I won a free trip to the Master's on a flip of a coin in a post job meeting that took place in the driller's shack on a dilapidated rig in North Dakota after the well hit TD in record time.

This is an excellent baw story

In 1978 I won an American made Fender Stratocaster thru a Fender String raffle.
Buy three sets of strings, you registered for the Stratocaster.
Still have it and even though I’m more of an acoustic player I play it regularly.

Was at a technology conference several years ago and won an iPad 2. Ended up shattered several months later after my ex wife took it to a course she had to attend.

Won a custom 3-jet crawfish cooker from ESPN Radio in BR. I use it every year.

Only catch is that if you really want to use it to the full capability, you have to buy a regulator that can handle up to 60PSI. 30PSI regulator will work, but it takes a while

Won an Amtrak trip to Chicago, hotel and tix to see Aikman cowboys play bears. Unfortunately, Troy was hurt so we got Jason Garrett. Soldier Field and the crazy fans were cool though

Won a soap on a rope from some group at the county fair way back when I was 13 or so. They just let me know I won something and didn't say what.

When I collected it the broad could tell I wasn't impressed.

Was at WM semifinal game in Westgate back in 2010 and my friend bought a raffle split the pot that night.

We sat on on Westgate's side too; we were from WM.

When they called out the numbers I wasn't paying attention. Friend leaned over and said he had won but he wanted to keep it down as WM was whipping that arse and they knew we were from WM.

We went up to the press box and the announcer said, "So yall from WM huh?" We reluctantly and hesitantly said, "Uh, huh". He them proceeded to say, "So yall whipped our arse and taking our money!" He just handed him a huge was of cash over $400 and I told him that CCP may come in handy.

Two fans we met before ever winning noticed we won and said, "Yall best get on out of here" in a joking manner.

We went to a strip club and ate like kings that night. Made it rain and got laid. Great night all at those poor souls expense.
