I would like you to tell us what the most awesome amazing cool things you've ever won are. Could be trophies, lottery stuff, raffle drawings, you get the point. Pictures are more then welcome if you want, or not. Whatever you wanna do.
I'll start by saying the coolest thing i've won is two tickets to Knotts Berry Farm (amusement park in Southern California for those not in the know.) It was the grand prize in some raffle drawing back in middle school. not the most expensive thing ever but damn if that wasn't a fun day.
Anddddddd, GO :-P.

I went to my sister's church once when I was 11. The kids' wing had weekly raffles for fun stuff. Quite the incentive for going to church? Anyway, the one time I went, I won a Game Boy Color set, complete with console, a copy of Pokemon Red and a strategy guide.
-
I won a free trip to the Magic: The Gathering World Championship in 1998 for playin' magic so awesome. I got fucking OWNED in the tournament there though. Pretty good for 13 years old, though.
just recently I won tickets to a basketball game that I didn't care to even show up to the radio station to claim.
It went kinda like this:
So I was driving down the street listening to the radio, and the radio guy says there's going to be some commercials, and goes "and we might as well get this outta the way", and plays a horse whinney. I figured it was probably some kinda contest so I called them up and said, "hey what was that horse shit about?" and he says, "That? That was the uh sound of you winning (teamname) tickets. You're caller X.", and I'm like "huuuuhh..." "yeah." "neat!"
Man, I bet there was SOMEBODY calling up hoping to win those. jokes on him.
-
I won a piece of the berlin wall once. I subsequently lost it.
-
when i was eleven i won a snazzy ol' complete set up (skateboard) from my school's carnival raffle. it was donated by a skateshop sponsor (which means it was totally legit instead of that wal-mart toy skateboard shit) so it was probably worth over a good $100. good prize.
-
I do not think I have ever won a thing.
-
A few years ago I won an electric scooter in a raffle. The ticket cost a buck, the scooter was worth about 500 dollars. Top speed of about 40 mph.
-
A few weeks back, there was a staff party which involved a raffle. I had collected five loose tickets from around the hall and somehow won with all five tickets. Alas, the prizes weren't so great but it was still pretty hilarious to keep going up with less and less applause each time.
I won a cordless screwdriver, a box of chupa chups, a female vanity kit, a salmon and a nice pen which I still use.
i lol'd.
-
I won an award when I graduated from high school for being the most involved and helpful person in my grade. I subsequently spent the money that came with the award on weed. I was a model student, I swear.
-
Err..A "Milk" lunchbag. It had cow print on it. :-(
-
@social bacon: i laughed out loud. (i typed it out because i literally did laugh out loud.)
you guys have won some awesome stuff!
-
but it was still pretty hilarious to keep going up with less and less applause each time.
I've seen this happen; it's funny stuff. My mother once won 3 rifles, a shotgun, a $100 Cabela's gift certificate, a 27 inch screen television and an oak gun case from a Pheasants Forever charity dinner despite buying only 15 tickets. The best part is that she won all those prizes pretty much in a row right at the beginning of the night, so she had first pick of virtually all the good stuff; the only truly valuable thing she didn't get was first pick from the litter of a champion golden retriever (contingent on an interview). The amount of amusement people found from this ebbed and flowed throughout the night, with relative silence by the 3rd item. Still, things quickly turned jovial again once several people we knew started good naturedly yelling out cheap items she should choose. I'll never forget when my uncle got the ball rolling by yelling "Take the cookbook!" as my mom sized up a several hundred dollar Benelli semi-auto.

does it disturb anyone else that someone won guns from a raffle?
a raffle for a charity that conserves pheasant habitat so then you can shoot them?
(i am not trying to get into any debate here, just found it amusing/odd)
-
During a school assembly, the principal was going on about who did the best in whichever subject for last term's exams. I was talking to my friend and ignoring him until he called my name for getting 100% on the Math exam.
I got a medal (That totally defeated the purpose of the joke).
I don't think I've really won anything (I'm not a special boy), but I have a friend who won a $365 Tagan Black Pearl case at nVision in the entry raffle. That's pretty cool.
I'm going to start doing things now.
-
When I was 7 I went to stay at my grandmother's house for a couple days. I entered a colouring contest put on by a grocery store called Knechtels and I won a VHS tape of the movie Camp Nowhere (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109369/) (boo-ya). I think maybe my grandma just bought me the VHS though to make me feel good about myself.
-
i don't remember winning anything recently.
on a similar note, my dad buys a lottery ticket every week and since moving to guelph i've gotten at least five or six phone calls, each of which is about how he's won some big cash prize, and it's kind of really incredible luck but he's always calling just so he can complain and moan about how it's only $5000 again and not the $17 million grand prize or whatever. it's kind of irritating. man, i'll take the free money if you don't want it. whatever.
-
I won two tickets to a Yeasayer show recently but the weather got so bad the night of the show that I was unable to attend. I bet The Onion was pissed.
does it disturb anyone else that someone won guns from a raffle?
No that's dumb you're dumb
how does it feel
-
i entered a drawing for a pair of shoes once. my mom told me to just put her shoe size on the form since i wouldn't win anyway. so i did, because i was 8 and when you are 8 you listen to your mother.
a few weeks later a package arrived addressed to me. it contained a pair of shoes that were far too big for me.
-
Front row seat tickets to Wicked in Chicago? They might have been relatively easy to get though, I'm not sure. Still, pretty nice!

Here is some shit I've "won" for running since high school. My maximum pool of competitors was about nine people. Distance running is not popular for 19-25 year olds, apparently. Small mug was third in age group, plastic thing was third overall, and big mug was second in age group. They are in chronological order. I guess it is kinda cool that I get stuff for running, and I only do races that benefit a cause, so I feel good about that part. Plus I use the mugs for drinking booze, which is only a little ironic because the race is hosted by a brewery and is called the "Beer Run."
-
I won a cricket bat signed by the state team when I was in Primary School. Was at a game and the free program had a little competition on the back, so naturally I grabbed like a million of them. Other than that, nothing.
-
I won mousemats and shit for playing Counter strike, also money and stuff for playing other games and trophies and stuff also from playing video games and teeshirts and stuff but that is about it. Most used is the mousemat as it's a razer mantis control that lives under my mantis speed.
I like winning money though.
-
When I was ten, I came second in a competition where the first price was a trip to Disneyland in Paris. I was supposed to colour a drawing of Pochahontas, but my mom convinced me doing something extra and more creative would pay out, so I drew some animals and plants, cut out elements of the drawing and glued it on cardboard to get some sort of 3D-effect. The reason I came second was because my mom cut out some of the elements for me (understandably, she wouldn't let her ten year old kid use a scalpel). Second prize was a stuffed animal that I still have somewhere.
My mom had won the whole family a trip to the states with a trip to Disneyworld and a Disney Cruise to the Bahamas included a couple of years earlier, so I guess Disneyland in Paris would have been a bummer compared to that anyway.
Edit: There is more! How could I forget this? A few months ago I got a letter in the mail saying that a package was waiting for me at the post office. I had no idea what it could be, because it was neither my birthday nor Christmas, and I hadn't purchased anything off the internet in a while. I went to get my package and opened it, and inside was my Pochahontas drawing and a letter from the lady who had been in charge of the competition where she explained that the company she worked for was moving, and they could bring the drawing with them. She didn't have the heart to throw it away, so she found my address and sendt it back to me instead. The whole thing was very touching, and I still can't believe they kept my drawing for ten whole years.
-
When I was about 8 or 9, I went to a theme park that had it's own zoo. They had one of those competitions on where you write in x many words or less for one thing or the other, and this one was to be a zoo keeper for a day. My mum grabbed me a leaflet, and she made me fill it out and send it off. I can't remember what I wrote, but it must have been pretty good, because a few weeks later, I got a letter back saying i'd won, and to tell them when I could come down to take part.
I got to do some really crappy jobs, like mucking out the horses, but I also got to feed penguins and sea lions and other cool animals like that. When i'd finished, I got to go on the rides too. It was all free! I fed penguins and got to ride on rollercoasters for free!
-
At our graduation ceremony raffle, I won a Blackberry.
-
You got stuff at your graduation ceremony? All I got was a diploma holder (no real diploma, they hold those hostage until you finish the ceremony without nudity or pyrotechnics) and many tears, because the School Superintendent gave me a hug and told me I was one of his favorites in his awesome Chi-town accent.
-
Well, it was a raffle. Other things raffled off were a golf weekend, a spa weekend, more Blackberries, designer lamps etc.
It was one of the fundraising initiatives for the whole ordeal.
Everybody wanted to trade their raffle wins with mine but NO DICE. Blackberry was mine. :mrgreen:
-
I've won two things that stand out; I have insanely good luck, so if there's a random contest or something, I usually find myself with something to show for it.
The first that I remember was a pair of Columbus Destroyer's (Arena Football) tickets for giving the best Irish toast at a St. Patty's Day thing a radio station was doing. The votes were by audience cheers and I had a really noisy friend with me. I ended up not going to the game in favor of playing D&D, I think. (Life: I was doing it wrong).
The second was just a couple of months ago. The wife and I had enrolled in some kind of rewards program with our ban where the bank would track all debit/credit card purchases nationwide and every 500th purchase that happened, the bank would reimburse the purchaser. We got a $100 purchase reimbursed. We went out to dinner at a nice Italian place to celebrate.
-
When I was younger I won a kids competition at a Marine Lab open day, got the entire set of the Blue Planet T.V series. I was pretty stoked.
-
A couple years ago I won a signed box set of both seasons of Sugar Rush, which is badass because I absolutely love that show. I've also been dancing since forever so I have loads of competition trophies and medals and stuff.

(http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk92/_beatingheartsbaby/100_0009.jpg)
This isn't all of them. A lot of competition trophies and shields have to be returned after a year, so you get them engraved and then give them back. Also I can't find the rest of my medals so that's just what I could lay my hands on in 30 seconds.
-
I won one of the first-gen iPod shuffles, which I traded to a girl for some makeouts.
I don't remember where I won it, but I did.
-
I once won a box full of goodies for the first Power Rangers movie. Fuck yeah. I don't actually remember what came in it, apart from a pot with a plastic model of this guy's (http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s84/ozeenight/IvanOoze.jpg) face on the lid, full of purple goo. Best thing ever.
-
My senior prom's After The Prom event had a raffle at the end, and when my ticket was called I made my boyfriend go up and get it because it was around 5am and I was tired. Poor guy got laughed at when the prize was a gift certificate to a manicure place. This was three years ago and I finally spent it on my 12 year old sister for her birthday last week.
When I won my regional spelling bee to qualify for the National, I got a giant dictionary (the thing is like 30 pounds, it is ridiculous) and also an inflatable dictionary person. I don't know how else to describe it. And a free flight to DC!
And I'm pretty sure that's it.
-
I can't remember winning any stuff. However, when we were little my brother and I handed in a wallet we found out the back of our place. Our Dad called the dude up and he came to collect it. Turns out he was the GM/CEO of Mattel for Australia, so gave us a whole bunch of toys as a reward for handing the wallet in. Score!
-
I won tickets to Deerhoof and also TV on the Radio. That is maybe the coolest thing.
Otherwise I won a sweet boombox when I was like, six, a set of shampoo and conditioner with a certificate for a free haircut from a local salon, a quilt at my after prom party (which is hells of ugly), a DVD at a school dance, and a DVD player at an after prom party as well.
I think I won $4 on a lottery ticket once as well...
-
I thought giving away Deerhoof tickets was outlawed by the Geneva Convention. Something about torture.
-
I got a medal at my highschool commencement for being very involved in the arts over my 4 years. It was called the arts medallion. I love it very very much. Excuse my terrible hair, and awkward-looking mother and stepfather.

Also, one Christmas I won two giant teddy bears from Hallmark that had magnets in their noses and if you put them close to eachother, they kiss. They were huge. I wish I had pictures. We had no place to put them so we donated them to the pediatric ward at the local hospital.
-
I once won 8 cakes in a cake walk at my elementary school. Everybody was coming up to me and having me walk for them since I kept winning. I think i lost for everyone that i walked for, and just won all 8 for myself.
The next year I tried the cake walk again but couldn't win so i went to the Bingo room and ended up owning on that for about 3 hours. I had a car load of other peoples used shit by the end of the night. The only thing I can remember was a Jurassic Park sweatshirt.
That's probably the only stuff that I have ever won, unless you count being the Mario Kart champion in my apartment for three straight years in my annually held Mario Kart Championship.
-
I haven't won very much in my life. The best things I guess I have eight or nine medals kicking around, 4 for gold and the rest were an even mix of bronze and silver. Not too bad for a kid that was swimming on a team that was usually 2-5 years older. (I miss swimming.)
And uhh.. I can't think of anything else. I've entered in a few art competitions over the years but I always lose to some significantly less talented kid with a painting of sailboats. god. damnit. No one appreciates weird naked spirit women. Especially not my library(They sent it back!:CCC)
-
I won tickets once to see George Carlin. Typical radio station thing, you have to be the ninth caller or whatever.
One time at church they were having a thing for kids, and everyone had to put their name into a bucket. I got there late and dropped my name into the bucket right before they had the drawing. The guy didn't even mix them up or anything; he just pulled out the one on top, which was mine. I won a camera, so that was pretty cool.
My dad is the winner in our family. When I was ten, he won a piano in some contest. A real live acoustic piano. I still have it and play it.

Dude, is your stepfather Michael McDonald?

Can you post a picture of it? I would really like to see it.

PFFT. He wishes.
-
I've won several bowling trophies and still have one of them.
I also won a couple of mugs for bowling one for a 600 series and another for a 255 game. I still have them.
I went to a conference for my job and won a Compaq iPAQ.
That's pretty much it except for the occasional lottery ticket where I win $2.
-
I just won a $50 gift certificate to the Co-op (our book store) from the Graduate Student Senate for filling out some online survey for them. I will most likely spend it on a nice laser pointer, because that is exactly how lame I am.
The really funny part is that a couple months ago I got in a fight with the GSS president and may have called her a few things I shouldn't have. Luckly, I didn't have to go through her to claim my prize.
-
I've won a couple of high school javelin medals, and our team won the tug of war once. Probably the best medals I've one are my Stone Skimming ones.
-

a raffle for a charity that conserves pheasant habitat so then you can shoot them?
(i am not trying to get into any debate here, just found it amusing/odd)
I've never really found the whole idea odd. Finding a use or placing a value on an animal is pretty much the quickest way to convince people not to completely wipe them out. My stepfather used to hunt pheasants, but that side of my family has also collectively donated around $400,000 worth of quality wetlands to be preserved over the last decade. More harm has been done to pheasants through the creation of farmland, highways and settlements than than pretty much all the hunters on the planet combined. It's just the way it goes.
-
I remembered another one. When I was in grade two my class and the other grade two class got to hang out and carve pumpkins together for Halloween. At my school the classrooms had walls between them that could slide and turn two classrooms into one for activities like this. They were orange. My name was the first one drawn and I got to have my pick of which pumpkin I wanted to take home. I picked a really big elaborate one that had arms attached to it and stuff because the second girl I ever had a crush on (her name was Jennifer) was in the group that made it.
I pretty much immediately regretted my choice because it was too heavy for my little arms to carry home so I ended up rolling it and it got kind of ruined.
-
I never win anything. Honestly, the coolest thing I can remember winning was a black gumball from the gumball machine at Movie Gallery, which gets you a free gallery rental.
-
I won two VIP tickets to Lollapalooza 2006, complete with a stay at a hotel. It was pretty awesome, except it was like 105oF the entire weekend and I got ridiculously drunk Saturday night and had to leave the show early on Sunday 'cause I had a terrible hangover. But I did get to see Arcade Fire up close. I have pictures on imageshack but for some dumb reason it's not letting me log on right now.
-
hey i was there too! my ticket wasn't free though :(
-
I won a minor award for political studies at my old school. I got a book voucher! and a book mark!
-
when i was 7 my school had a contest to make a poster with the theme of saving mother earth or something. i won second prize and i remember i was so proud of myself because usually only the big kids (aka 5th graders) won that shit. i got a cool ribbon but i think i've lost it.
the first time i ever played roulette i won 130EU on the first number i bet on!
the second time i kept betting on either red or black and somehow got it right everytime. it was pretty incredible. i won 100eu total but i don't think i'd ever be able to do that again.
-
When I was about 7 I won a school drawing contest and got 50p and a bag of sweets
What a day that was
-
The only things I've ever won were a ton of school reading events and a shit load of ribbons and trophys from having Show Cattle and Show Pigs.
-
Whoaaaa, being seven years old. I just remembered that in 1st grade (so, 6 yrs actually) I won a French contest and there was this little ceremony where they gave me a ribbon and some bonbons. I haven't studied French since.
-

