I have won tickets off the radio manytimes for different events and concerts.  Most recently, last week, I won a family 4-pack of tickets to the aquarium.  At a previous job, I won a TV.  Had it until last year when we replaced it.

I went to Atlantic City a few years ago put in 5 quarters into a progressive machine and I won 2,300 dollars.

A couple years ago DH was in living room checking numbers on a lottery ticket, a Cash 5 with top prize of $700,000.00. He started making odd sounds. We had 4 out of 5 numbers,the 5th number was an 8...we had a 9. Still got $217.00 for having 4 numbers.

I once won 2 liters of Pepsi through a radio contest.  I never picked them up.

Another time, I won $100.00 cash from a drawing at a Home and Garden Show.  Hopefully I spent it on something fun!

Last spring my husband won a convertible.  It was a charity raffle where a limited number of (expensive) chances were sold.  I cannot tell you how many times (at least once a year for MANY years) he's entered this kind of raffle before but finally, HE WON.

My husband did once.  Won tickets to a concert at the fair.  We didn't know who Alan Jackson was then.  So he gave up the tickets.  Now we know!!!!

A Chinese raffle of 4 bottles of wine.  $1241 once at a casino. Concert tickets, 

I’ve won many things over the years but one year in a “reverse raffle for a car”. It was down to me and one other person. I was #2.  No consolation prize, the other lady won the bmw I went home with nothing.  Haha.

When I was 18, I won a $1 thousand shopping spree at a local department store.  I split it with my mother, since she told me about the contest and shopped there more than I did.
