Today I actually won a prize and seeing how I rarely if ever win anything I'm very happy.
I won a nokia 3220 mobile phone.
The jist of this thread is what things have you won in competitions and how did it make you feel?
-
i won several gold medals in past competitions in wheelchair racing. the real good feeling was winning the gold medal in the javelin and 400m race at the junior nationals in 2001
-
Only time I ever won a prize was in elementry school. I was shocked and happy, to bad that was many many many many many many years ago. -_-
-
Has anyone ever won a raffle that wasn't fixed?
-
Can I have the nokia phone?
-
no you can't [smiley=ddr555.gif]
-
i won a lame backpack in a raffle that i wasnt aware that i was a part of...
-
I'm still waiting for my prize due to the bank holiday weekend. >:(
-
i won a badminton bag thru a raffle at a competition......parents won a tv before....LONG time ago..........does a free ticket for 647 count? :P
erm.......won a few medals in highschool competitions...those were nice :) I'll remember those for a long time.....*sigh* i miss highschool
-
Gah, I think my prize will never come.
/me curses nokia for not shipping the phones faster.... :-[
-

The problem is that Nokia hasn't shipped any of the phones to the UK. I should get it within a week of it shipping.

I won the wireless keyboard mouse duo combo from Logitech a few years back. They were giving away like 3000 of them over so many hours.
The problem is I don't think they realized someone would sit and hit reload when it said "You didn't win" at the top. So without waiting for the rest of the page to reload I won 3 sets that way in about 25 minutes of hitting reload. I gave 2 sets away to people who were trying as well but kept losing.
I should feel bad that at my work place there were about 30 of us doing this same thing. I believe we had almost 80 of the keyboards mouse combos before it was over.
Would that count as rigged?

i was just reminded of the beach towel i won from starbust (its HUGE and has starburst written on it with tons of fruit splashing) i won it when they wer ehaving some contest about a new flavour. my cousin and i called in from a pay phone at the local movie theatre after we saw mulan (we were waiting for my mom to pick us up). for some reason they had some annoying pig as the mascot for the damn giveaway and on the phone he would talk to you and then it sounded liek the wheel from wheel of fortune was spinning. we called like 5 times and gave false addys for our real ones but when i gave my real addy i won! it took about 3 months to get the thing (summer was over by then) but it was exciting and yeah what a long story.
-
I didn't win it but I was hoping to win a contest from a radio station that went under and was giving away all the cds and records they had played in the last 5 years. This was a big deal since they played almost any and everything. I forgot the guy's name that did win, but that is strange as I cursed it for at least a month.
-
as a baby i won a bank account over 30 Deutsch Marks. when I was in middle school I won a stereo in a raffle. it was also in middle school that my handball team took the first place in our leauge a couple of times. in highschool I beat myself when I ran my personal best time over 3.3 miles in pouring rain.
the endorphines made me feel happy... but i'm sooo lazy now >_<
-
you were a super baby
-
yup, and I didn't age very well. now I am a super baby at heart, maybe, and that's probably quite a stretch ;_;
-
not really a stretch :P was it a beautiful baby contest?
-
/me wonders if there are photos ;D
-
me too
-
Cryptic wants some baby blackmail photos.
-
according to dead they have plenty of photos with which to blackmail kabbage o_O
-
and why haven't they then?
-
Maybe we can have amusing photos in the 'members' section of the website. At the moment that section is seriously low on fun.
-
Membership has it's privilages.
that slogin still haunts me from high school it's is the conjunction of "it is" they wanted to use its.
The worst part is they gave it to me because I was on honor roll. I figured it was a test to see if I would take it or not. But I was wrong since they seemed kind of pissed when I laughed till I cried at it.
-
i happily sailed through highschool while being a member of several clubs that i hardly attended meetings to i won a free pair of shoes. well it was buy 2 get one free but i felt like a winner
-
the only winner I was in school was first loser.
-
oh i thought you wouldve won for class clown...or maybe that would be kabbage...
-
Actually I was voted most dependable in my senior class. What the f**k does that mean?
-
they could depend on you to come last
-
I think it was they could depend on me to be one of the few people to get out of that area as fast as possible and only come back for weddings and funerals.
-
thats depressing
-
Well at least I have done so. So they can depend on me woot.
-
o_O
-
Being Evil means never having to say you are sorry. .... Crap that needs to go over in my new area.

Scarily my prize arrived the other day, yay!

I figured out how to be a winner today, 26 cents for each 74 cents invested.
McDonalds has gone off on another game for monopoly. This year you
get a game piece for Best Buy dollars. They are always winners of at
least 1 dollar, but sometimes 5, or 10. You get your game piece with
large fries or chicken nuggets. That is unless you read the rules
online. There is a "free" way to get a game piece. You mail in a
self addressed stamped envelope to get free game pieces.
Here are the rules, but keep in mind at 2 stamps per ticket (one stamp
for your letter to them and one for returns) you are making 26 cents
minium:
The statement "no purchase necessary" refers to the fact that
customers can participate in the game without making a purchase from
McDonald's. Game pieces and Best Buy Chance pieces may be obtained
through an alternate means of entry by mailing, postage prepaid, a
self-addressed, stamped envelope with your name, address, city, state
and zip code to:
Monopoly® Best Chance Game 2.0 at McDonald's®
Game Piece Request
P.O. Box 1497,
Young America, Minnesota 55594-1497
Vermont residents may omit return postage. Mail-in requests must be
postmarked no later than November 8, 2004 and received no later than
November 15, 2004. One (1) Game Piece (consisting of two Monopoly Game
Stamps), plus one (1) Chance Piece (consisting of two Monopoly Game
Stamps, and one Best Buy Chance Piece) will be mailed in response to
each mail-in request that is received in accordance with the Official
Rules, while supplies last. Please allow 1-4 weeks after you have
mailed in your request.
