I just finished posting on the lottery thread again, and it's fun stuff to talk about, so it hit me that I oughta start this one and any of us that wish can tell each other what we've won in our lives, per sweepstakes or contests with prizes.
I play the lotto mainly cuz I dunno why but I've had luck throughout my life of winning things, and always felt that though it feels and sounds too good to be true that I probably have one "big" win coming in my life,so I play Publisher's Clearinghouse online, and lotteries through friends and family in Texas. I'm even in the lotto in texas through two different people at times, one in San Antonio and other in Dallas area.
Okay! I am 50 and when I was 12yrs. old I won 100. bucks on a radio station, but it was Friday the 13th. and first day of a contest where we had to guess which celebrity they had recorded whispering into the mic. It was Ms. Whisper contest, then Mr. whisper, once they had a winner, and they gave a few clues every day, or intended to, but I won on the 13th. the first day of the contest, and actually cuz I have a sister named Diana and it was Diana Ross whispering, and I got in when dialing a bunch and didn't even have a name to guess,so I looked at my sis, gave that name and freaked them and me out, cuz I won.
It's gets stranger....three years and one day later on an Oct. 14th, yes I won another 100. bucks on the same radio station in the afternoon, after school and the university Texas/Oklahoma football game was that weekend, and I had told a dear friend at school that I was giong to go home and win something so I could go to the game, and then I did, LOL.
I've won a five thousand dollar savings bond, that was my biggest, in a drawing in a store on base years ago, a hundred dollars free groceries and a red wagon for kids by having my entry drawn out of a huge box. All of these were a few years apart in the same store, but the drawings were by different vendors, hence it being allowed for me to win repeatedly cuz I was a customer of each of them separately.
I won a cheap camera, concert tickets, coke and chips, and albums on the radio when in jr. high and high school.
I won a 25. buck gift certificate in a grocery store by just standing in the checkout and a gal from their offices walking up to one customer each hour, randomly.
I sat with hubby at an awards dinner and we won a stereo when our name was drawn out of the box, but since hubby had helped put the awards and prize thing together we of course told them no way, put our name back in and draw again, but it's just a trip how many times I've won stuff.
