Imma loser... of sorts. The only things I have ever won were an elephant ride when I was nine( and I'm pretty sure everybody "won" a ride just to drag mom and dad and their wallet to the fair) and I once went on a filling-out-online-entry-blanks-for-two-years-and-all-I-got-was-a-bottle-of-non-alcoholic-mix-that-was-discontinued-by-the-time-the-contest-ended phase.

One time I won a chance to win a truck but someone got the winning key on the first try.

So question of the day- Have you ever won anything cool???

And I don't mean gamblin' winnins, we both know you probably lost as much as ya ever won...

Oh, I can relate! I was once at a raffle and bought the same number of tickets as everyone else. Then I sat there winless while everyone won again and again. By the time they were on their third win, some of the others gave me their winning tickets out of pity. It was a nice gesture, but ouch.

Back in 1986 I sent in a postcard as part of Showtime's "Guess the Oscar Winner" contest. One day I got a phone call and they told me I had won 2nd prize, a 36 inch projection Sony tv. In 1986 I could never have afforded to buy a tv like that, so when it was delivered a few months later it was very exciting. It was pretty high tech for its' day, and had external speakers mounted on both sides. That TV ending up lasting almost 20 years. Never won anything of significance since then.

I've won or placed highly for assorted accessories I've entered in craft competitions/expos. does that count? I didn't get prizes but it was nice to know acclaimed artisans and other craft boffins like my creations.
Also I've won over a lot of good people over the years and subsequently amassed an impressive pool of quality friendships...that's a pretty neat prize

A couple years ago I "won" an amazon vote thing where I got the opportunity to buy a 46" LCD tv for $700. It was a significant discount at the time. It pretty much forced me to jump into the HDTV realm. I'm pretty happy with it though.

Zeek, I guess you and Riverlove can duel it out for who has the best luck on FFF, It deffinitely ain't me...

Anyone know of anybody that ever won a lot on the lotto, or been on a gameshow?

When I was in HS, I won an album from a radio station. I was the correct caller.

Years later, I won another radio contest, by showing up at a live remote. The 1st one who showed up w/ a copy of an album from a certain group , won a free golf bag. It was the same album I had won, back in HS.

And the best part ? I got to hang out w/ Jewel ( the pop singer, not Staite ) and her then boyfriend / now husband, rodeo legend Ty Murray. He was in town for a sports convention, and Jewel was tagging along. And her little dog too....

Won a few card tourneys. Picked up $2000 on blackjack in about an hour's time in Vegas a few years back (paid for the trip, and then some). I had a hundred bucks that I set aside for gambling, and turned it into 2 grand.

Won the annual Hold 'Em tourney at work three years running now. It's always good for a couple hundred bucks. Won a few other poker nights, too.

Won a Fender Stratocaster in a drawing at a local music store. I sold it, as I didn't care for it as much as my '72 sunburst Strat or my '75 black one back then. Now I just miss 'em all...
