I won a lucky ticket twice at an LSU baseball game back in the 1990's. First time, I won a Tshirt and a second time, Mike Koerner hit a double and I won an autograph baseball signed by the team.

$1000 in visa gift cards for 1st place in the chi chi’s hormel super bowl display , then a year or so later in a summer bread contest my store got 1st place and won a free cruise, really nice room huge balcony… the travel agent upgraded our room and even left like 150$ on our account, it was cool but we’ll never go again, I can’t imagine paying for that.

In 5th grade I won the entire catalog of Zoobooks for collecting the most pinecones for the Audubon Zoo to make some kind of bird feeders out of. Pretty much the only thing I’ve ever won.

When I was 10 years old or so my (God Sent Sainted Grandmother/best person I've ever known) entered my name for a free helicopter ride at the Ruston, La Walmart.

I won

I was scared to death but got in and took my trip, strapped in with the door open. It was freaking awesome !!!

And there was Mamaw Lou as we landed grinning from ear to ear.

When I was an lsu student at lsu in 2011 they have out scratch off tickets at a basketball game. Everyone with the first 4 numbers got brought to the court of the PMAC at halftime. Mike the tiger pulled out the final number and I won $1,000 and got to watch the rest of the game from the floor. Was a pretty badass experience.

I’ve got a buddy that’s won a 2-week cruise and a Slingshot in separate contests. I don’t think I’ve ever won more than $5 on a scratch-off.

When I was a kid I won a trip to the Holy Land with some church group in a drawing at our hometown bank. I filled out a entry while momma was in there one day doing business. Think I was about 9 years old. This was around the time of the Iranian hostage crisis. Of course she didn’t let me go on the grounds I’d be kidnapped by Iranians or PLO terrorists.
