Have you ever 'won' anything? A drawing, small lottery type ticket or anything which was based on luck and not skill?

I won $100 on a lottery ticket, and a little on the Football Sports Action tickets they used to have; now there are no more Sports Action Toto tickets and it's no fun anymore

I've won some smaller amounts, once a $50, with the Bingo lottery cards. I've never actually purchased a regular lottery card. I've also won a few gift cards in drawings/sweepstakes. Nothing very big though. But who knows? Maybe I will one day.

Never won in a lottery. Do find on ocassion money on the street. In December I found 40 Euros in the bus (almost $50).

I won 8 euros once. I don't really care about that type of gains, I'd much rather have the luck for my resume to be picked for a job or something, LOL.

Oh Oh oh! I was at the bar and I went to use the ATM. Guess whoever used it before me forgot to take all their money out of it cause there was still $120 sitting there!

NO! How cool would that be? Did you ask around or just leave the area really fast???? HAHA!

Yeah like I am going to ask around....if you're too drunk to forget your money I'm sober enough to keep it LOL

Damn straight! It funded quite a few rounds of pornstars which lead to a great night.

Pornstars are shooters...

I won a digital camera once at a company Christmas party. It was one of the door prizes. It was one of the best things. Then I had been doing this thing online with a magazine where everytime I went to the site they asked you to sign up for a 60" plasma tv and DVD player. I didn't win the big tv but I did win a 13" flat screen tv and a Sony DVD player. I was happy with that.

I never won anything before or since. I guess I had a lucky couple years and then no more.

Do you still check out the site incase they have some new sweepstakes?

TKDLady · 02-06-2006, 09:42 PM

No. I figured I had won my piece of the action and didn't feel like doing it anymore. I must have signed up a few hundred times before I won anything the first time. I imagine to win the really big prize I would have had to actually buy something from them as well as sign up a few thousand more times.

I've won a few things now and again but never anything of significance.

Yeah....I tried some online sweepstakes on this freebie site and just about got spammed to death in my email.
