Contests!
« on: May 02, 2017, 09:37:54 am »
Have you ever won a contest or a drawing ? I once won a fishing boat in a contest and it was so strange, from the minute I saw it something told me I was going to win that drawing! I kept calling it my boat and everyone of my friends laughed, And I was at the drawing ... wow was it cool! I have also won money on foot ball boards because my numbers came up for the ending score. And I have won some very exciting jackpots at Casinos , I used to be very lucky and now I'm not  go figure, they say luck runs out, mine sure did.

Wow, a fishing boat!  I wouldn't know what to do if I win something big like that!

The only time I won anything was a raffle in fifth grade health class. I won a stick of deodorant. It was the worst day of my life  ;D

I win contests all the time (I'm forever getting e-mails & even snail-mail stating "You Are A Winner!") to contests I've never entered.....

It's actually getting the "winnings" that is a problem.  Free cruise, time-share, key to a car (which might or might not work...and probably won't).....all that kind of junk.

Otherwise, no.   lol

Years ago I won a cruise but money was tight and I traded it for the cash value lol
My boyfriend won a Hunter rifle in a raffle about two weeks ago. It's valued at about $800. He was so excited.

I just won a gift card at work.  4 of us in my store did actually.  It's an incentive the company issued to help one another.  We give each other cards that company provides.  We describe what the other person did to make a positive work/shopping experience.  They are handed into management and at the end of the month a card is drawn and we're given gift cards that we can use for company stuff.  I just got myself a travel coffee mug and a lined cooler.

Yes, I have won quite a bit of things.  I enter sweepstakes all the time.  My biggest win was an all-expense paid trip to anywhere I wanted to go in the US.  We spent two glorious weeks in paradise on the Big Island of Hawaii.  I just recently won $1000 airline and a $1000 American Express gift card.  I used them to pay for a trip to Vegas when I chaperoned my niece's ball team playing in a tournament in Vegas.
Have a wonderful day!

I won a art contest when I was seven years old, and I won a couple of raffles.
