Just curious as to some of the things that you guys/gals have won from some sort of contest.
Things you have won.
I won a BMX bike in first grade for not missing a single day of school.Thing was really heavy and looked really expensive.A few months after I got it,I popped both the tires and somehow bended the front wheel.We ended up leaving it in a apartment dumpster.
I once won a impressive Easter hamper while getting drunk at an RSL during a trip to Merimbula. A bunch of us went to have a meal, then a mate won the seafood platter. The next thing to be drawn was the Easter hamper, which was a blue plastic washing basket filled with loads of chocolate stuff. The number got called, and none of us had the right ticket. But then the person who should have won never fronted, and I won on the redraw.
I then went on to get completely drunk, win $100+ on the pokies and then spend $200+ on booze. Fell asleep in the shower when I got home, but at least we had a lot of free chocolate and prawns to help me through my hangover the next day.
I won a zboard from On The Spot once. I just came home one day and found it propped up against my door. I haven't used it at all.
"Seriously best thing I think I ever won was a bar of soap that said MacTavish on it, so not much. "
DUDE! That's awesome!!
" @SlashseveN303 said:I sent it to Giant Bomb. I don't know what happened to it past a brief mention of "someone sent us a bar of soap, that was funny" on a mailbag video. Maybe if I get that internship I'll finally find out. Then again if they find out I'm the guy who sent that in, I might be fired on the spot."Seriously best thing I think I ever won was a bar of soap that said MacTavish on it, so not much. "DUDE! That's awesome!! "
I'm currently about $45 in the black as far as scratch tickets go. So I don't plan on buying another one in my life, thus meaning I will have officially won the lottery.
I've won a few trophies and medals boxing and a few football (soccer) trophies as well. I have a couple of running medals and a third place medal from a smash brothers tournament, embarrassingly beaten by my younger brother.... Kirby just doesn't match up well with Wolf! I won a game and various other prizes from a time I came second in ONM Britain's greatest Nintendo gamer competition and though I didn't win anything I played games on tv a bunch also. Oh I also won a free copy of pokemon diamond and a free easter egg for going to my local store with some friends dressed as game characters for there anniversary. I think that's everything, I got the kings pack dlc from the behemoth in a give away but I don't know if that's the same as winning something?
I won 800 Ms points through a download and win sweepstakes one time. That was bananas considering the odds.
I won lemony snicket's a series of unfortunate events for the PS2.
A bunch of stuff over the years. And games from friendly users on Giantbomb!
Those are the best though, the games, I like games
I won an xbox 360 premium system with kamel elements of power and need for speed most wanted from mountain dew back in 2005. I got it two weeks before the launch date, it was fucking awesome when I won that. I also recently won $175 in subway money.
- I once won $20 on a lotto ticket.
- Back when Anime Vice still existed I won a DVD from them.
- I won some DVD from a contest someone on this site did involving photoshopping.
- Back when they gave away free pop if you got the winning pop cap I used to win those all the time.
I won a Black Templars army in a GW raffle and if you understood that you'll love my one man show Commisar123 does GamesWorkshop standup on Broadway this summer tickets

nothing until very recently i wont a kinect from youshape fitness/facebook contest. so now i've got two kinects. :P
Early 1997, a Swedish television show called Web-TV was on, and I was announced the winner in a competition telling the hosts what Beavis and Butthead would do on their show, and began waiting for the promised copy of the Oddworld clay-mation game. I'm still waiting. I've got a copy of the VHS as well as a small VCD cut of the winning segment where my name is announced together with my contribution, when I get bored enough I'll track the people down and see if we can do something about it.
In all my 35 years I've won two things: $100 at a raffle, and concert tickets on the radio. That is all.
