What is the best/biggest thing you have ever won?

i gave a shady character 100 bucks then he gave me back 200 the next day, then the next week i gave him 200 and got 400, then i ended up getting 2,000 bones a week. good times.

 

Turkoglu?

 

Hedo to my knowledge is a swingers resort...

 

I won a Lady Death first/limited edition-something-or-other at a comic book show when I was in college. I still have it somewhere. Ima dork.

 

I've won about $150 in the lotto a couple of times. I've also won watches twice -- probably worth about $150 but not my style so I gave them away.

I also won a GPS for the car back when they were about $600. So I still have that, even though the maps are 5 years out of date, and the thing is crap compared to the cheapies available today.

When I was in highschool, a friend won free concert tickets for a year from a concert promo company. That was a cool prize. He had great tickets for pretty much all the big concerts that came to town.

A client won a $2m house. (same lotto from which I won the ugly watch). And a colleague on assignment was invited into an office pool that shared $1m (her share was about $80K). The assignment was in Montreal, and since she didn't speak french was unaware why she was the only one still working until someone clued her in.

 

Nothing that I recall.

 

I've won books and cds and a few concerts, but that's about it. My luck usually sports related. Getting free tickets to games or good seats.

 

2000$+ cash from gambling.

50$ cash raffle.

 

Frequently won "my three songs" (was that on KLOL?) or contests like it once a year or so for a while in the 90's. Lots of concert tickets and cd's and whatnot.

Oh, and ed mcmahon used to tell me all the time "You may already be a winner of 1 million" but it never panned out.

 

I won the Rockets Ultimate Fan Challenge in 08-09 season. It was a photo submission contest, then viewers could vote for one of the top 3 aired during a game by texting in. I got to sit in Les Alexander's seats for a game valued at $2400- I took my sister. Literally, best seats in the house. I got interviewed that game by FSN. Sucks that I had (or my dad had) to pay taxes on it.

 

About $5mil from some Nigerian Prince

 

When I was younger I was really poor and my grandpa gave me 50 cents to buy some chocolate for my birthday. Of course I got a Wonka bar because they are the best and there was a golden ticket inside the wrapper, which was redeemable for a tour of Wonka's candy factory. All kinds of crazy s*** happened in there but at the end Wonka gave me the whole factory, which I immediately sold for a net of about $310 million.

True story.

Sorry Heod is short for hedonism 3. Its not a swinger club, just clothing optional that swingers might go to. :grin:

 

Heod = HEDO

 

I won the Texas two step and got $500,000..

Spoiler

..and then i woke up

 

I won a really cool 10 speed bike from JC Penney that had an innovative (at the time) disc brake system that apparently never caught on, as I don't see them around today. Great bike, but it got stolen.

After googling, I can't believe I found this vid of what appears (to my memory) to be the same type bike. Nearly identical.

i finally won the annual family monopoly game a few years ago.

i honestly can't think of anything.

 

In 1998 I won a Cactus Cash scratch off grand prize of $5,000, while a senior in high school. I still have the stock account I put most of the money in, its worth about $22,000 now.

Other than that, I've won a set of Cobra CXI irons in a golf tournament (I still play with them).

I've hit a couple $500 to $1000 hits on slots in Vegas. I also cleaned up about $3,000 at a Craps table one time when I went to the table with $200.

 

ew. Am I the only one who read it this way at first?
