Have you ever won anything? What was it? How did you win it?

I just won an iPad mini yesterday at the company Christmas lunch and it reminded me that I've only won one other thing that I can remember and that was an AppleTV back in 2011 at a citrix conference. In 6th grade I won an LSU t-shirt by answering a question that the answer was Tommy Hodson at my middle school.

So what have you "won" in the past and how did you win it? I got the iPad mini yesterday from a random drawing door prize.

A Toyota metal/leather keychain + pen at a free raffle. There was good BBQ after the dealership bike ride and I hung around for a bit since my friend was leading the whole thing. I don't know where either items are First and only time I won something randomly.

I won some random drawing on a bands fan club site back in college. It was a cd case and some bumper stickers. I also won a door prize at a fundraiser dinner several years back. Gift certificate to somewhere. Gave it to my wife. Nothing like an iPad but you can get those for under $100 from cell carriers now.

I won a Benelli SBE for $50 via a DU raffle earlier this year.

Pretty awesome to be honest.

I won a mountain bike from O Boy O Berta beef jerky. I was eating jerky and inside the packaging was an entry form. I had an extra stamp, so I filled it out and sent it in. About 6 months later, I got an envelope from O Boy and when I opened it it had a gift certificate for a Schwinn Mountain Bike. All I had to do was go to Schwinn and they would set me up. That was about 10 yrs ago. I still ride the bike to this day??

I was on Jeopardy!, I came in second and won a trip to Toronto.

My wife was on Hollywood Squares and won $65,541 in cash and prizes- including two weeks in France, two weeks in Italy, a brand new Chevy Blazer, and around $28,000 in cash.

No b.s.- it really happened.

I won a 7 day trip for 4; all expenses paid to Hawaii courtesy of the Houston Astros. Picked my seat number.

How cool is that!

In college I worked as a janitor at a radio station. One day the manager walked up to me and said "Congratulations, you just won 2 tickets to the Super Bowl." He had entered all the employees names in a lottery and I won! I took my dad (or rather he took me) and it was incredible. It was the 1970 game, the Chiefs beat the Vikings, but mostly I remember the halftime show, burgers from Frostop, the sun coming out late in the evening, casting a golden glow over Tulane Stadium.

I won a basketball goal from the Super Fresh on Sherwood about 20 years ago. Lowered it to 8ft and nuked it with tomahawk slams throughout junior high.

I won some tickets to a concert and a gift bag by calling in to the Rod Ryan on I think it was 106.7 the end at the time. They wouldn't give it to me because I was only 16 so I had to get my sister to pick it up for me.

I took a piss next to Rod Ryan years later in Sherlock's on Grey street in Houston. I told him the story (walking out, not while pissing) and he remembered me, my sister, the question I got right, and my brother whose name I mentioned because he had won the gallon challenge and something else around that same time. Blew my mind.

I also won a Taylor made fairway wood in a random raffle at a golf tournament.

I won the hooters scramble tournament and the long drive contest in that one and got all kinds of shite but don't remember what.

I won the genetic lottery. I am a white, straight male, tall, intelligent, with a full head of hair and no physical deformities. I was born to two loving middle class parents and into a very supportive, Christian family. I was born in the United States of America and, to boot, in the South. I was born in time to see the invention of the internet and smart phones and 7 Star Wars movies.

I just remembered the best thing I won and the one that will piss off some posters.

I won 3 bottles of bourbon at the Calandros raffle a couple years ago. Brought a coworker and both our names were called day one and my name was called day two. That was pretty awesome and I thought I was going to get jumped in the parking lot.

I won a 2015 Bowtech prodigy and scent lok camo package from bow hunting magazine. I was bored one day exploring slickdeals and saw they had a contest section. Signed up for a few different ones and ended up winning it. I don't hunt so it's just been sitting in the box waiting for me to take it to the range to play.
