How do you win all that stuff? I want to win more things I've decided.

Oh yeah I have one more thing to add: I didn't win this but my friend's dad won a $25,000 scratch off ticket a year or two back. So winning lottery tickets do exist despite popular belief.

i would like the cowboy boots too!!
I have a girlfriend who wins EVERYTHING she enters, and I mean, everything - she even won a trip to disneyland off the back of a shopping receipt! She has won a months of all bills paid - really, you think of something she wins it! Always has.
I won a trip to Fiji once! I cried... it was on the radio and very embarassing - we used it for our honeymoon... other than that I have won some hair products! lol

kuntrygirl: Wow! That is amazing! I enter all manners of competitions (at least those I don't have to pay a substantial entry fee for) but I hardly ever win anything out of them.

Who got 10 pounds of chocolate? I'll trade you a pair of hot pink cowboy boots!

I won the mother lode of chocolate because the total amount of my groceries was an even dollar amount. I didn't have to do anything for the chocolate! They made a big deal about it and people were looking at me. I thought I would get jumped in the parking lot. I forgot till now that I also won something else at Trader Joes. A re-usable grocery bag. I still have the bag. The chocolate is long gone. If I had known that I might be able to trade for pink cowboy boots, I never would have given it to the kids across the street.

I won a rabbit once.

a few little things over the years. a few bucks in lotto.

Many years ago, in the same year, I won 2 trips to Hawaii. Just the trip, no hotel etc, so I never took either.

Once I won $1000 in merchandise in an Alaskan Art/Gift gallery, so I have a small collection of ivory, whalebone, and baleen.

It was 95 pounds!

I won a toilet seat, at a raffle. Kind of a dark maroony red. I'm not even sure I really won it, 'cause I gave my raffle ticket to my family to hold while I went to the bathroom, and when I came back they said my ticket won the seat. Kind of suspicious to win a toilet seat while I was using the bathroom.

We got more than 30 years of sittin' out of that seat, though. My folks installed it and it served well until they retired and sold the house.

That's the only real thing I can remember winning. Once I got some cheapo stuffed animal as a "prize" for a carnival game but I think the ticket to play cost more than the value of the prize so it doesn't count.

Edit: Oh wait! I did win a cool prize once a few years ago. A raffle at a plant nursery, I won the prize of choosing any plant I wanted. That was awesome. Can't believe I almost forgot.
