Best contest/prize you've won?
Permalink Closed

Just wondering if there were some lucky ladies out there who have won something snazzy.

The best thing I've ever won was 4 tickets to go see STOMP. I won through a local news station.

I don't think I've ever won any sweepstakes type things. But my husband won a car at our high school graduation night. It was a 1992 Dodge, but he sold it for $6k

I won $20 for participating in a psych survey last month. That's all I can think of.

I think the best thing I ever won was from a local radio station - I won front row tickets to see Bob Dylan & Paul Simon.  I know I've won other concert tix too.  Other than that, nothing comes to mind.

I won front row tix to see The Who at The Gorge (amazing venue to see a concert).  I also won a pair of Manolos from Bluefly.  Both of those were pretty fantastic wins.

The only thing I've one is this Maybelline makeup thing.  I don't even remember entering the contest but I got really pretty eyeshadow trio, some ugly beige lipstick, and this truly heinous wine colored feather boa .

$1400 from an online casino.  All I put in was $20, and I have never spent another dime on onlline casino playing since.  I want to keep ahead!


Other times were $400 and $60 from those $10 free casino money that you can play with online.

I won a Lucky Break from alltherage.com & i got a whole pile of jewelry! I don't know the value becuase i had thrown away the magazine (from May 2005 in case anyone wants to check it out for me!)

I've also won a Wonderbra, which was great
and a $50 GC to a jewelry website (junkyjewelry.com)

i have literally never won anything, EXCEPT for when i was 8 years old and won a trip to hawaii.  i filled out literally every card on the pad for some sweepstakes at the dry cleaners while i was waiting for my mom.  it must have been 25-30 of them.  i don't think my mom even noticed what i was doing, and i forgot all about it. 


a few weeks later, my mom gets a phone call from whatever the sweepstakes co. was asking "is so-and-so really only 8 years old? or did she mean to write 18?".  my mom didn't know what they were talking about so she said "no, she's only 8, what is this about please?".  they told her that i was ineligible for the prize i had won because i was only 8, and they wouldn't let my mom have the prize b/c she didn't technically "win" it.  boo!


so i think i used up all my prize-winning karma at an early age.

I bought one scratch ticket on my birthday a couple of years ago and won $40 on it. I think that is the only thing I have ever won!

When my husband was stationed in Norfolk, we took a trip up to Delaware.  Well, we entered this contest at the mall there, for a PT Cruiser.  We had no phone at the townhouse that we were living in so he put his mom's California number and address on the card.  Come to find out that about a month later, my MIL gets a call from a Delaware radio station at like 4:30 in the morining (7:30 morning radio show) and hangs up on them!  She said that we hadn't told her about any contest and that they just sounded too damn cheery for being 4:30am.


We swear, it had to have been about the PT Cruiser!  That was the only thing we had entered It just wasn't meant to be, I guess.

I won a Barbie dream house when I was about 8. And since then I have been in a contest winning slump.

I won Student of the Month in sixth grade a lot... each time I won I got a stuffed bear and free breakfast at some restaurant that closed down a few years later. I also stacked up quite a few Art Achievement certificates in my younger years. Once I won a trophy for a pollution prevention poster contest. I got my artwork featured in our local "art musem" when I was in first grade.


I've seriously never won anything before. When I turned 18 my mom, sister, aunt, and cousin took me to a casino to play Bingo (I'm stil not old enough to gamble ) and I almost won a car... ONE STINKING NUMBER AWAY and it was the next number to pop up. Argh! My sister won $700 that night. I'm convinced that it should have been me. She took the bingo cards that the lady was trying to hand to me.


I guess it just means that I'm due to win something soon. Maybe I'll play the lottery tonight...