The bonbons were that bad, eh
-
I switched schools. In retrospect it is pretty unfortunate, what with it being harder to learn languages when you are older, and I seemed to be so good at French when I was young.
-
i don't think i have won anything in my life.
actually, once at summer camp i won the award for Most Cooperative Camper or something like that. basically, i am a pushover and always have been.
-
I bought one of those Instant Lottery tickets one time (scratch off and reveal!) and won 25 dollars. It was some kind of poker game, and I had three Jacks. Three Aces would've been worth $1000, but I guess I'm not very good at poker.
Many years later, I bought another Instant ticket, and won $2. I spent the $2 on two more tickets, one of which scored a Free Ticket. The Free Ticket ended up being another $2 winner. This actually went on for a good ten or fifteen minutes. There were Free Tickets and $2 winners popping up every two or three tickets, which kept things going. The 7-Eleven guy and I were laughing much. I figured eventually I'd either score big or run out of winners. I didn't score big, but it was a reasonably entertaining way to kill fifteen minutes, and it only cost a dollar altogether.
-
I have won all kinds of sad, geeky prizes, and also a small number of more interesting ones.
My collection of dancing trophies and medals is sadly not as large as Gemm's because I only danced for about two years but I have a fair few in a box at my dad's house. I also once won a competition to circle all the fire hazards on a cartoon drawing of a room (I am not kidding) and the prize was a day at the fire station. I was "Chief Officer Harrison" and I got to sit in the fire engine and look at all the cool stuff.
When I was ten I won a prize for aptitude for languages. The prize was being allowed to take German in year eight. I don't think that was the best prize really.
-
I won a life in the western world with a loving family and a promising future.
-
According to Cecil Rhodes I came first in "the lottery of life" and was born British.
Personally, I am inclined to have some agreement to this, not a lot, but enough.
-
I remembered something else!
One time at a superbowl party in high school I won a drawing and got an inflatable football player that was roughly six feet tall! I need to dig that guy out of storage.
-
That sounds sort of terrifying. Are you sure you didn't put that in the bottom of a case/ back of the cupboard for a reason?
-
When I was 9, in my first year at boarding school, I won the dormitory prize for tidiest bed-making - it was a bar of chocolate.
When I was 14, I won £25 (current equivalent, ~$750, I guess) from Pfizer, who gave it to the school to award to the most promising science pupil.
When I was 17, I got the highest mark awarded that year in any class in the Kent Music Festival, for my performance of Grieg's piano piece 'To the Spring'. But another boy got his picture in the paper, not me, because he'd won several classes - boo, chiz!
Since then it's been all downhill, through I did win a free dinner for two in the raffle at my work's Christmas do two years ago.
-
Oh I guess I have won stuff for art. In first grade I won a ribbon for a painting of a horse, and when I was in 10th grade I got an honorable mention for a self portrait. In 12th grade I won, with another self portrait. The teacher liked us to do yearly self portraits because he thought it showed "growth as people and as artists." Blah. Oh well, someone liked them.
(http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p316/darkbluerabbit/DSCN0307.jpg)
This possibly the most immodest photo ever taken of me, and I'm a figure model.
I mainly thought of this because of what Andy was saying about art shows. I have seen a few of her drawings and thought they were really good. Judging art is really subjective, but there are times when I wonder what the judges were thinking. I looked around and saw things my classmates had done that were awesome, next to much less interesting art that received an award. I entered the show every year and the only times I ever won anything was when I did something boring like portraits or paintings of ponies. In high school, a young Thomas Kinkade would be considered awesome.
-
Benelli semi-auto.
you (guys) willing to sell that?
-
Nah, my brother loves that damn thing. Also, Benellis are heavy as shit, for real. I don't really recommend one, even if the damn thing does never jam.
Unless you're hunting pterodactyls. Then the whole reliability thing is probably a bigger deal.

