What's the last thing you won/how often do you win free stuff?

[Hassan Darkside]

I'm curious as to if any of you guys are particularly talented at winning contests, raffles, drawings, etc. I know the phrase "it's better to be lucky than good" applies to a lot of folks, as evidenced by the http://www.operationsports.com/forum...d.php?t=173806 thread. So anybody win anything cool recently? Anybody ever even win the OS twitter contests or anything?

Last thing I won was Fifa 10 from KonsoleKings a few years ago. I don't even know why I entered it because I never play soccer games and ended up selling it as soon as I got it lol.

I have terrible luck when it comes to winning stuff. I remember as a kid spending almost a hour in Belks every time we went to the mall to stuff the raffle box for being a Charlotte Hornets ball boy for a game. Never won.

I guess this is considered a win. I was in a 25 teacher program last fall and was 1 of 8 teachers that received a free 3LCD projector and new laptop.

I have survived a brain tumor, a grapefruit sized blood clot in the brain and run in with a 18 wheeler on I-77 so maybe that balances things out. Definitely better to be lucky/blessed than good to win at life.

I'm from a pretty lucky family, especially my dad. We've always had some luck with scratch offs, $500 dollars a couple times. In 05, my father won a brand new Ford Mustang from a sports radio event. Then two years later, my uncle won two tickets to a practice round of the Masters, he lived in Austin then so he gave it to my father and he took me to it(we lived in ATL at the time) The next week my father won two tickets to the Masters official round for Sunday(this was from the same sports radio station as the car) My other uncle jumped on a flight the next day to go to that, to this day my brother complains he didn't get to go to either. I won a golf bag at a special golf event with my father, it was his birthday so I let him have it. Last thing I won was a special bingo event basket with games and stuff.

I won a free iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts. That's about the extent of my winnings.

I've won a lot of contest at my work. I did have to work for it to qualify but won a nexus cell phone, ipad 3, xbox, bluray player, $500 gas card, NFL jersey and couple thousand bucks total working at godaddy.

I was a drawing away from winning a Fiat or Harley, but I got a minute in the "Money Machine" where you just grab as much money as you can while the money is flying around in an enclosed box. Got almost a grand doing it last time.

Last thing I won was a basketball signed by Larry Brown.

I'm somewhat lucky. I've won a few things but no a whole bunch.

Recently I won the Walking Dead game from a contest in Twitter.

My best win was getting to go on the field at a Cowboy game and meet all the cheerleaders and line up with them when the players ran onto the field. Even got to meet Darren Woodson.


Do you really care where I sent this from?

I won RayBans in a raffle. Before that, all I had won was a kickball at shoe store

A fridge magnet and £5 on the lottery. Check it.

In 8th grade(I believe that's like 6 years ago) I won a poster of Rod Smith eating blackjacks pizza that was signed by Rod Smith.

I don't think I've ever won any "free stuff". I do get free Sheetz drinks/subs for every tenth won I buy, though.

The last time I ever really won anything was back in high school during senior academic awards. My intramural flag football team can't even win anything. We went 0-4 last year and barely even had a close game... I tried intramural soccer once and we lost 7-0, LOL.

The last thing I won was $200 at a crab feast.

The biggest thing I ever won was Britney Spears tickets from a Pepsi bottle cap back in my junior year of high school(2001). Thankfully the rules offered the face value of the tickets. It turned out to be $600.

French fries from McDonald's Monopoly.
$40 on a scratch-off.
A toothbrush for coming in second in a Halloween costume contest. Me and my friend were the Dudley Boys. We lost to two guys dressed as Kiss. Not four. This was on a semi-popular nightclub and their second prize was a π×=°¢¢¢¶&$%-ING TOOTHBRUSH!

I have awful luck with winning stuff.

I think the last thing I won is some sort of chicken wrap thing off one of those Family Feud scratch-offs for Burger King.

I won two $80 dollar jerseys (Kobe and Durant) for just $10 by hitting the most free throws out of 30 at my high school. I hit 27.
