I won $2000 Target voucher many years ago from a Sudden Infant Death Syndrome contest. I always buy their fundraising stuff...my sister died from SIDS, and this time I got lucky.
I won a Ms Green M&M's tshirt.
Recently, I won a Chang (Thai beer) cooler case, and though I really liked it, I gave it to a friend who I thought needed it more than me. The very next day I got notified I had one another one in the second chance draw.Leave a comment:

I won 2nd place in a national GI JOE contest. They sent me a congratulation letter and a small Cobra bunker playset. Funny thing is I never remembered entering the contest.Leave a comment:

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.

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 ).Leave a comment:
