In a sweepstakes, contest, raffle, etc.?

We won a dvd/vhs player at ds company party, and a $50 gift certificate from Wal-mart at the fair. We've also won caps and t-shirt from various contests.

I enter my name alot but haven't won anything on-line or from mail in.

So, what goodies have you won?

I usually win something every 5 years...

I won:

*a radio when I was in grade school--I had one ticket for a whole school of 200 students.

*I won a tv when I was 19, at the place I worked part time.

*I won a radio and cassette player when Francois was 2 weeks old.--one ticket in the box at the pharmacy, where I had bought diapers.

*I won a mountain bike when I had the 3 boys...Daniel was a baby...(only one ticket written out in my grocery store)

*I won a coupon book for restaurants and stores around area a few years ago...

*I won $10 on a lottery ticket my mom bought me one year.

*I won a family pass to see a horse show this summer.

...that's about it so far...:D

Nothing really big.
~This weekend got a door prize of four $5 GC for Ruby Tuesday restaurants.
~Last year won a book at a nursing dinner, that I sold on Amazon for about $45.
~Won $35 on a scratch off lotto ticket when FH and I went to Chatanooga, TN.
That's about it. I enter a few things. I would love to win something cool. My dad won a little boat once.

I won my wedding. I won $1000 on a scratch-off and that's how we paid for our wedding. :D

Back in my pre-children days I used to work in a convenient store and was able to "watch" the scratch-offs... I've won $50 to $400 countless times. There is definitely a system to those tickets... it's not at all random.

As for contests and raffles, I've never won anything.

I won the 4th of July contest here, a Longaberger basket in a lottery raffle (the numbers come in the correct way and you win a certain basket on that day), A CD of Jessica Simpson from the radio station, and two other albums (yes the vinyl kind that they had before cd's) when I was a teenager. I am sure that I have won other things but nothing really large. Even with the lottery, I have never won more than $10.

I won the Recipe Contest here and got a box full of goodies. I'm still using the makeup.:D

I won 2nd place in the online Harley Davidson/Motel 6 Giveaway about 2 years ago. I won an authentic Harley Davidson Motorcyle Jacket. It was valued at over $285.00. I gave it to dh and he thinks it's so cool.:D

I've won a few things here and there but dh and I together have done ok.
He won $800 in a cow patty bingo game one time about 6 yrs. ago. (he said it was the first time he ever enjoyed getting pooped on......:lol: )
We've won probably about $500 in various lotto drawings and scratch offs.
Dh won a cruise in a sales contest. We went on that last January.
I won a set of silverware in a sales contest in high school.
I won dd#2 a $500 scholarship in a drawing just before she went off to college.
That's all I can think of off hand.....I'll add to this as I remember (IF I remember, I'm getting old).
