Bahamas with my girlfriend. Same girlfriend won $500 on a scratch ticket I bought for her as part of her easter basket. I didn't get any of the money.

I won the Athlon 2400+ processor at the AMD event a while back. I was under 18 (thought i could be accompanied by an adult, but guess not) so the bastards wouldn't give it to me.

 

[Mr N8]

Won an Athlon XP 1600 a couple years ago. Still have it in one of my rigs, too. I won a 1/4 barrel of Sprechers beer (Milwaukee, WI brew) last summer from a radio promo.

 

[microAmp]

I was one of the lucky ones to win the LogiTech keyboard/mouse give aways several months back in HD. About the only thing I've ever won.

 

[KokomoGST]

I won one of those Wendy's free Blockbuster rentals for a year things last summer... finally started using it this past January.

I've also won a game from SharkyExtreme and $100 buck survey from ZDNet. I'm prolly forgetting some other small stuffs... I've always believed that it's worth a shot to at least enter contests. You never know.

 

[compudog]

I won a copy of Microsoft's Fury3 game way back during the launch of Internet Explorer 3.0. They ran a contest call the "Explore This!" sweepstakes and you got three tickets you could rub off for a chance to win and I won. Never won anything else though.

 

[Oakenfold]

Snowboard by lib tech

 

[Night201]

$1000 from Z-100 (Radio station in NYC)

[KeyserSoze]

i won a mini refrigerator at my high school's project prom (big lock in party after prom) senior year.

 

[OutHouse]

4 years ago i won a adpetec SCSI card from a contest i entered on the adpetec website. I gave it to my friend because the pc i was using all the PCI slots were full and i didnt have the cash for scsi drives and 4 years ago a 4 gigger was boo-koo bucks.

 

[Brutuskend]

I won a 17.5 foot fiberglass canoe @ a company picknick once.
Funny part was a guy I worked with used to go out with the woman I was with. He was hitting on her and cut in line in front of me. I got the ticket he WOULD have gotten and it turned out to be the winner! (he = LOOSER)

I got to keep the woman too!

 

[Heddis]

I won $500 on a lotto ticket a couple of weeks ago.
