Anyone ever win contests/sweepstakes ?

Excluding raffles.. Raffles are legit, I've won some pretty good stuff before, especially when car events have raffles.

Also excluding contests that involve some sort of judging entree. Those are legit like the ones where you come up with the best design/anything and win by selection of judgement.

But what about contests /sweepstakes and drawings? Ones you enter online, mail entry or in person.

I have never won crap.

I don't think if anyone ever won a legit $$$ sweepstakes, they wouldn't even think about joining a 240sx forum. Just sayin.

On another note, a friend won 2 UFC tickets via internet sweepstakes, but did not include flight. He lives here in Cali and flew out to somewhere in Indiana.

I won a BS prize pack from L.A. Noire. 3 T-Shirts in the wrong size, a branded cardboard cup, some magnets, a flashlight, and some pencils. Oh, and a hollow weighted can of "peas" for stashing stuff.

Gave the shirts to a skinny friend, use the flashlight, the rest is in a drawer. Still waiting on those cash sweepstakes.

Back when I was about 8 years old, there was a contest on Nickelodeon. It was for a Jack Stone lego set. All you had to do was write your info on a card and mail it in. Couple weeks later, I received the lego set and a letter saying congratulations and that I was the winner.

It was pretty sweet!

I won a pair of snowboard gloves from Neff.

It was a facebook drawing. Reply on their wall-post and you were entered to win. It was like 4 days old, had 2500 posts, so I figured I had no chance. I replied anyways.

I was one of 4 winners. People were pissed lol.

Why is it that old people always win?

I won $405 at a bar 3 weeks ago, one of those 50 cent gamble cards you do, match them like a slot machine.

And I almost won the lotto last week, 3 numbers off but my numbers were really close

ibuypower.com was having giveaway's a few months ago. Rules were you had to have their logo as your FB profile pic and fill out a survey. I won myself a copy of Microsoft Office 2010. But didn't receive it 'cause I was too late to reply and claim it . So it was given to someone else.
