Anyone ever win anything big??

[txteach]

I have won very few things. Here is my lifetime winnings.

8th grade, I won a raffle and got a 6 foot Snoopy. just what i needed for the bedroom.

In college I went to the WAC (Western Atlantic Conference) for the football championship against BYU (damn I hate that school) in Las Vegas in 1996 and played a lot of black Jack. I started with $100 and ended with $14,000. We lost the game but I was happy to leave.


About 10 years ago I bought a $5 lottery ticket and won $500. I almost pooped.

I won the custom travelor on the boards about 2 years ago.

That;s the extent of things I have won in my life. anyone else have more luck?

Only thing I ever Won ,... that I thought was big,.. was a 45 Minute Lap Dance that I only paid 10 bucks for .... She was into me.

I won a carrot cake at the local church raffle a few years ago.

That was about the biggest luck I ever had to date

I won the annual Laney College book cover art twice...first time in school's history...I'm very proud of that accomplishment.

I once won $100 from a one dollar Lotto scratch off ticket.

I won employee of the month three times at my former job.

I went to Reno and play craps with only $40 of gambling money in my pocket...and left the table with $750...that was cool as heck (and I'm not really a gambler).

In Mexico as a kid...I was at a carnival...and played this dart game...it was only a peso...and won a tray of a bottle of Bacardi with four glasses...lol...yes...kids in Mexico were allowed to win stuff like that back then...lol.

I won 20 rock vinyl albums from a local San Francisco radio station about 20 years ago...I was on hold...and my call was picked...I was so stoked.

Mmm...I think that's about it.

I started out strong by winning the gift of life. Then almost nothing for the past 34 years. In fifth grade I won a Smoke detector in a raffle sponsered by local firefighters, and I won a fifty-fifty draw at a local theater a few months back, my haul being $40.
Winning Mitch's Wednsday Morning Triva is a pretty good feeling though, and I like the cards much more than a stupid smoke detector even if they can't save my life.

Money-wise, never.

I was Sailor of the Year for my Command when I was stationed in Japan. That was a big honor for me. I don't think I could assign a dollar amount to the joy I felt in having that recognition.

First time In Laughlin and put three quarters in a slot machine when my wife was checking into out room and I hit $1500. Needless to say I didnt come back down from the room. Cashed out and basically used the $20 motel for a good nights sleep before the long drive to Pheonix. Also bought two tickets to a judo match raffle my son attends yearly last year and won a $500 savings bond. Wanted the wii but won the top prize of the savings bond. Dont gamble much but glad for the good luck when I do. My favorite win was a win I had on ebay where I was going after a mego parts lot that had a set of speedy and aqualad boots among other things that were in the parts listed in the lot. Won it for $45 and when I recieved the package the lady gave me a zip lock bag with a note telling me thanks for winning the auction and that she threw in some xtras because she didnt know what to do with them. They were a conan sword, a thor hammer, a green arrow bow and a conan scabbard.

I won $500 from a radio staion in Portland ... and the day I picked up my prize Jennifer Love Hewitt was doing some kind of promo so I got to meet her and get an autograph on top of the $500

I went in with $25 at a casino and came out with $300

I won a raffle at the local safeway and won all their Star Wars EP III display items ... Yoda air mattres, R2 cooler, and 6 cardboard stand ups.

I won a Star Wars EP I backpack from lays potato chips

that's about it ... I guess I have won small amounts of cash from scratch offs like $10 and $15

[Captain]

...Come to think about......I have never won anything.

[Hector]

Yes...you won our friendship!

[jwyblejr]

Let's see.......I've won $100 twice at a casino. I've won $50 on scratch offs. I won $50 from an on-line retailer. And I won a first print Superman card here. That's about it.

550 bucks on a NY lotto ticket, one frickin # off from winning 100,000!!!!

Las Vegas slot machine 1994- 800 bucks on the first pull, put in 3 bucks to win 800!!!

Won a free Mike Tyson Pay Per View worth i guess 50 bucks? Radio contest, had to answer 5 Tyson Career questions! Aced them and shocked them when i said i train with Mike! At first they were like, ah, well thats not fair. I said ok when will i receive my free pay per view! They paid for it! LOL

Nothing else exciting!! Maybe in time!!

[Hector]

Oh...I forgot...I also won $125 on a 25 cent slot machine...and as soon as I won...I stopped and quit.

I won a four foot stuffed rabbit from a movie theatre one Easter for my rainman-like jellybean counting ability.

I went to an employee xmas party thing with a girlfriend of mine once. I've never been a gambler so I asked the dealer to explain how 21 worked when I sat down - after establishing I was serious he was kind enough to do so and I was $550 imaginary dollars up after everyone else at the table bombed out. Since I didn't work with her she thought it would be rude to cash in (a blender and a bottle of wine I think?) so we just left with the free hors d'oeuvres we'd eaten.

I won a cool LEGO set in a contest.

OH and I won a lifesize Ep1 Watto from Pepsi ... It was an entry form by mail thing, done in a retirement heavy supermarket, so I may have been the only one that entered.
