I once won a bbq by buying all the raffle tickets I was given to sell for a fundraiser at my son's preschool. That was cool reward for laziness.

I also one won a trip for four to disneyland... via a pop-up on my computer that promised I was the one millionth visitor. Since I was technologically naive at the time, I also called the number they supplied and gave all my personal info... stopping only when they asked for a credit card number to pay for some minor expense not covered by my winnings.

This was definite cause to be disgusted by myself... and I started getting all those pesty 'you have won' phonecalls and e-mails afterward.

I once won a little black and white TV at a charity crab feed raffle. Believe it or not, I actually wanted to win the car. I didn't know the person who won the car but I hated them when they went up to claim the prize. Strange how quickly we make character judgements, huh?

I think in the end, we all just want to know someone won and it wasn't bogus.

Nice going on the TV Gregor, ....although I would have wanted the car too!

Tec, you made be laugh about buying up all the tickets for your kid!!!!! My solution at the time was to call and scream at a coach for forcing the kids to sell tickets when they needed to do homework....they were required to sell stuff untill midnight...despite poor grades.

What I heard back was, the coach told my son......"I'm praying for you son with that mother of yours"

I was livid. It's been so long now, but I think I promptly pulled him off the foot ball team after that.

I was sitting in a danky dark bar one night in Ogallala Nebraska...they had a lottery scratch off machine and I decided to stick in $10 and get 10 one dollar tickets...I go back to the bar sit down and begin scratching...I WON $25 dollars I had never won anything in my life...I motion to the bar keep and show her the ticket...she looks at the ticket (mind you it's very dark inside) and says you didn't win $25 you won $250...I about fell out of my chair as she peeled off $250 from the cash drawer...

I won a turkey at a drawing during Thanksgiving.

I was torn between keeping it or giving it back.

My co-workers thought I was a fool.

I was.
