All expenses trip from Nike to see the US National Team play one of their send-off matches before the 2010 World Cup.

Filled out a slip and dropped it in a box at Dick's Sporting Goods.

A buddy back home in Bama won the Bassmaster's Sweepstakes several years ago.

He won:

Brand new nice arse bass boat/trailer $45,000

New Chevy TrailBlazer $30,000

Kawasaki Mule $10,000

Cash $40,000

He doesn't fish at all. He just got into filling out online sweepstake stuff. Hit the jackpot.

He sold the boat on Ebay. Gave the truck to his Mom. Kept the cash. The Mule is stillnsitting in his garage getting old. Prolly driven it once.

We had a Halloween carnival raffle that we sold tickets to the community for. $1

My dad always bought 5 from me and any kid in the neighborhood that came by selling them.

One year I sold him the ticket that won the grand prize of a 40 inch TV (I’m guessing that’s how big it was.. I was in 2nd grade) back in the late 80s. My dad was pretty pissed because he had to buy a new entertainment center to house it. Playing NES on that thing was awesome.

I won a Rickey Henderson rookie card at a card show when I was a kid (or maybe pre teen/early teen). That's all I got.

Won a bunny one time from a Thankgiving Macs Fresh market.

It looked a wild one. They probably raided a bunny nest to get it.

I built a cage for it.
Cute little bunny.

I haven’t won anything as big as a trip, but I’ve won:

Tickets to Voodoo
Tickets to Jazzfest with press area passes for Mumford and Sons set
Tickets in the Walkons owner’s suite at the Independence Bowl, which came with parking passes, some goodies, and a $500 Visa gift card
Tickets to Bret Michaels, lmao
I actually won VIP passes for BR Blues Fest last year from one entity, and I won them again this year from another entity

In 2016, I won a trip to Bardstown, Ky from Beam/Suntory. I was at Albertson's and texted the word BOURBON to a number to enter. They contacted me a few weeks later. They flew my wife and I to Louisville, provided a rental car,and paid for a room at Bourbon Manor . We got tours at the Jim Beam American Stillhouse and at Maker's Mark.

And we got a 1099 for the value of the trip.

My girlfriend, now wife, won 52 $100 gift cards to various restaurants around the Lafayette area. She was a broke college student at the time and her sister was selling the tickets so I had to give her $10 to buy one. Was pretty cool and took way longer to get rid of than I’d imagine. That was in 2012 and I think we still have a couple cards with a little credit left on them.

I won a fly rod at Sports Unlimited on Sherwood Forest back in the day. It was part of a raffle giveaway. I was 6 i think. My brother worked there at the time so it may have been rigged, but I choose to believe it wasnt.

Also (yes I'm a massive nerd), I won a TI-83 silver edition calculator at National Mu Alpha Theta (that's nerd need for math club) Convention in a raffle.

Most recently, I won a Benelli SuperNova 12ga at a clay shoot that I was only invited to because someone else couldn't make it last minute.

I won a Mud Buddy mudmotor in a Christmas contest on their wed site in 2010. It was a random drawing type thing. I couldn’t believe I’d won an $8000 motor for nothing.
