Anyone ever win anything big??

I won Kiss tickets twice in six months back in 1996-97. First, I entered and won a drawing in one of the Detroit newspapers for front row seats at the Tiger Stadium reunion tour kickoff. Then the next spring, I won skybox seats from my local newspaper to the Kiss concert near our hometown. For that contest, I had to put on lipstick and put my best pucker prints on the newspaper and send it in. Apparently, I had very sexy lip prints. LOL I also attended a concert at the Palace in Auburn Hills between those two and (this was back when I was still,..well,... young and thin with big, perky boobs) I got pulled down by roadies from the nosebleed section right to the second row.

In 1989 I won backstage passes at a Def Leppard concert by winning the wet t-shirt contest.


,......oh man, have I ever gotten old, fat & boring since then,....sigh.

$4000 on a $1 Deuces Wild slot machine. Far from my only win but it is still my biggest. $4400 total for the night. Also got picked to go on stage at the casino for a game show promo they did and won $500. They pick you randomly as you swipe your comp card entering the casino. My wife got picked a couple of years later for a similar promo and won $50. Noticing a pattern..we gamble a lot. I have won the two things I wanted most in the last two Meet raffles. Two years ago it was the Palitoy Hutch figure and this year it was the FF Superman. Thanks to whoever donated those by the way. I like em a lot. . My most common win was 5 pairs of tickets to see the Romantics back in the 80's. Local radio station sponsored the show and raffled all the tickets. I was working at a local convenience store and spent the overnight shift calling every contest thay had for the week up to it. Won 5 times. Pretty much had all my friends with me at the concert. Winning 5 times was more memorable than the concert though.

I used to play golf and on two occasions i won places in the pro-am at tournaments in the UK. Got to play at The Belfry in the English Open with Sam Torrence who was the Ryder Cup Captain at the time.

Also won lots of golf tournaments but being an amateur there was never any money to be had ( bummer ).

$500 at Keno in Reno. Then I promptly lost it playing Blackjack!

At the age of 71, my dad almost won a gameshow.
He was at $100,000.
He needed to answer one more question. And failed....

My luck is I always have the next number when they draw raffle tickets but I did win a tour jacket drawing once back in 1984 at Record Theatre in Buffalo. I won a Jackson's Victory Tour satin jacket and I think I wore it twice.
