What have you won?

[amc80]

So, my company makes a certain brand of slot machines. All week they've been doing a daily trivia question, and if you get it right you are entered to win a trip to Vegas (flights, hotel) to attending a taping of the show that corresponds to the brand. I just found out I won! There were over 1,000 entries...I'm so excited!

Of course, it's the same day as my son's first birthday party, but they are letting me pick a different weekend. It's awesome because DH and I were planning a Vegas trip and now we can fly instead of drive...score!

The only other big thing I've won was $2k on a video poker machine on a cruise (ironically, I now work for the company that made that machine). I win little stuff quite often but never anything big.

What have you won?

Congrats AMC!!!!

I once won tickets to an acrobatic horse back riding show. SO and I really enjoyed it! Recently I won a subscription to the Women's Professional Rodeo association Magazine. Those are my claims to fame. Nothing special.

I won earrings from DA at the Las Vegas GTG and I have won a few other little trinkets at military functions. Nothing that exciting.

That is awesome about your trip!! Woo hoo for flying and I'm so glad they let you reschedule!!! Enjoy your time there!

I wanna hang around with you, AMC, maybe it'll rub off.

I've won nada, zip, null, zilch, in my entire life. Oh forgot, $2 once in a while on scratch-off lottery tickets. Whoop de doo.

In 3rd grade I won a cassette player in a "drawing". My 3rd-grade brain thought I won a "drawing contest". For weeks I bragged about what a great artist I was that I won a contest until my mom gently explained to me the difference

At the first PS GTG in LV, I won a lovely ACA diamond from Whiteflash.
It graces my MIL's throat.

Thank you WF, and Andrey.

After we moved from my hometown to this current city, I found a radio station that I really loved. They had a regular morning contest and I would play it DAILY (read: OBSESSIVELY!) --- and in total goods & services over several years, I probably won about $12K worth of items!!

Computers, CDs/DVDs, weekend trips, movie passes, BBQ, restaurant vouchers, season golf pass... I can't even remember the things I've won... but the best 2 were diamonds items. A YG bezel set tennis bracelet and a .25 YG solitaire pendant. Neither are stunning pieces, but hey - free diamonds!

According to the phone call I just received from "sam," I've won a free $1,200 home wireless security system from SBS... or something.

I'd tell you more about it, but I hung up on the poor guy.

I won $200 at a Kentucky Derby party earlier this year.

I won a 3 stone diamond ring out of a slot machine for $5.00 in Las Vegas many years ago. Here's a thread on that ring - https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/my-las-vegas-win.56084/

I won $100 off a photography package, a few other small things here and there.

In high school I won 7 CDs in a radio contest and a bunch of tickets to an under 21 club from another station. Another friend won Milli Vanilli concert tickets and she took me so I benefited from that win!

I've won a lot of things over the years, but it's been a while since I have won anything.

I have won tons of concert tickets. I also won a car stereo system AND a ski trip to Banff from two different drawings at the same ski show! I also won a ski trip to Whistler about a year or so later. Since then, I've been dry!

In high school I won a signed Rolling Stones album, the one with the giant tongue on the front. I never liked them so I gave it to my
nephew, who was a couple years older than me.

 

[Begonia]

Sweet.

Bugger.

All.

I gotta take lessons from you Enerchi! (little hug there, how ya been?)

 

[manderz]

I haven't really won much worth mentioning, but the hubs won a contest at a fast food joint, and won what was at the time about a full year's salary. Was amazing, and got us into our own house much sooner than we anticipated.

I won a $1000 voucher from PS past year (thank you, Andrey!). That's the coolest thing I've ever won.

Other than that, I won a $150 gift voucher on the radio once (it seems no one else in Australia knows what the Dow Jones is).

A Beanie Baby when I was about 12.

I've bought lottery scratch tickets in Georgia twice (my brother lives near the state border), and won both times. About $50, I think. We'll be visiting for Christmas - already planning on winning another $50 for a nice bottle of holiday wine.
