Have You Ever Won Huge Prize Sweepstakes? Ex. Lottery, Pop Can Prize

What's the best thing you have ever won from a sweetstakes?

I won a cd from a drawing for my senior party. Just wondering if anyone actually won like one of those huge things like McDonald's 1 million Monopoloy etc.

I won an I-tune once.

Im convinced Im +EV with scratchers tickets, and pull-tabs at school picnics. When I was 14, I bought a pull tab at a school picnic and won the big one...500$, which I used as my bookie bankroll throughout HS, and ended up 14,500$ richer when I was out. Biggest scratchers was 2500$, but I win at least a ticket EVERY TIME. HHAAH, or at least my selective memory leads me to belive so.

I won a 50 dollar savings bond in a drawing from all the 4th graders in Virginia. I think only 1 was given away.

I won $500 for filling out a survey on espn.com. It was for shampoo, iirc, and took like 15 minutes. Looks like people do actually win those.

What kind of micheal jackson bakery did you go to, that would give japanese wine to a kid?

[STLantny]

OH YA!!!!! I totally forgot, I JUST won 2 days and 3 nights and 2 show tickets in vegas, I was the 11th radio caller on 97.1 FM TALK>>>>>>>>>>> Staying at the place where the Cirque de Soleil is, I dont remember the name, I get my packet in the mail in a few days.

I won Medal of Honor from Alienware for entering a contest at their webste.

when i was 12 i won a 1955 (i think?) tommy john rookie card at a card show.

I think he meant cake. Getting a sake a month from a bakery would be quite amusing though.

I won master chief figurine (about 10" tall) in a free drawing at the big seattle center halo 2 launch party.

I won a Yakima roof rack system for my car from a ski shop, it was a rigged contest though. I got the manager a discount on all this stuff he wanted from the electronics store I worked at in undergrad., his favor back to me was to declare me the winner of the giveaway.

I also won a key into one of those car giveaways were you try your key if it starts you win it. It was 150 people and I was number 74 to go, the guy who went 69th drew a key and won. I got some consolation gifts, buncha crap.

5 years old, won my first gameboy/tetris in a raffle. Man that thing was awesome

[kerssens]

That just reminded me that when I was 5 years old I was either the 300th or 3000th person through the gates of Disneyland one day and one a Mickey and Minnie Mouse that was as big as I was.