you should always assume pterodactyl hunting will be involved somehow.
-
Oh! I forgot one thing (well, it wasn't won, it was given to me)!! When I graduated from high school one of my co workers gave me a dime bag! That was awesome!
-
I won a 100$ gift card to a really fancy wine shop. I am underage. My dad took it.
:c
-
I am not a person who wins things. And when I do, it is always something small. For example, I won a gift card(s) at an elementary school bingo game. Other than that though, I do not think I have won anything that is like, stupendous.
-
I won Jonas Brothers tickets through a drawing.
Sold that shit for $250.
-
I won $1,000 dollars from the Tobacco company. Death makes a lot of money.
-
I don't know if this really counts as a win but when I was 6 or 7 my mom took me to the Double Dare World Tour and somehow or another we got chosen to go up on stage for one of the games and my mom ended up sitting in the pie pod.
-
Oh, for being a good boy at church, I won a die cast scale model of a '72 (I think) Chevy El Dorado Brougham by Hot Wheelz. Y'know, when they didn't suck.
I like classic cars, so that was cool (I'm too lazy to look for it to check the year).
-
I won a can of coke during a quiz in French class. It was diet.
-
A little off topic, but my german class is currently in a competition where the first price is 40k NOK (almost 5.8K USD or 4.6K EUR) for a school trip to Germany. We are five students and a teacher. If we win that.... best school trip ever.
-
I won a can of coke during a quiz in French class. It was diet.
what a terrible prize
at least it wasn't pepsi
-
I think we once had a game of "guess the closest number and win a free 16oz bottle of coke" in class once. I chose 69 because I was a perverted weirdo (and in many cases, still am to this day). Long story short I won that fuckin' coke.
-
Oh fuck I forgot about art, I got a first in year prize for a still life I did in standard grade. Means I was the best out of 200 other 15 year olds.
I drew a fish. In oil pastels.
-
I only won the shoes, but the shades are added for pure ridiculousness factor.

-
jace. why do you own those sunglasses things. those are horrid.
anyway i just remembered something i won. well, i didn't win it but i got it for free. anyway, when i was in rome last march i had no cigarrettes when i arrived. my sister had class though so i was sitting around and i had monies so i thought okay now is a good time to go buy some. so i go to the corner store and ask for a pack of lucky strikes. sadly, they do not carry them. i am about to ask for camels when the lady behind the counter points at two different boxes so i just randomly pick one of the boxes because i did not want to deal with the language barrier. i pay for my smokes and then out of nowhere the cashier pulls out an umbrella and gives it to me. i became very confused and everyone in the store started to giggle to themselves at the silly american boy. turns out my cigarrettes came with a free umbrella. sadly that day it was so warm and sunny and i had no bag with me and i was not interested in carrying around an umbrella all day (i was touristed around rome all that day and did awesome stuff like eat pizza and drink booze in front of various historical locations (read: pantheon and coliseum) ) so i dumped the umbrella on a street light. im sure somebodys day was made when they found a free umbrella on a street corner though. and i do wish i still had it.
-
As kids, my brother and I came first and second in a best costume competition for being the only two people to remember to dress up. :?
Between us, it was about $500 in bicycle store vouchers so we were well paid for the embarassment, I suppose. :roll:
-
I own those things because they multiply my ridiculous factor by 40.
-
I own those things because they multiply my horrid factor by 40.
-
I make bad decisions
-
Its too late now, I've already made the bad decision.
(I fully intend to only use these in a hilarious and ironic manner guys, seriously)
-
If I saw you on the street with those i would not think you were being ironic. i would simply be frightened.

I would not wear them on the street.
Places I may wear them:
To a concert while being dressed up in a suit.
To a party with friends, we will all have a good laugh and make a kanye west joke
Any youtube video. Maybe I can be an internet celebrity.
Places I won't wear them:
Out and about as if they are part of my regular fashion and not something I am doing for a specific reason.
To bed.
I have gotten pretty smart about fashion from THE FASHION THREAD.

I recently "qualified" to win something tonight.
I get a call from the manager at Old Chicago who says I've been one of 5 people chosen to compete in the Perfect Pour contest, to be held on St. Patrick's Day. I have to pour a pint of guiness better than anyone.
I think I can do it.
