Have You Ever Won Anything Big?

[Robert_in_NY]

I've never won anything, of course I need to play (register, enroll, participate, etc.) to win and since I don't play...well, therein lies the answer.

I was at an event recently and passed by a booth. The man in the booth was trying to get me to register for a free drawing, I don't even remember what the prize was.

I told him that if mine was the only name in the hat, they'd pull out the tag that reads "Made in China".

I love those booths that you can enter for a Free trip to Disneyworld or some other place. Anyway, you fill out your information and guess what, everyone wins this free trip. They called me the one day and it was only going to cost me just so many thousands of dollars for my free trip. Well I politely told them no and told my parents about it. Well, the next day they won the same free trip

It is a good way for travel agents to get people interested and sell "free" trips.

When I got married I won something fairly small and dainty, but she's getting bigger all the time. There's a reason I have a comfortable couch...

I have received emails a couple of times telling me that I have won over a million dollars in a drawing of email addresses.

I did not respond to these emails because I figured that there must be people out there who can use the money more than I can.

A friend of mine's dad won and Oldsmobile once. Everytime I was at his house he had a T.V. tray with post cards and envelopes on it. He registered for every give-away he saw. He would win the occasional trinket, but the car was his one big win. He said he figures that broke even over the years worth of stamps he used.

I tell you what, we will split it. You can have the front half with the seats, I will take the dump box and add a draw bar and use it that way. You see, we can both win

I've got a fellow in Nigeria who's transferrring a large amount of cash into my bank account. As soon as it arrives I'll buy you each one of those UTV thingies!

You mean he was legit? I told him where to go last time he contacted me. I am still upset I never got that $26,455,832.34 from that doctors family that needed my help. I even gave them my bank account number because I felt bad for them rich sons of

Maybe they were mad because I only had $10 in there

A co-worker (15 years ago) won the Missouri lottery, $1.8 million. He died a couple months ago. Myself? Nada.

Years ago, I won $1000 at the annual REMC members meeting (rural power company), but we had already left, so I didn't get it, friends told me later. Didn't stop to consider the odds: 200-300 people present. Since then, the best was $64 in the Hoosier Lotto, decided I'd better quit while I was ahead.
Always tell my wife not to put in name, address and phone no. in every little drawing at the county fair (and me likewise on the internet). That's a tried and true way for sales people to get prospect lists.
