I have never won a damn thing in my entire life.


I also don't enter contests but if I did I still would not win.

Well no wonder you have never won anything, you have to enter in the first place!  You gotta have a positive attitude about it, like I'm going to win this, I have just as good a chance as anybody else!  Giveaways from magazines are the easiest to win, since I think hardly anybody ever enters those, plus they don't cost anything but a little time.  Try it, you'll win something!

I've won: a Diane Medak cami and thong from lucky  


I won the same thing.  The straps on the cami are itchy though and the thong is just kind of eh.


I also won a bag of candy pumpkins around Halloween when I was in third grade because I guessed the right number of candies in the jar.

I've won quite a few things.  What I remember at this time, are a trip to the carribean about 8 years ago, a VCR at my high school graduation almost 15 years ago, a 3 foot tall Tootsie-Roll bank at a costume contest when I was 5 or so, and a mini Indy race-car (a go-cart type thing) that I won in Jr. High.  I sold it for $700 and my parents made me share the money (60-40% split) with my sister.  I was pissed.

I have won two big prizes in my life.  In college I won a airfare and hotel in Disneyworld along with $300 and tickets to the parks.  That was fun because I was so poor at the time! 


2 years ago, two days after I returned home from the hospital after giving birth to my youngest son, I received a call from Rockport shoes telling me I had won 2nd prize in a sweepstakes (I was waiting to pay for something at Lazarus and put my name in the sweepstakes box 3 times while I was waiting).  They told me I had won a Piaggio scooter (I had no idea what a Piaggio scooter even was-I thought it was like a $100 Razor scooter).  Come to find out it was worth $2300 and was just like a Vespa!  I cracked up trying to picture myself (five days postpartum) riding on this scooter-I live in Ohio and have never ever seen anyone riding this kind of scooter.  The woman from Rockport ended up offerring to just give me cash when she found out I had three kids-I ended up getting $2300 in cash when it was all said and done!

I won an art contest when I was 14 or 15 and got a tent. Oh yes, and a Vixen record in a magazine sweepstake. Anyone remember Vixen?

I can't recall ever winning anything but my Dad won a fab trip to the US Open one year and took my hubby.

I won 10 free burritos from Chipotle. Woo Hoo! I shared them with my coworkers.

Also, I once won the door prize at a bar - a cd by a hip hop group I have never heard of...I never even listened to it, so I don't know if they are any good. My sister won a giant novelty comb at the same bar. I sort of wished I'd won that one instead.

Well.. I won a DVD player and a cruise to the Bahamas (both this year) from my work.


DH always wins those guessing games, "how many pieces of candy in the jar".. I think he's won every one he's ever entered.

I won $10 in a coloring contest when I was five.

And then I won a flashlight emergency kit thing at my husband's employer's Christmas party a few years ago. I dropped it once and it shattered.
