I guess i sort of "won" L10 shims from roguefactor when he forgot to bring them to a pb outting i had... or not... nope i haven't won anything... ever i usually get free stuff by either other peoples mistakes or them not wanting it anymore.

I've won lots of little things but the most fun one that I won was a 5' tall Mushu from Mulan. Thing is still in my basement wearing paintball clothes and holding my mask

In 5th grade i went to the regional science fair, and there's an award that all of the college profesors give, and it's for what they thought was the most scientific of all the projects there, even the highschool kids, and I got the medal for it. :)

Not me, but at a Kansas City tournement a few months ago cody (teammate) won a freaking black magic cocker.

Right as they were about to announce the winner, we were walking the field, and cody is all, "Man Nick, you win everything, and you will prolly win this too." BAM! He wins! It was freaking hilarious/awesome.

Anyways... as for me... I won 12 dollars at some church lockin thing.

I won somehtig like 60 dollars at the horse track last year, but then my dad, who had bought my ticket since im under 18, took my money re beat it then lost. I normally never win anyting. At SEAO during the raffle bout everyone won somethign except me, it was soo depressing. Whe i was litle i won a gigantic stuffed dragon from mc donalds or someting like that.

Urm, I got a $400 subwoofer in a contest... $300 DVD player in a drawing a couple months later (I gave it away actually)... and a TI-92 in a math contest that I used for many years. I think the calculator was the best prize.

I won $50 in a poetry contest a while ago. Apparently I can write very good childrens poems, they probably published it and made millions off of what I got $50 for. Do the schools get paid for forceing students to enter contests or somthing?

$15 on a scratch off lottery ticket
$10 on them a couple times
A bunch of $1-$5 prizes on the scratch off's

Tons of soda and fast food. You know the burger king things where one square wins, the other looses. I managed to call mine and all my friends tonight 8 in all, i'm damn good :) (they were all the bottom square).

I won a tie in kindergarden

Some other little things.
A girlfriend won tickets to some huge basketball thing on a sprite bottle and I think the airfare, hotel and such was all covered and didn't go.

I don't need to win things, I find them in the garbage :)

I won a Replay TV system (worth $500) from a radio station contest. That has been the only thing that I've won that is of a higher value than a 20oz. soda.

I have over the the years won many raffles but the "best" prize had to be when I was out of work and with my last 40p (0.70c) I won a raffle that won a huge stuffed Elephant that I gave to my mum as her birthday present.
I could include Ebay auctions but those aren't really prizes

U know if u get a flashlight and hold it up to the back of those tickets u can look through them and see which one is the winner and which one is the looser.

Have you tried it? I'm pretty sure if that were true gas station owners would be winning the lottery alot more often.

The best thing I ever won....

I was calling in to a radio station to make a request. I had no idea there was any sort of contest going on at all.

When they picked up the phone dude was "Congrads! You are caller so and so , and if you can tell us 5 things that go with chili" Or something stupid like that.I answered the question and won tickets to see the band Live w/ backstage passes.

It just gets better from here though.

They entered me into a grand prize drawing for them to fly you to Hershey PA to see Live at their opening show. Now I am not a big Live fan , but this seemed cool , fun ,and best of all FREE TO ME ! So I was pretty cool with it , I mean after all it was a drawing w/ loads of other entrants.

A couple of days later I get a call from a Guy named Jeff Daniels w/ MCA records. He tells me congrads I had won the grand prize drawing to see Live at their opening show in Hershey Penn.

He then asks me "Martin, are you a big Live fan?"

I say "well no , I mean I like them , but I don't want hair or articles of clothing in a jar..."

He proceeds then to tell me how the logistics of this contests grand prize was not well thought out. In order to get to Hershey required you to land in one place and then have a 4 hour limo drive into town. A town that contained a college and a famous chocolate factory.

Now unless we were insane Live fans , or really into chocolate , this looked like it would be a really boring outing. So instead we were sent to Las Vegas. Stayed in Ceasars Palace, with spending cash. And we also got to keep the tickets to see Live back at home.

Pretty good for a chance phone call , huh?

I won a fishing pole at this bmx/fishing/hunting/a lot of stuff show. It was crappy though. I won best hair in 8th grade and in 9th I tied w/ my best friend at homecoming as freshmen kings (forgot what it was called for freshman.)

But nothing real cool though :(

Not too much

Box seats + backstage passes to a DMB concert

A sweet equipment bag.

Think that's about it. I need to enter more contests obviously!

Or find a good trash picking area like Pyro! :clap: :ninja:
