It doesn't have to be the grand prize or anything but have you guys ever won a prize from drawings?


In recent years, I had won a DJ hero swag pack(DJ hero hat,sticker,and keychain) from Gamestop.

Not so much anymore, but I used to enter a lot of contests frequently, and was pretty successful doing that. Entering the maximum number of times the rules allow for is usually the key, as is picking non-peak time periods for instant win games.

I won Gears of War 2 Limited Edition (with one of those COGs or whatever that they were hiding everywhere), DJ Hero, Audiosurf, Osmos, a couple of random XBLA games, and an autographed photo of Ric Flair in that silly Red Alert 3 commander outfit. I also won Prince of Persia, NCAA Football 10, and Red Alert 3 Premier Edition, but I never did get around to playing any of those three. For shame.

I won an Easter colouring contest when I was in elementary school. And a jelly bean count a couple of years later. I won a basket full of candy and a Campbell's Soup blanket, respectively.

The biggest prize was the Kinect and Xbox 360 bundle I won when those were launched. Other than that, it's mostly smaller scale stuff here and there, nothing huge. But always appreciated. :D

Let's see...a long time ago I scored two tickets to a Washington Capitals game in a raffle (back in the days with Steve Konowalchuk, Peter Bondra, Calle Johansson and several other names). I think they won that game, but I can't remember.


In college, I managed to win copies of R6V2, PGR4, Prince of Persia (Nolan North version) and The Simpsons Game all for the Xbox 360 as a result of various videogame raffles/contests, also because this one guy was apparently contracted by Ubisoft to push their products in the gaming group and around campus. Also a hat with the Assassins Creed 2 logo and a big triangular wedge for my laptop to help prevent it from overheating (it works, but the fans spin at like 60 rpm).

I won an Alan Wake branded flashlight from the guys at Remedy. It was some simple Twitter contest. A simple but wonderful flashlight.

I won an easter egg from a school wide raffle when I was a child.

Recently I won a signed copy of Blazblue Continuum Shift by entering a contest.

I won a 32" Sylvania LCD HDTV at a church raffle a few years ago. I also won a fly-fishing rod at my high school graduation party in 2008.

Few years back I won a copy of the Unreal Tournament 3 collector's edition, before that I won a copy of Full Spectrum Warrior along with some goodies linked to it. Admittedly I tend not to enter contests unless it takes me less than 1min to do, generally just not worth the effort.

The only competition I ever one was a kid magazine comp for 2 Spyro games going a couple years back, Enter the Dragonfly and A Heroes Tail. I was a big Spyro fan back then but A heroes Tail was the last straw as nothing about what made the first 3 on the Psone great were in it.
